So.. Why do we have a facebook page?

[Steely]

Facebook

www.facebook.com

I won't even explain why this is such a horribly bad idea, as I know the vast majority of everyone here can already understand why it needs to be taken down.

For those of you who do not have a, Facebook page, it is a link leading to a public (compared to private), "group" who's 15 person fan base shows open support toward this website.

It's not me.

So I guess someone loved the idea of having this site on facebook.


Kind regards,

The Traveler

I do agree. Horrible idea. Given the nature of our community real identities should never be given. I doubt the traveler okayed it though. We've got a rougue nexian on our hands.

Whatttt????

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see no problem with the group itself unless the administrator pretends to represent DMT-Nexus, but it is a problem that these individuals expose their identity in public. Oh well, it is perhaps only a problem for these 15 people. They should really know better. Evolution is a bitch...

You guys work fast Goood! only mentioned it a few mins ago hehehe come on who did this mad people....

Though the page does not openly link to this website, it is in this day and age that we find ourselves using, "Google it" as a normal phrase for researching things.

 

[Dimitrius]

Yeah.....maybe not the best idea.

 

[d*l*b]

Grrrrrr. Why? Why? Why?

What is it with Facebook fan pages? Why does anyone need to be a fan of the Nexus on Facebook? What does it achieve? As if fan pages weren’t annoying enough already...

 

[Adivino]

I though it was a philosophical (or introspective) question about why we succumbed to narcissism and created a Facebook account...

but yeah I think it's best to keep a low profile.

I agree with the sentiment that social networking is not the place for this kind of subject and I dont like dmt-nexus being there.

IMHO social networking breeds superficial communication, calls negative attention and is a source for data-mining from authorities.

If whoever made that page reads this: I would suggest taking any reference to dmt-nexus out of facebook, like removing this whole 'fan page' (is that even possible? I dont know how facebook works)

 

[damiana]

Yea, bad idea.

 

[Adivino]

There's always the possibility of reporting the group to Facebook so that they remove it... I don't think it's a good idea either, you could ask Streisand ( Streisand effect - Wikipedia ).

 

[Blundering_Novice]

I agree. This is ill-conceived and all-around bad mojo....

 

[DimethylSpice]

wow. i cant believe what i am seeing!

i hope whoever did that see's this and deletes that quickly.

what an idiot. there is always someone who ruins it for everyone else it seems.

Those who join the group there should know the possible implications of their actions. I am not opposed to this community to having a facebook presence but I think the name of the group there should be something a little more obscure like psychonauts or hyperspace explorers league something that does not directly indicate spice. Even here there are a few people myself included that dont do spice. We are here for the philosophical and intellectual aspects of the forum.

Facebook is dangerous for many many reasons. I dont use my true name on there simply to keep people from finding me unless I want them to find me. Allot of people have lost jobs because of their facebook page. Imagine if a school or job found out about you messing with spice.

 

[DMTripper]

I wonder how old this is. There are only 15 people there so I wouldn't worry too much about this. But anyways. Very stupid idea. Some people just can't keep a low profile. Some people just don't love anything more than attention Wouldn't be surprised if the one making this page has never smoked DMT.

 

[Bill Cipher]

Yeah, I have to agree with the general consensus - and while I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I think it's a pretty bad idea.

To whoever created the user group - would you consider pulling it down for the greater good of the overall community?

 

[ohayoco]

Someone please put up a link, I want to look at the page's fans! Are they all schoolboys? Plus one crazy old hippy who lives in a bucket? :lol:

 

[clouds]

I did not create the facebook group (in case anyone is suspecting about me).
I think Facebook if total crap and I think that it is highly probable that one of the 15 "friends/fans" may have done it.

I suggest that someone with free time and a Facebook account submerges in this particular network to investigate this.
Other than that... I wouldn't know what to do since I don't have a Facebook Account.
