Should HipForums Provide A Connection to Facebook?

I used to look up bands all the time on facebook, to follow. It's handy for getting priority on tickets and all sorts. Anyway facebook's search engine is absolute codswallop when it comes to looking for the page of new bands and stuff! I always ended up using google instead and finding it fairly quickly that way. It's the same with YouTube, google is better at finding the video you are looking for.

 

Fyi Goggle + will soon require you to use your legal name..

 

if my identity became common knowledge to people on this forum, other than those i allow to know it, i will not stay at hipforums. simple as that.

my personal life and anything involved with it is exactly that - personal. so my answer is no.

 

it would probably turn this website on its head. nobody is going to be as honest as they once were, because what they say can be judged by the people that know them.

think about the kinky sections, true confessions, sexuality discussions - these places get the better traffic.

 

i tell every girl i meet i have a huge dick.

 

have you seen my penis? :frown:

 

This place has been a haven for me for nearly a decade. A retreat from my real life, a little secret. The two have merged slightly now, but I'd never, ever want my friends and family to see my posts. I'd be mortified. I worry about it happening, even.

If you want more traffic, this isn't the way. People will use Facebook in droves no matter what. The forum must be attractive in its own right and be nothing to do with Facebook. For me, comparing the two doesn't make sense, because they serve entirely different functions. Facebook is for talking to my real life friends and family about day to day stuff. Hipforums is for discussion with strangers about interesting topics which I'd never discuss with family. I don't favour one or the other, they're not related.

 

Count me in on this, too. I would leave if friends or family got to see my posts.

 

most def

 

I don't really care much either way, but there are a lot of things on here I wouldn't want people in my life to know. This is my vacation from life.

I think we could all band together and think of a way to drive more people here without getting in TOO personal with people close to us.

 

I made a conscious decision to leave Facebook and if it was linked to here I will leave here. I want nothing to do with Facebook. Sorry!

 

Dear god skip this thread kinda shocked me. I've seen you mention the CIA Facebook connection waaayyy too many times...I think I would be disappointed if you linked facebook up to this site.

I think of this site as my safe haven to say things I wouldn't normally say in real life. I don't see how facebook could possibly be stealing traffic from HF because they both serve two completely different purposes.

 

I personally don't think its a good idea to link up hip forums with facebook. I post things here that I don't want my family to know.

 

Agreed. I do not want to be in any more databases that I have no consent to. This is my little anonymity raft to keep my head afloat in the sea of collaged together conformity in the sake of "security". I fucking hate Facebook and it's demeaning values to our social sphere.

 

If your website's full of assholes, it's your fault
