Here we go. The move to FACEBOOK happens today. So get moved over. This link, the community link on the site, will push to FACEBOOK sometime today. Request membership in the group and we will approve right away. It has been fun here, but we have outgrown this tech. Since the day I launched the COMMUNITY tab on the website, I have been watching this place grow and thrive. It has been very fun. But I know that the problems and errors here are too much to handle. So we depart for a new system. I know that some of you might not like Facebook. But the decision we made at BTD was already in the works about 6 months ago. We decided and then made the plans to move. Some of you knew earlier than others, because I was in direct contact with you at events like the HollyShorts Festival. But the decision was strictly mine, so don't blame SantaFe Fan or Sunfell for the move. Credit them with offering to help facilitate the move and make it easy for us to find this new home. When I built this site, I chose the word "Community" for the tab over a lot of other options. One was Fan Club, which seemed a little immature. One was "Forum" which seemed a little too techie. Naming this area "Community" was exactly what Zach and I discussed for the site. It was part of the plan to bring people together. That is a mission that Zach liked from the beginning. I want to say "Thank You" to Sunfell and Fenraven, who came on a few months into the Community launch to help me to moderate the site. I couldn't be here as often as I needed to be, and they helped to keep an eye out for problems. And there were a couple, but nothing major. As a matter of fact, the people on this site have been respectful and kind, supportive of each other and Zach, and interested in building something together. And I think that we can take that feeling to the new home on Facebook. The tech on that side... well... it doesn't let us use special screen names. But it is private, so people who aren't members aren't seeing what you post and share. I hope that you all feel comfortable being yourselves (or the selves that you are when you know that everyone in your facebook friend list isn's seeing everything you post). Use the new tech to bring people together. Use the site to plan to meet in real life, to get together in support of any commonalities you have, even beyond Zach. There is something about Zach and his character that brings you all here. It is something you all share. So I will leave the lights on here for a little bit more... but later today, this page will disappear. And I will see you on Facebook. Take care. Sean PS. Fen... If you really do choose not to join us, because of your hatred of Facebook, then I wish you the best. The choice was made without knowing that you (or anyone else here) were so anti-facebook. But even now, I would still choose the same system. It isn't a personal decision, but a logical one. It is the best place for building what we have grown and outgrown here. It is the only system that is capable of taking us to the next level, with freedoms and security that other sites don't have. And it is a place where most people already spend time, so this can enhance their experience. Ning and other social network wanna-bes aren't strong enough to run without good management. And the costs become problematic. We don't make money from running the site and don't plan to spend money to run it. Looking at systems that would cost $100 a month just to allow us to post animated gifs... silly. Again, Fen, thank you for your help in developing this community. And I hope that you change your mind and join us. You know where to find us.
