As a long term holdout, reluctant to embrace Facebook, we have decided to give it a try to see if turns out to be useful. We most definitely will use is to communicate to users should the site be unavailable for any reason.
Give us a like right here RedHotPawn.com on Facebook. We have added a link to the page footer too under support.

Why didn't you ask first? Please canvass your subscribers more proactively. What does embrace facebook mean? I'm giving it a don't like thumbs down, and will probably let my sub expire. Is there no safe place?

I am also not a facebook subscriber though I am a member of LinkedIn!
I use LinkedIn because of my professional connections in Strategic Finance all over North America (San Francisco, New York and Iowa, USA), Asia (Manila, Philippines & Chang Mai, Thailand), Europe (London, UK and Copenhagen, Denmark) and Pert, Australia!
Thanks,

No data will be "shared" with Facebook (unless initiated by the user), so just look at it as RHP having a "presence" on Facebook.
We may do some integration, but this is not going to be a process of adding features that would otherwise not be available on the main site.
There is absolutely no reason why you should sign up to Facebook to use the RHP page, but if you have an account and you use Facebook already, and the reality is now that most people active on the web do, then please give us a like.

It's like, well, it's like what's on the telly as I write this: party conferences. Lots of people pretending to be important and using the in-crowd words of today, very little real content.

Feel free to post messages to facebook or whatever tomorrow's hip, dudelicious site will be - you won't be finding me there. I'll be here, actually playing chess on a chess site.

Ok, lets get this clear. No data is going to Facebook. The Facebook page is just a RHP "presence" on Facebook. It is a page on Facebook, about RHP. Nothing more.
If in future there is an option to link an account from here to Facebook, then that will be discussed at the time, but this will be something initiated by the individual.
