Yep. :D

(Should add a bit more really. :))

I've got the main FD page on there and for now there's not been a lot of activity that I've noticed so I voted I sometimes visit during major updates.

But the Elitegame page is much more active.:cool:
 
Scratch that, re-read the poll.


P.s. Welcome Mark :)

p.p.s
No my initial reaction was correct.
I do go on facebook from time to time. I do not look at FD's facebook page. I get my info from all over the shop not just the forums (e.g. most official info I glean from the newsletters and dev diaries).

Gaming is like having a mistress, you keep it quiet and don't publicise the fact you have one ;)

However in this instance I do look at the site and like parts as appropriate :)

Though I do use the forum WAY more than I look at the FB pages.

I have Facebook but haven't subscribed to the Elite page. I tend to visit the forum regularly, so get everything I need to know from here.
 
I'm not active at all, I consider faecesbook a blight on the net and will never create an account. ..yes, even for Elite :eek:
 
I've gone onto it from time to time and even liked the page,but nothing major seems to get posted on it. I try and get the stuff I need from frontier studios from the tinternet, namely artwork that doesn't get posted on facebook or the forums.
 
Subscribed to the FB page, however I don't go there (Items will appear in the newsfeed)

I do get 90% of my info from this forum though.
 
So long as I get an email for important events (i.e. a new release), I don't care about the detail. facebook is leaky, I read maybe 5% of what gets posted there (same with twitter). Not good for announcements.
 
I use facebook every day to stalk my minions and receive pictures of cats, and peoples food, and skateboard accident vids.

I don't have any companies or groups on my feed, as post from commercial pages generally comes across as spam, even if there is actual news content in it.

"Look! Look! We changed the colour of our webpage! Want to buy some stuff?"
 
I deleted my facebook account - the way facebook chooses to handle my data (especially in their official mobile apps!), and the sheer stigma of their user interface clutter.. it's just too much. The over-agressive marketing/advertspamming they do just pushed it all way over the top for me, so I bailed out. So, subsequently, I don't use any facebook pages whatsoever.


...
I do use twitter though.
 
I tend to keep FaceBook for friends and family only, and didn't even realise there was a page for ED. I use other channels for following non-person things I'm interested in.
 
Have used it from time to time and attempted to keep people's question answered, seems the people that frequent it are not so active here.

Which would make sense.
