Re: SVXWN on Facebook

I am getting a bunch of pushback on this issue and people asking why, when there is another SVX World Network Facebook site.

Answers:
1. The other site was not created by the Administrative staff/Officers of the SVX World Network and thusly, no one sent me an invite, and I had no knowledge of its existence.
2. Since I have no admin privileges there or passwords, I cannot "grant" the newest version of the SVXWN forums software the rights and password to tie in links between the two sites.
3. Also related to #2, I cannot post outage information on the Facebook side on a site I have no passwords or invite when the actual forums are taken down for maintenance or other broken reasons. I wanted a second place people could easily get to if the forums did not come up to at least see that the site being down has been acknowledged by administrators and updates on its return to service. Honestly, whats easier than typing www.facebook.com/SVXWN

Does this help?

If I continue to get push back about bad idea, then there really is not much need to upgrade the forums software as the only MAIN improvements are ties to social media to promote special circumstances and events.

Continued opinions are still desired, pro and con. If these added features are not wanted, I would like to know as soon as possible because any of the other security flaws with the forums software hsa already been addressed and fighting to update more would be a waste of time.
