The idea of a Myspace or Facebook page has been discussed in the past by the owner and admins of CRF. We feel that having a fan page on either site would be counterproductive because we would have to use such strict privacy settings and disabling any discussion, to prevent others from spamming the pages. A Myspace or Facebook fan page will only drive a limited amount of visitors to the actual forum with no guarantees of receiving anything more than spam from these visitors. Any of you who have Myspace/Facebook pages are well aware of how much spam comments can show up in your pages!
Maintaining a fan page on either site takes a dedicated person to monitor the comments and keep the page fresh. As you all may or may not know, the admins and moderators on CRF are here strictly as volunteers, and it is not fair to add to the duties of the staff to maintain a fan page. A fan page would take that person who is chosen to maintaining a Facebook/Myspace page away from the forum, needlessly.
A better means of advertising for the forum can be obtained by any member who currently has a Myspace or Facebook page that wouldn't mind adding an advertising banner for CRF to their page.
I do appreciate any ideas that members come up with, and I like the fact that you post these ideas for discussion. This tells me you really like CRF and want to see it grow and flourish
