I'm making a Casual Discourse page on Facebook.

For anyone familiar with the "John Smith became a fan of XYZ" aspect of Facebook, you'll understand what I'm doing. The page is unpublished currently, because I'd like to get it looking at least moderately active first.

Please post any photos ITT that you'd like to see added to the page. They can be old LWS jokes or images created just for CD. I also really need a main page photo - I'm planning currently to just use a larger image of the Anonymous account's avatar (http://www.jaunted.com/files/3873/panda.jpg), but only because CD has no logo and I can't think of anything else.

Suggestions for the "mission" section of the page are also welcome (it currently reads: "for great internets" due to my lack of creativity).

Hopefully everyone on CD who Facebooks will join the group and perhaps even generate some interest from their friends. :pppurr:

I'll join up as soon as I can, and probably start using facebook because of it.

Mission: move up the mg

Well. I was hoping we could have an actual, official page with updates that could be arranged here on the website first, but if you guys would rather just use that one, okay. It doesn't seem to be very active, though.

Let me know, I guess.

Well if you could come up with something better that would be great, but that page would work for now.

sole i am counting on you here

I'm asking that everyone comes up with something better, collectively, so that the page actually represents this website instead of being a disorganized blip on the radar that receives little or no updates. I want it to be used as an advertising tool that brings in the kind of people we want to see at CD, rather than a simple Facebook circlejerk for already established members.

It isn't about what I am personally capable of, it's about what the actual members of the site could bring to the effort.

I support this idea.

I support this idea.

Solecistic, if you want I can design a logo for CD.

it is not very active, i shall not get in the way of any grand designs you have.

guys i love this site, and i enjoy spending time here, but it is against my principles to mix internet and real life

i won't join, but i'll contribute in whatever other ways i can

I'd like to contribute as long as it requires no knowledge of how facebook works, because I have none.

Well I think the old site looks just fine, as meh as Facebook usually is. Okay, not really, it was just the first group I saw that had CD attached to it. A new site would be banging though.

Totally understandable. What I'm really hoping is for a dash of that viral Facebook status update magic - it won't require the participation of everyone when it comes to actually adding it to their profiles. It's really just going to be a living advertisement, to tell you the truth - so content and media contributions are probably even more helpful than the actual "adds", especially since I think there are enough unashamed CD users to fulfill that part of the deal.

In other words, if you're too scared to link to CD on your Facebook, try writing a silly, entertaining article about CD that can be posted there instead, or helping to compile CD/LWS meme images from your "retarded internet shit" folders, etc.

:heart:

i posted all the images i have itt:

and there's a few more itt:

Stop fucking requesting. I didn't approve two months ago, I didn't approve last month, and I'm not going to approve this month.

Yeah, I'll join, but to a select few will I actually accept.

Okay tards stop posting itt about whether or not you'll join, you can do that later.

Posts now should be suggestions for the page itself or gtfo

I don't know much about facebook, so forgive me if this sounds stupid, but is it possible to have a pink panda theme on the page?

:solepoke:

also a midi file of the song about ping pong playing while on the page


has to be a midi

Actual themes don't seem to be possible, in terms of color scheme and all that. It's really just limited to posting photos and videos and having a "wall" where members (or guests, if allowed) may post comments. There is also a mini-forum where people can post threads that are usually about stupid, irrelevant things.

So. I'm not going to publish the page until I get at least some material to throw up there. :soledance:

Oh, well can I provide some pictures of pandas to go on the page?

Not unless they have CD-relevant text plastered across them.

Make it again with a clearer font and take out the "yarly" and I LOVE IT

I like this one, but other than the yarly it may present the same problem as the first.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...12455013-2.jpg
This one seems easier to read, but it also seems a little bit boring to me.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...12455013-3.jpg

The first one didn't look right with the bottom being empty imo, which is why I added the yarly. Looking back on it all it should have been in the other corner anyway though.

(I'm not good at this in case you guys didn't notice.)
Here's the original if anyone wants to put one together of any quality.

like maybe a more solid font that still isn't comic sans?

Why the fuck do we need a facebook group?

If you're just trolling, get the fuck out. If you really don't understand the concept, you might need to head back to seventh grade for reading comprehension - because it's all been said ITT.

Yes.

The best reason for having a facebook group is so you can tell everyone in it that CD is back after Tengu forgets to make backups.

I mean this fan page thing... well fair enough.

Presumably the reason the facebook group isn't active is because people come here to post, but idk

Fuck Facebook man.
Fuck Myspace man.
Fuck bebo man.

Right. I get the impression that that group was started to be a social thing. What I'm wanting to do is more like an interactive advertisement. I want people posting socially here, and having CD listed on their profiles as something they're fans of. It's quite a different deal.

you know, this might be the beginning of the end.
there are lots of emos on facebook.

there's a lot of people with five thousand fucking applications on facebook

mostly faggoty high schoolers

yeah.
do we really want those faggots here on cd?

i have a bad feeling this will have the same end result as zoints
a waste of time and lots more faggots on the site.

Okay well it doesn't matter what I do, someone is going to think it's gay/a waste of time/the beginning of the end. It's better than doing nothing.

I promise that if any emos or retards show up I will ban them. I am not trying to get numbers for $$. Hopefully people who post at CD have friends who are at least kind of cool, so maybe they will join and maybe this is all a huge stupid gay waste of time but if even one cool person signs up that would be neat.

God forbid that someone try to get some traffic to this site.

Traffic for the site is good, just not lots of emos again.

Facebook really isn't an emo thing. Also, CD has no appeal for emos. There's no WoE.

This is true. Myspace is still the emo fgt site of choice

I have never seen an emo on facebook. Well maybe one or 2 but I don't remember them and they definitely weren't hardcore myspace emo.

That's because they can put a "cut me, kill me xoxoxoxo </3 lolololol" theme on their facebook.

Also, here is something to whet your appetite, Solecistic.

YO I TOTALLY WANNA JOIN

Like really, it will make me feel special and you can all see who Absolution is.

alright kt wtf is that

Seriously, what the hell is that?

post modern tetris

Can you have a Romanticist tetris?

I assume so, although it would be a little melodramatic

Instead of falling blocks it'd be falling branches and other objects from the natural world. Then halfway through someone would die and the game would end.

And the sublime and JMW Turner and William Wordsworth.

Leaving you to revel in despair, because you know what, nature.. nature's a fickle bitch.

the natural state of man is suffering

This, of course, does not do Leopardi's (1798-1837) "Dialogue Between Nature and an Icelander" justice but here is where it really gets good.

I don't feel like copying it down so I decided to get it from elsewhere online, unfortunately, they paraphrase it or translate it differently from what I have, but I think the point still comes across.

Quote:

---

Icelander: Now I ask you: Did I ever beg you to place me in this world? Did I intrude into it violently, against your will? But if you put me here without my knowledge or consent, isn't it your duty, if not to keep me happy and content, at least not to taunt and torture me, and let me live in peace? And I say this not only for myself, but for the whole human race, and every living thing.

Nature: Apparently it hasn't occurred to you that life in this universe is a perpetual cycle of production and destruction, so bound together that one is always counteracting, the other, thus preserving the world, which, if either ceased to operate, would likewise dissolve. Therefore if man did not suffer, the world itself might be destroyed.

Icelander: That's the very argument I hear from all philosophers. But since what is destroyed suffers, and what destroys cannot be happy, but is soon destroyed in turn, tell me what no philosopher can tell me: For whose pleasure or profit does this most miserable life of the universe, preserved only at the cost of the dead and suffering of all its component parts, exist?

While they were in the midst of debating these and similar problems, the story goes that two lions came upon the scene, so worn out and starved that they hardly had the strength to devour the Icelander, which they nonetheless did, and with all of that nourishment, managed to live through the day. Some deny this, and say that as the Icelander spoke, a great, fierce wind arose, slapping him to the ground and burying him under a majestic pile of sand that dried him up perfectly, turning him into a fine mummy, which was later discovered by a group of travelers and placed in the museum of some town or other in Europe.
