I didn't see anything about Facebook in the DNS list, so I decided to suggest this myself.

Seeing as how a majority of us are on Facebook, I don't see why we don't have a small sub-section or even a sticky that allows us to share Facebook links with eachother. I feel this would greatly improve our community, with us being able to communicate with other Sythe users through our legitimate Facebooks, thus getting to know the people behind Sythe. I think it would be a cool and interesting way for us to get to know eachother.

I suggest this because..

1: We are not allowed to post links to our Facebooks, as it is an external link and is basically advertising.
2: You could pick and choose who you add, obviously, so if you didn't want people to add you, you shouldn't of posted your Facebook.
3: Great to see the faces behind the users.
4: A majority of people who use Sythe have common interests. If we were to actually talk to eachother as people, and not Sythe users, we could actually form friendships based more around personal discussion.
5: On Sythe, there is plenty of space in the off-topic section for people to get to know eachother and form friendships, I know. But we have rules here. Facebook does not. If we saw what people were actually like, we might be more fond of them, or might be more willing to form friendships/get involved in the community by seeing how other people act in real life, and not when it comes to Runescape/Sythe.

I feel this would be pretty cool to implement. I think it would be cool having Sythe users liking my status's they agree with and checking out what I do on a daily basis. I feel that Sythe isn't broad enough to show who we truely are. I am a fucking video game nerd that blasts deathcore on a daily basis and smokes weed every second of the day, and I tend to post shit alot on Facebook. You wouldn't know that on Sythe, but if you had me added, you would.

I just think this would be an interesting and fun thing to have around, so those of us who wish to get in touch with the community beyond Sythe are able to without breaking rules.

I honestly don't care how this is added. Just one sticky, just one little section of space taken up, I don't care. I just want to be able to communicate with the PEOPLE behind the pictures and words, without going strictly through Sythe. This would also mean that the Sythe community would build and get stronger, as we are communicating not only on Sythe, but also in the time we ARE NOT on Sythe.

Please, think about this. Don't rush to not support it. It isn't the best idea in the world, but I do think it would be pretty awesome to become real life friends with Sythe users, and frankly, on Sythe that is just impossible without seeing their face and knowing their interests and attitudes. Sure, you can learn alot about someone on Sythe, but that takes skimming through every single persons posts to find just one person who you can get along with. I'd rather open a page, see all their interests and who they are right there, and take it from there.

Open to ideas, as well. If this shouldn't be suggested, please add to list and lock. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I understand that MSN, Skype, etc. are tools that you can use. But I check Facebook every day. I leave Facebook on when I leave. That is people's social lifeline. ALL of my friends have Facebook. I know everyone here has Facebook, as well. I don't see anything wrong with adding eachother, and being able to check up on eachothers personal lives.

Edit: This could also help Sythe for the greater good. Sythe admins could use Facebook against scammers, and people who do off-site scamming would be caught easier through Facebook. I see no negative sides to this.
