Title: Facebook?


Sardine - February 17, 2008 09:22 AM (GMT)
Just wondering who has an account?

I would go adding all you's that have an account, but the pc I'm using is super-slow, and my dad has the laptop, but he's in England, sooo... Yeah.
I have Facebook. Do you?

Maybe we could create a LC Fourm Facebook group? Get more members and stuff (ha, says me).

Just a thought.

I have an account.

I think that's a good idea. We could also go to other HP groups and try and recruit members.

Excellent idea. I know lots of fan sites that have facebook groups, myspace and stuff like that. I have facebook too. But you all will have to educate me about the other HP groups that have them. I suppose I could search but...yeah. Excellent idea. I'd love to start a facebook for us.

I sent you a PM concerning this ages ago, Rouge, and I didn't get any response.

For some reason people can't add, me, so I have to add them. What are your names on Facebook?

merlins_pants - February 18, 2008 06:56 PM (GMT)
I'm going to PM you with mine, Sardine. I'd rather not have my real name up here.

Sardine - February 19, 2008 07:06 PM (GMT)
Sure thing, MP.

Not to put a damper on things, but there are some serious issues about data mining and identity theft with Facebook.

According to the Wikipedia entry about Facebook (see Section 10: Privacy), Facebook claims the right to supplement a user's info with info from other sources, as well as the right to give or sell that info to other parties. Also, even if you cancel your account, Facebook can keep your info on their servers indefinitely. I think that's a bit disturbing.

Perhaps there are other sites that would be safer, but I don't know.

Sardine - February 22, 2008 09:00 PM (GMT)
I haven't had any problems. Neither have my friends (that being said, I probably will have problems).
*shrugs*I've been there for a while, so it's a bit late now.

Mark_EmmaWatsonFan - February 23, 2008 04:11 AM (GMT)
ok for almost three years not and ive never had a problem.
Has this group been created? cos i searched for 'The leaky Cauldron' but i didnt find much. maybe im looking in the wrong place?

doratheauror - February 23, 2008 04:31 AM (GMT)
Same here, I've been using it for a while now and I don't have any problems, if you put your profile on private so that only your friends can see it, then you shouldn't really have any problems. and if you add people who aren't your friends well then you do it at your own risk. Plus you don't have to put anything in your profile if you don't want.

Sardine - February 23, 2008 08:44 AM (GMT)
No Mark, a group hasn't been created. I don't know where Rouge is. And I think that he should create it seeing as it is for his forum.

Professor Rogue - February 23, 2008 09:47 AM (GMT)
I'm right here Sardine, always will be. :) I'd love to creat it, but I'm not sure how.

Sardine - February 23, 2008 06:22 PM (GMT)
Do you have an account there?

If so, on the left hand side you'll see a panel with "Search, Friends, Groups etc". Click on the "Groups" link, and you'll be taken to a page. I forget what said page looks like, but you'll be able to start a group from there.

And what is your name on Facebook?

Shonk Da 'Onk - February 24, 2008 04:09 AM (GMT)
i have accounts on all those type places, myspace, netlog the lot . . . nvr used 'em though :lol: don't see the point. my friends only use them for stalking and abusing people they think are pedo's and for starting wars with emo's. they're easily amused methinks

Sardine - February 24, 2008 07:13 AM (GMT)
Riiiight...
My friends and I do that at school :P

How's that twitch, Shonk?

Ankaa - May 14, 2008 05:26 PM (GMT)
Does anyone know if this ever got set up?

Sardine - May 14, 2008 05:54 PM (GMT)
It didn't :(

Ankaa - May 14, 2008 06:24 PM (GMT)
Oh well, I guess we're juststuck on here then :P

~Twylie_Wylie~ - May 16, 2008 08:15 AM (GMT)
I think that is a wonderful idea and we should also do that on Bebo to as there may be people on there.I am on there and I can be like the bebo recruiter I can go to all the Harry Potter groups and tell them about it I already told 1 person the other day

Professor Rogue - May 16, 2008 09:07 AM (GMT)
Sounds good to me. Okay I'll set it up but what do you want our group name to be?

~Twylie_Wylie~ - May 17, 2008 12:12 AM (GMT)
?????? Leaky Lovers!!!!!!Should I make one up on Bebo or is there somebody else on there?

Ginny_potter - May 17, 2008 09:38 AM (GMT)
guysss add me of facebook if u have it i just got it! :D LINKY

Sardine - May 18, 2008 12:44 PM (GMT)
The Leaky Cauldron forums?

Ankaa - May 19, 2008 04:22 PM (GMT)
I think it should be something that stands out to be obviously 'us'. There must be loads of HP groups and what have you on there already. I suggest Rogue's Leaky Cauldron

Professor Rogue - May 20, 2008 06:58 AM (GMT)
Okay we have three suggestions, I do agree with Ankaa about it standing out. So keep the suggestions on.

Suggestions So Far:

Leaky Lovers
Leaky Cauldron Forums
Rogue's Leaky Cauldron
