Leave it on! Anything that brings new people onto the site has got to be a good thing!

But if, as is appears, it stops a bunch of current members using the site then surely that must be a bad thing.
I'm a massive FB user and think it's great... but I just can't see the benefit to LB in having this. If you are interested in kit
cars and go on Google and search you will soon find this site!
Cheers,
James

Yep, sorry Chris although it loads as an iframe it still registers on every page thats loaded and therefore triggers a report to our IT dept saying
you have tried to access a blocked page so it will lead to the site being blocked on our coporate servers very quickly. I know its doing this as its
showing a snippet of our page blocked logo!
So I will be logged off during the day now, and I expect a lot of other people will be the same.
+1 ^^^^^
I am the "IT Police" here so know what it is going to do on our systems. Think of it as a one-step-away style block, so while LCB is
"clean", it will be flagged as a bit "dirty" because it loads a page that is dirty - guilty by association.
Nothing against Facebook, but probably better to loose the link.
Tim.
Excactly the same here.
I am also the IT Police, which means if I want to view LCB I have to disable the firewall keyword blocking otherwise the whole page is blocked, which
opens Facebook out to the company. Sorry, but that's not going to happen without me being given my P45.
Is there a real reason for it being there other than just to say we've got it? Or does it help bump the forum/NetrinoUK up the search engines?

If I had to wait until I got home to come on here instead of when I'm supposed to be working, I wouldn't have any time left to actually
build my car

I have to agree... one of my pet-hates!
in my former 'career job' it would never have occurred to me to use the internet at work for non-work purposes... it was just drummed into
you that it was a no-no and that was that! Besides, I wouldn't have had the time (even during a lunch break... if I was lucky enough to get
one!),
Post retiral I got a job with one of the local authorities. It amazed me how many folk spent their entire day just 'surfing' the net. I
couldn't stand it, so left.
It's Evolution Baby!
