I'm all for them adding it, I just wouldn't use it.

But then again, they did this with Digg before and didnt go through with it for some reason.

We're site banned on digg, DB Zeta's bad. *puts hand up*

I definitely disagree with this, I see no reason to punish people for not wanting to interact with Facebook. Not to mention it creates extra work for the moderators where there doesn't need to be extra work.

It's not going to hurt anything more than it was not having them in the first place.

Exactly so it wont hurt them having the link there, so where is the problem.

On the bright side, people that hide the facebook thing are probably posting things not worth linking to on facebook anyways.

Edit: How'd BYOND manage to get site banned on Digg?

Face it man, It's you vs the whole BYOND community.

Such an action would hurt BYOND more than "Encourage it's growth" seeing as people would likely begin to protest by not purchasing / renewing a membership, Not advertising BYOND, and in a stretch, leave BYOND in it's entirety.

Besides, BYOND did great without the FB sharing, and adding it still improves, but if some people such as myself disable it, then it would be the same as before the update.

And don't give me any "That's preventing BYOND's growth" shit either. Some people such as yourself and many others have it enabled which can still be used to spread word of BYOND. And isn't like nobody is joining the FB group.

Seriously. Think things out BEFORE you post your ideas.

Try this on for size.

You have yet to provide a rational reason other than 1) not wanting to have any of your blog posts public, and 2) maliciously wanting reduced traffic on BYOND.

Why would you even care if you are front page banned? You have zero regard for BYOND's business goals, and are overtly and purposefully engaging in behavior detrimental to those long term goals.

If you decide to leave BYOND over a those reasons, you should never have purchased a membership in the first place. Besides, why does BYOND want members like you who maliciously wish its demise?

Alright this guy's pissing me off. .

How the HELL am I "Maliciously wishing it's demise?"

I disabled a freaking button, who cares?
You sir are trying to make sense of something that is senseless, stupid, and ignorant.

If I was wishing byond's demise, I would have:

1. Not bought a membership.
2. Not be active.
3. Not be a developer.

Seriously, People like you who try to get attention by coming up with stupid, pointless shit annoy the hell out of me.

Maybe I:

1. Don't like Facebook?
2. Prefer to keep my blogs to the BYOND community in anyway I can?
3. Keep my internet and Real life seperate?

Seriously, You're speaking out of ignorance.

It scares me, seeing that most of the Anime players have facial hair.

Also, if I choose to disable the button, it'll be for aesthetics also. At least until I make a cool glass version.

I'd spin that around, Zxcvdnm. Those who are disabling their links have their panties in a bunch because they wrongly assume they are entitled to what Bootyboy suggests removing. The idea is probably not worth the trouble of implementing, but there's nothing radical about it.

It's perfectly fine to have content that you don't think is worth sharing. I imagine the CSS option is there for a reason. So is the checkbox to prevent one's own content from being displayed on the front page. (Frell, why not suggest removing the CSS option and adding links to the checkbox, Bootyboy?)

Just understand that the purpose of the front page is to advertise BYOND's activity to non-members. Members can subscribe to blogs and refer to their home pages.

i'm not really quite sure what the point of your whole comment is. i'm guessing you're saying i'm wrong or something. my point is, i can just keep my $18 next january if its that big of an issue. if byond is so pissed at the fact that i squandered the "_POTENTIAL_ that my page could be linked," as bootyboy put it, i'm not sure its a company i care to support anyway. the majority of members will probably keep the link, so why are you complaining? and you forget, the only people wasting front page space on this issue are the ones that want people to quit hiding the button, so no, i'd spin that back around. you guys are the ones with your panties in a bunch. ;p
