CSC Facebook Page

[Lods]

I have just gone on to FB and searched both 'CSC' & 'Carlton Supporters Club' and no page was forthcoming, however, around 8-9 other fan pages came up. 

To that end, is a FB page going to get lost in the plethora of other options already in existence. 

Is the existence of too many FB pages actually an opportunity to gather lapsed posters to a 'merged entity' and then in turn, over to here ??

I use Bing as my search engine
CSC is the first thing that comes up when I  type in Carlton supporters
But as someone mentioned before that may have something to do with the way the search engine gathers information. As I use this site a lot so it shows up for me but maybe not so much others..
Interestingly this topic on CSC shows up on the second page of my Bing search.

On facebook try entering just "Carlton  Supporters".
Once again it might be the algorithm ...but it's second on the list for me.

I typed "Carlton supporters" into facebook and this one came up as 13th!

Hi Guys, just an update on the fb group.

There’s been pretty limited interaction and even though some old csc posters are fb members they for their own reasons don’t seem to be contributing on fb or back here as yet.

I’ve decided to “pause” our fb group and restart another group.
This new group will have a “public” profile, which I’m hoping will increase our profile/search/viewability within the fb community.
I believe the main difference between the two group settings is that the public setting allows non group members to read comments and see who the author is… of course individual fb members can choose their own privacy levels should they wish.

CSC forum posters should remember that they can join and interact with the fb group without divulging their CSC Username and for that matter could create a fb profile with their CSC username to post in the csc fb group if that was their want… ?

*Edit:
Just to clarify, the purpose of the fb group is to direct people back to the CSC Forum.
Comment within the fb group is welcome but the CSC forum allows greater depth imho.

Cheers

Folks
The idea of the facebook page is to encourage an increase in membership here in the main forum.
It's also a pretty useful back-up should the forum encounter some issues.
If people feel comfortable they should at least register.
As NB points out you can create a profile that doesn't identify you.
A one line comment here or there won't impact on the forum's traffic but may spark the interest of some newbies who will then gravitate to the main forum.
It's now an open public forum and an increase in participation may have an impact on the 'search' aspect.

Something that will help grow the visibility of the fb group is joining/following, even a simple like helps.
If you see a breaking story or something of interest you can share it to the group too.

I don't know if others are experiencing the same glitches I am with the site this morning (nothing major just a few freezes) but just a reminder that if the site does go down at any stage we have the back up 'facebook' page to keep folks as informed as we can.

Even if you don't wish to engage it might still be handy to bookmark the page.

If those who use Facebook were to “like” the site it would help it to increase its “street appeal” and  reach and that may bring some more posters here.
There is some discussion there but mainly links to pre and postgame threads. 

Also as Lods has noted, should there be issues with this place it is somewhere we can make announcements.
