Or longer: Most pathetic site ever, boring, uninspired, largely useless and encourages bad behaviour regarding handling your privacy. Plus, the guys running Facebook are assholes.

However that is only my personal opinion and if the majority of the OpenMW community thinks that having a Facebook page is a good idea, then I won't try to block it.

@raevol: You definitely are an official representative for OpenMW.

I had a very bad experience with fb and highly reccomend not using fb for advertising unless it's just for pictures. (which they may delete anyways cuz their assholes) ^^ We should make a poll on whether the majority wants this or not.

I don't use Facebook really, and when I do I don't give them any extra things to mine data from, like groups.

I could post news and updates on there, and people can easily share the project around with each other. I kind of doubt it'd attract any developers, as anyone hardcore enough to contribute code to a project like this probably sees no benefit to having a facebook page, but it'd potentially generate word of mouth/fan interest.
