Dear SI,

I would like to put forward a suggestion that you open a facebook page for SI. I am sure this has been discussed before but I would just like to put forward my support for the idea.

I think it will make the members of this website more active. I know you already run a Twitter account that updates every time you post a new news item but I think FB will allow users to ask questions and get answers easier, get clans together for online games (End of Nations, BF3, MW3, etc) and advertise the website more.

Obviously I know it will be a bit more work but believe it will most certainly bring benefits. Even if its only for members to game more together.

Thanks :D

I think that this is a great idea. It could be like an upgrade for SI. You should speak to Kres and herodotus about this.

Great way of inviting friends and others who might be interested and/or don't yet know this, THE premier gaming website.

If we open a page on FB...people would tend to use that page more than the site itself. I don't know...its a very good idea but I'm also afraid that it may end up being counterproductive.

I see your point hunter. I would suggest it be used just as an advertisement tool. News stories wouldn't be posted there but an update with a link to the site would. Events could be created for online games for fun.

If si itself does not want one that is fine.

Links to SI Competitions, Reviews, Gamewatcher store...
Updates can be uploaded for commenting, or one or two headlining news items, and even some videos. Links would send folk straight to SI's site so I don't feel we would lose members but gain them.
Will keep you all updated.

I agree, if this is done right, we will attract more viewers/members rather than loosing them.

The idea in any event for the page would be to advertise SI, and not let the page become SI. I am positive that this could work. SI needs to be advertised on the public systems, not just Google.

Thanks for the idea guys! We had the idea of course, but were waiting for the new design to be made. But, we've gone ahead and opened it http://www.facebook.com/pages/Strategy-Informer/210045052389190?sk=wall

We however need to set things up and get it updated. That will most likely need to wait for the new design. Don't want to give any more dates of its release, but eh, soon I hope.
