I have far too much other stuff to deal with than join yet another internet community  :-[


Members are free to do as they wish, but we need to be careful against splitting the community here - which is the reason we have always rejected putting a chatroom on here...

I sense The boy fears competition  :y 8-)
;D  Not at all.  Less members here means less work for me  8-)

but isn't good for the omega community  :'(


We have lots of competition on the net - anyone trying to set up a forum of any type will confirm that.  Ideally we want all Omega interested parties in one place (wherever that may be), but that will never happen sadly.


Good luck with the venture :)

If you look at the layout of facebook you will see that it would be very difficult for anything like that to happen ;)

It was never my intension to take members away from this group at all, however i feel everyone has the right to make their own minds up where they wish to share their omega knowledge. i for one will not be moving away from this forum now or in the future and i'm sure all the other members share the same view......... the facebook group is just something else to look at  :y

Personally I think if anything it may well bring more members to the OOF as people link via facebook.

One thing that may be interesting, but in a different way for those members that have a Wi console and group together to play mario kart.  Is that some of the members that work nights or are bored in the office could put there skills up against others on some of the Facebook game links.  

There are some of the old clasic games, scores are rest weekly, could be a bit of fun, even if just for those that choose to have a go in the early hours.

I feel everyone is free to join any group they choose to but for members of two or more groups it will result in a dilution of quality, since your surf time would be split between 2+ groups. This forum is the best of its kind on the planet and i think all members should share/concentrate their knowledge on here because it is first and foremost a site dedicated to maintaing your omega and the chatroom stuff comes second

That's right and I hope they all enjoy themselves :y :y

However Radar, don't worry about the "dilution" factor as believe me anyone over 25 years old will soon realise how childish and pointless being on Face Book is.

I tried it for two years to try and keep in with the young crowd at uni, but you soon get bored of giving and receiving virtual gifts, tedious (to somebody over 30 at least!) teenage chat, problems with boyfriends / girlfriends and their spots, constant invitations to join some group or another, and the new Fb layout has not helped either ::) ::) ::)

For people of mature years one Forum, the magnificent OOF, is quiet enough! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

you don't meet up with old schoolfriends on OOF no matter how cool it is.
      You cannot compare the two.

So whats your gripe as you are totally contradicting yourself to be honest.

And point 2 is most people have no intension of leaving the oof but as you said it's their choice to be members of two or even more groups, plus we have links on our group directing people to this group and hence that can only be a good thing :y :y :y :y
Title: Re: New facebook group for omega owners !!
Post by: AndyVXR300 on 03 April 2009, 20:41:07
Anyway the site is up and running now, and is just a bit of fun, i dont use the normal facebook that often to be honest anyway only to keep in touch with old friends etc.

The Omega Owners Group is just for fun and most of the members are from the OOF anyway and we have no intension of leaving for any other group.......come i'm on OOF daily now and cant get enough :y
