Re: Promote your forum on facebook?

Post up forum gatherings and cool topics via the news part of the site. That is one way.

You could also just send messages to the facebook group members about the forum and what are hot topics etc...

I have a page for my forum, and about 25 people on it but I haven't really pushed it yet. Once I get some time I'll try to find other people to add to it.

Re: Promote your forum on facebook?

I would definitely try my luck on Facebook applications, btu I am so short on time over the last 2 months.

Those are big hits and spread like wildfire on FB.

I know the Mustang Evolution guy has a FB app. Is he a member here too?

Re: Promote your forum on facebook?

I'm going to be setting up a FaceBook page for the forum (and my social networking, WDBuddies - Where Disney Fans Become Disney Friends ... which got it's customized graphics added today! ) in the very near future. I've just recently added the MySpace page and I'm starting to get friends on it already.

Re: Promote your forum on facebook?

I would suggest making facebook Pages.. not groups
you can do more with pages

I've made pages to replace both my groups

Yes, pages are much better and more functional than groups.
