Re: beating a dead horse

I agree. I'll drop this topic now. Whether we get the page back or not you guys drain me of my will to fight these things lol

There is a lot of lost potential on FFR, and I feel like social media is a way that could generate activity if it's pushed out frequently and shared by the players.

Re: beating a dead horse

I've watched a few digital artists and small 'companies' grow through facebook and media marketing, and I know what it could do for the popularity of FFR. That facebook page has way more potential than anyone could get out of it, if ran correctly and used to promote FFR.

There's a happy balance between posting updates and posting hype. There needs to be an aspect that will get people interested as well as keep people interested, and a Facebook page is easily capable of both. I'd argue the twitter could be better used as well, since it only tweets out changelog details at the moment as well. Perhaps someone could be added onto that as well to tweet about things upcoming with the site, new releases, didyouknow sort of facts.... I've got a lot of ideas for these sorts of things but it really takes someone that is going to take advantage of them to make it worthwhile. This is why a lot of groups will have people assigned to the role specifically. It's all entertainment in the long run, and to tell you the truth FFR is not entertaining to anyone outside of the local community, unless we get people hooked somehow.

(and then I could dive into the smaller FFR-on-Facebook Engine idea, etc, but that's another story altogether)

edit: lol @popsicle, you crack me up sometimes dude

Re: beating a dead horse

Why did only one person have access to the FFR page in the first place? Makes no sense to me.

Re: beating a dead horse

It was multiple originally. But over time people got added and removed, etc. I doubt it ended with just Jae, but it seems like it's probably aperson/Sprite-, Synthlight, and Jae with access or something like that (and good luck getting ahold of them...)

Re: beating a dead horse

G'day mate, I do have sole access to that particular page, and would be most happy to reallocate control of it. Appreciate the difficulty in doing so due to our household being a computer-free area for the past 16 months. I'm heading over to a friends place with pc access later this week, at which point I can swap the hands of control. If I haven't gotten back to you by the weekend, please send a reminder.

Will follow up on Friday as indicated by my response:

Sorry about the computer-free area (or maybe it was intentional?), and that sounds great about the access change. Thanks a lot, and I'll send you a message Friday if I don't get a response. Have a good one.

Re: beating a dead horse

Cool beans. Glad to see this might get resolved. Thanks.

Re: beating a dead horse

I can be an annoying, nagging piece of shit if I need to be. I'll get the control of this page back so that we can use it again. Hopefully, we'll get it back as planned. If not, the broken record will begin to perpetually loop and I'll do things the hard way. :V

Re: beating a dead horse

Okay I got Content Creator, along with Halogen.
That doesn't quite help as I expected though, since I still can't add other creators.
