Hello guys!

I think that our big love, IL-2 Sturmovik, should not be out of the Facebook and thus I made the "IL-2 Sturmovik" group.

Needless to say that you are all welcome to post anything you want!
Pictures, discussions, videos...let's flow this place!

That's funny because people would probably have said the same thing about forums 15 years ago ;).

Nah - no funny looks just them backing away slowly without making eye contact

In the city I'm in about 25% of the population has facebook accounts. That said my luddite survival metre is set to agitated by the very concept.

Apparently, even private correspondence posted to the site becomes the property of facebook and it is being used as a powerful market research tool. The U.S. intelligence services are also theoretically involved (shareholders), this last one isn't a bad thing of course - the more info they have on me the less likely they are to get confused and waste time (eg. http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/einstein.htm - You and I may not be famous but I'm sure that twenty minutes wasted from a paranoid could be better spent hunting Jihadist funding channels).

I guess you misunderstood my intentions.
I'm not "for" Facebook that much (I have not even posted a single personal information there), but since it is a fact that millions of people are there and since we're all here supposed to promote our favourite game as much as possible, it is not bad to have a presence there.
Just for those who might search for "IL-2" keywords and happen to not know of our great sim...

I'm for the group. I'm just one of those people who got a case of nerves about the potential of technology round about August 1945

Lol this reminds me of the time when I was sitting at the bus station, listening to music with headphones.

An old man told me

'That's a cd isn't it?'

'Yes' I replied.

'Yes yes, the cd. It's gonna replace the radio!'

Ermmm no.

I some times get the feeling that the 'old man rant' mode gets the better of you guys. :-)

Hmm, you wouldn't go to Facebook to look for IL-2, but if you are already there (which is the case for millions of people), you may do some search to see who shares the same hobby with you.
Actually, I've seen one gazillion "strange" groups, which means that people try to find with whom their interests match at some point.

Anyway, it's not something to argue. Anyone can either join or not join, like Facebook or not like it and so on. It's a free world :)

I solved this problem by donating my salary to my boss.
I work for free and my wife is feeding me :P

Everything solved, plus that my boss loves me and gave me the "employer of the century" award :D
