I'd opt out of anything on Facebook, because it's TMI for the peeps out in Facebook land, but that's just me. I could read and just not post, and then it shouldn't show up in my "news".

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

We do have a Buffistas group on Facebook, already. I don't think we've really used it for much of anything. I don't know what kind of privacy controls we can put on it, but if we can make it for members only, that would reduce having half the world show up in it.

I don't think the Facebook idea is a good one. After all it's a social networking site which means our chances of having non-Buffistas show at the event would be higher.
Having it be members-only may seem like a nice option, but that assumes that everyone attending has a Facebook account. I don't.
Is there some way to just use a corner of b.org for this?

I have a domain that I bought on impulse in the great sale of aught-eight that I've yet to find two minutes to do anything with. Happy to hand it over for the duration if hosting is needed.

Heh. Because b.org is so stealthy and not open to the public.

Yes, it is open to the public, but going on Facebook will open us up to MORE public. And it being a social networking site makes unwelcome attention far higher than anything said or done here.

What Pete said. I do not like the idea of going on Facebook for this.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Fair point. Because then we might have random blokes showing up in the Hospitality Suite and assuring us that it's cool, and they're with "Deb's people". And everyone would look at him blankly, and be all "...but, we are Deb's people." And then Peeves would have to LOOM.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I only want there not to be a Facebook site so I don't have to join Facebook. My nephew has a band on Myspace and I still haven't joined that evil cult.

In this, Laga is me. Although I don't think my nephew has a band.
