    Well, not sure if I have enough time at the time being, nor experience to start the thing up. Would be happy to help out though :)

    You'd only need an email address for a FB account with a link to the forum, maybe there is a way of disabling the leaving of messages so that you wouldn't have anything to moderate.
    WW2Talk would get 'liked' (hopefully) by others with WW2 as an interest?

    I made a WW2Talk Friendface group.
    Not 100% sure what I'll do with it, but even if just another feed into here it'll have it's uses.
    A thread link a day is current thought.

    'Recce' is such an unusual first name. :)

    Never set up a Facebook 'page' before (well, one that wasn't just trolling and eventually neglected :unsure: ). Lord they're pushy about trying to get you to install apps and do paid promotion when they think you're an organisation ~ anyone would think they were a vast advertising network...

    Post reach is interesting though. C.60 members and a potential audience of 400+ via shares etc Not yet sue how it's calculated, but could be a decent way of encouraging a few more bods to join

    I'm currently posting random 8th May WW2 war diary entries from units serving all around the world on the forums Facebook page. One entry shows a unit discovering a secret weapon on VE Day and another from the Far East shows they were promised a beer each.....They never got it!

    If you've not liked the page before but are on Facebook now would be a good time :)

    has anyone joined the forum via the FB page or is it just a waste of time ?


    Andy , wasn't the idea of the ww2talk facebook page to promote this forum rather than lots of other ww2 related FB pages.

    which should lead other facebook users to this forum , not look at other websites.
    I thought we set it up as an advert to give us a higher profile not every other ww2 website out there.

    EDIT:

    I messed up my previous calculation. They're only losing $2,663 a second.
    That's a lot less than I expected and way less than a lot of Wall Street systems.
