Looks like we can do the multiple admin.....

A Page can have multiple administrators. Each Page administrator will need to have their own business account or personal account. Every admin can manage the Page from their own Facebook account using the "Page Manager" application that will appear in the left hand column of the Applications section once they become an admin for a Page. Every admin has equal access to and the same abilities as the other admins for a Page.

I think it will still need just one person to create the group though and you have previous experience if you would like the honor? I'm happy to sort it if not though bud.

Looking further into it I think a PAGE is going to be better than a GROUP......


How are Pages different from groups? Which one should I create?
Pages allow real organizations, businesses, celebrities and brands to communicate broadly with people who like them. Pages may only be created and managed by official representatives.

Groups provide a closed space for small groups of people to communicate about shared interests. Groups can be created by anyone.


It looks like with Groups you have to invite people and then they have access to the site? Where as with a Page you set it up and people can join. Surely it ain't gonna be used for discussions etc as thats going to take away from the forum I think?

Whats your take on it?

As I've already said, in my opinion, a Page is not as good as a Group, as you can't see who else has clicked the Like button, whereas you can bring up a list of the other members on a Group page that has a Join button. The r32oc forum has a Page and it's really irritating not being able to see who else has clicked the Like button!

If the option is there on a Page to have all the Likers visible to the others then go for it, otherwise I can't see the point.

I think Boothy had a good point though with the discussion issue.

Do we want major discussion topics on facebook?

It is done!

http://www.facebook.com/groups/145142192235658/

If you want to join its invite only unless its deemed too much hard work keeping up or people moan.

I say invite, you click to join and myself or Boothy ok it so maybe drop us a PM with your name and either me or Boothy will do so.

I am not sure that it is going to work so lets see how it goes.

Feedback mucho welcome.

SteveP what would you rather.

to have discussions on the FB group you will loose traffic from this site....

I tend to use our facebook page as a way of promoting the site with news which contains links to the forum, that way your showing people whats happening and where they can find the information...

to set up a group and have discussions within that group you may as well close the forum and run the group only as your taking away good content and activity from this place and using the social platform...

not sure why its a locked group also? surely you'd want to promote the site openly rather than in secret to gain new members...
