Facebook and Arena tied together?

[phoenixsoul85]

So I am loving that we can post on Facebook.  Is it in the works to have those posts count towards our numbers in this forum?  Also, with trades and purchases that are started on Facebook how do we get credit for those transactions?

I am going to bump this over to Site Support for you.

well dang. I seem to be the ONLY person in the world who doesn't have a facebook.... so I guess I wont be able to enjoy any features that are on the facebook arena.

Although I will say doesn't that take away from the site as a forum itself?

Thanks Cat for moving my post!

The Facebook part doesn't take away from the main forum.  If anything it makes it easier to connect on the go.


Also, Cat thank you for supporting LOVE in Ohio.  I am hoping to marry my partner of 6 years soon.

The Arena FB page was created by a member, not staff, and so it's more of a semi-official page instead of an official one. Also, I have no idea of any software that can count your FB posts and add them to a forum. Finally, and this is just my personal opinion, I'd rather encourage activity here on the Arena as opposed to FB.

What SDS said. FB and arena pages are separate things and are not actually tied together. Posts over there are not part of the arena and neither are sales. You don't get credit for those here.

I prefer the Arena over the fb page. The fb page is mostly full of people selling stuff. The Arena is definitely more a community, and feels safer. Just my two cents.

Also, there is an app for the Arena. I access the Arena on my phone via the Tapatalk app.

I am so with you on that last part The FB page is fun but the Arena is where its at

As for feedback, this has been raised in the past and it is quite strict that feedback on the Arena is for Arena based transactions only and not for transactions which happened on the FB page or any other website.
