FFR on Facebook?!

[87x]

I see what a lot of you guys are saying. I understand where both sides of the argument can be made. I, for one, am for the idea.

Don't think about it so "personally". The game goes on facebook with either a full song list or truncated, you add a purchase system so people can buy more songs or song packs, and you give them a link to post their new high scores on their time line. Where is the down side?

If we think about it in math terms. Say we get 1 million people to play the game on facebook. 20% decide to buy song(s)/packs and another 20% decide to continue on with their new addiction. We don't link FFR to facebook, but you give them the option to "Link" their accounts at signup to transfer over their current scores and what-not to their new user name. You add a small interface change to allow/hide facebook modifications, ie, "Post score to facebook" link, in the game and you call it a day. Say a pack of 50 songs is $5. You just made the site a million dollars (theoretically). You also just added 200000 people to the FFR community.

This way you are generating revenue for the site, you are adding to the sites populace, and you aren't infringing on what we already love.

If you are worried about adding non "quality" members, you shouldn't be. What happens when a regular joe joins the forums and doesn't fit in? He gets "shunned" from the community and he stops posting. The forums will iron themselves out. The "bad people" won't stick around and post and the "quality" members will.

I say its a win-win for us.
