Poll : Facebook link, what do we want......
I don't want to upset the proverbial Applecart or Godforbid get banned from
the site, but this subject has raised a lot of comments in a very short time.
So, quite simply, do we want a link to Facebook or not ?

Personally, I want absolutely nothing to do with 'facebook, twitter, my space' or any other 'social networking'site.

No worries...I had already indicated to The Boss that a poll was needed.
I was going to wait until after the weekend before doing it......but no worries,
if you get banned.....then so will I! 
I am on the 'No to FaceBook on LB' side......
We have a LB group on FaceBook, I don't feel we need it on here, but then
I don't want to appear 'stuffy'.

I am unfussed tbh, I'm a member on FB, but it aint the be all and end all! It can however be a useful communication tool, and a terrible waster
of time!
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Well it doesnt make any difference if the wadget is there or not.
users can play wadgets, and those who dont do wadgets avoid it.
Personally I quite like facebook, but it has to be moderated by the user. Otherwise you end up with a friend list of 600 before you know it.
With all my settings set high, and only 12 people I trust on my list, it works fine for me. I even put a ban of the ex Mrs so I dont even see her ugly
mush everytime I login -

IMHO, no place for it here.
I can't see the appeal of it one bit. Spent an hour looking through it a while back and that is all I ever want to do. People tend to write crap
for the sake of it, just so their seen as updating it. If I want to send someone a message I use email. I am not bothered one bit if someone has 573
friends.
Infact, what does that link at the bottom actually do?

I'm a member of facebook and I would actually find the link quite handy. I have a lot of friends who are into their cars as much as I am in to
mine. I often provide them links, posting the link on their facebook wall/profile so they can see them. The idea is that posting a link on their wall
allows my friends, friends to see the link as well and if they like the article then they can read it too - Rather than sending them it in an email so
only they can see it.
For those that are unsure what the button on this website actually does, If you have a facebook account and click 'like' on one of the
threads it would automatically post a link on your profile, which your friends could then see and read if they are interested.
If you don't click 'like' then it will do nothing. people from facebook won't start 'graffiti-ing' the forum
etc.
Any changes made to this site to bring it more into the current world will never be welcomed, just like when youtube's interface was updated -
nobody liked it, but everyone has forgotten about the changes now and just get on with using the site.
Talking of youtube when are we going to get integrated youtube videos in posts?
Just my 2 pence and giving a say for the darkside!

Its a no from me. If there are enough "NO" votes does it mean facebook will be removed from the internet? What a waste of space it is.
All ive seen it used for is for relatives to moan about their miserable lives and slag each other off. Who needs 200+ friends? It will only cost you
more at weddings,birthdays ect. And to the people who know me yes I admit Im a tight arse!: Just my opinion

No Vote
Problem I have with the Link is that at work the "IT Police" block Facebook / twitter etc and change the page to a "ATTENTION YOUR
ACTIVITES HAVE BEEN LOGGED" so that means now that every time I open a Locost thread I get multiple hits against the FIREWALL. Which means
that "Locostbuilder" will now start appearing on a List of "supsect" sites and then IT will ban it. the ********.
I would be quite happy with an option to Turn on or Off the link in the profile.

just because some people dont want it affecting their ability to log on to LB at work is no reason to loose the FB button. Your at work to work not
look at LB so why should it really bother you. If you dont like the button, dont use it. I dont like adverts, but they have to be there, I dont like
lots of things but they dont go away just because I personally dont like them.

But we do have breaks when it is acceptable to access non-banned (as yet) sites.

Personally I think it's an acceptable reason - I put in enough un-paid overtime to deserve a quick browse in work hours. It is only a matter of
time before I am unable to access due to the Facebook thing.
