I think we need a SO private FB page.

That is, of course, unless there already is one and I'm just not cool enough to be part of it! Embarrassed

Re: I think we need a SO private FB page.

  • Yeah PIP you aren't cool enough... I have been a member since 2010 Wink

  • I'm not cool enough either.

  • I was joking! I am not on any SO FB board lol

  • You know... I was on another board years ago and they had a private FB page.  I was so annoyed as apparently I wasn't cool enough and the conversations on the board were no longer making sense.

     

    But now... due to the nature of our circumstances, I think it is a great idea.  I am afraid of showing my pix on here but could do so on private FB page.

     

  • I have SO MUCH I could say on a private FB page that'd I'd never say on here, because of people I know IRL who follow my posts and report back to XH. The "private" factor wouldn't be to exclude anyone, for sure!
     
    I'm getting ready to head out for the day, and will be busy with garage sale stuff tonight...so if anyone wants to get is started, go right ahead! :)

  • Sounds like a good idea. But my pic is already on here - oh well. LOL

  • I'm not cool enough... but I would like to be.
    It's just me and my Marlon now... and I LOVE it that way!
  • Sounds like a good idea to me...I'm only friends with one SO person on FB, at the moment, but I would like to be friends with more and would definitely join a FB group!
  • I'd be down with that!

  • I'm actually hesitant about this.  Several years ago on ML (as well as more recently), people's real names were posted, etc., and it all stemmed back to FB.  If one person is friends with someone vindictive or spiteful, and that person has an open friends list, it's pretty easy to cull information.

    I hate to be a Debbie Downer, or an alarmist, but them's the facts....

    So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

    I was around for that fiasco, and no thanks. 

    A private forum, sure, but nothing that lets anyone know who I am or where I'm from or where I work. 

    Nothin' doin'.

    I hadn't thought about that, but it's a good point. Maybe a private forum is a better idea. People could share more if they were comfortable with it, but maybe not everything.

  • I don't really know much about it, but my local board all split off to proboards after all the new changes (that we have been lucky enough to dodge thus far). You have to be accepted by moderators and such I think...that could be another option...and its private I'm pretty sure.

     I agree...unfortunately. I love you all, SO board (well, the saner ones of you at least, which is most of ya!) but I just get really hesitant when it comes to that stuff. I'm pretty protective of my FB world.

  • I like the idea of a private forum but not sure about a FB group. Most days I want to post more but don't want too much personal info out there because of people IRL know my screen name.
  • I want to be a cool kid too!
  • I'm all for a private FB page!  Sounds fun.

  • I am in for a private board too & would post more. I recently got an email from xh about a post i made on TN, so i've been lurking lately.

  • What if we all make AE facebook pages just so we can all be on the private board and friend each other? We could use our own pictures, and then use our Nest names as our names on facebook. Then we won't have to share too much information.

  • I myself love being incognito due to stalker issues in the past from the exh. I don't post much due to that, but I'm usually around.

    I think this is a great idea. 

    I'd be fine with a private FB group because I would limit what people could see on my profile / info. Sure, you could see my pics and full name but nothing else.

    I like this idea.

    I am kind of with GOZF. There are some nesties that I have met IRL and a few that I email regularly but I still get nervous about putting all my info out there. A private page would be good so we could post stuff for the regulars on the board without lurkers being able to see everything. Using AEs will still allow for some privacy.

    I will organize it if no one else wants to.

    One of the other boards that I am on tried this.  It led to privacy issues and a stalking case.  Just you know for everyones consideration.
