There, I fixed it!
In case anyone cares, news now posts on the spring facebook fan page, properly (no duplications or any of that silly stuff).
Re: There, I fixed it!
/me goes off to post news about waterhoses again so knorke can rage :)
Re: There, I fixed it!
this?
http://www.facebook.com/springrtsengine
Stuff like this:
is imo pretty fail but whatever. (the text is cropped like that on facebook, not by my screenshot)
Why are all the pictures of one game except for this one:
(which is years old)
Actually I do not really understand why a software needs a facebook page in the first place, but since everybody seems to like it, I assume the problem is with me.

Re: There, I fixed it!
knorke... the only item that is on the facebook page form the new syndication is http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A ... yn6iLYWhXw
Pretty easy to tell considering that if you go to the spring page: https://www.facebook.com/springrtsengine
and look at the news items, the top item is "via networkedblogs" and the item before that is from 2011 and instead of linking to the source, it is actually a facebook note.
Provide me with a list of good images to use and I'll upload them.
Why do you bitch about everything anyway?

Facebook has more than 845 million active users (as of December 2011)
50% of active users log on to Facebook in any given day
Average user spends more than 55 minutes per day on Facebook
Think about this: your clients are not going to log onto your website everyday, but more than half of all users log on to Facebook in any given day. That is over 400 million people you could potentially reach with a daily status message. Plus, a Facebook fan page offers these advantages:
1. Fan pages are visible to even those without a Facebook profile account. If you send a Twitter message or email with a link, anyone can view the page.
2. Fan pages are indexed outside of Facebook. Meaning, if someone does an online search of your company, this is one more link that will come up.
3. Not sure who your target market is? Facebook fan pages can help you figure that out. Each page keeps statistics of who your followers are and who is participating. It will tell you if they are male or female, their age range, where they are located and what language they speak.
4. With a regular Facebook profile you are limited to 5,000 friends. With a Facebook Fan Page the number of fans is unlimited. This might not be a huge thing if you are just starting out, but always plan for your growth.
5. You can further establish your brand. People do business with people they trust. Social media is all about building the trust over time and Facebook is a great way to do that.
Because no one else has bothered to add any of their game. There are 5 admins on the Facebook page. No one has requested any other games and I'm not going to go out of my way to find screenshots of your (your not referring to you specifically, knorke) game that don't look like shit.knorke wrote: Why are all the pictures of one game except for this one:

Re: There, I fixed it!
I have no clue what part is a "facebook note", "news", "networked blog" and what else there is.
It all just looks pretty messy, outdated and broken to me.
eg the zero-K post from 13 hours ago shows "no image / invalid URL" and the text is loled up.
This note: "Development of Conflict Terra has come to a close." is the one at top. So since half a year vistors think CT is dead. I think if my game was presented like that, I would be pretty annoyed. Why is there not the update from 1 week later that development continued? That is bad.
http://zero-k.info/Wiki/Media
http://nota.machys.net/media
http://balancedannihilation.org/portfol ... reenshots/
http://springrts.com/wiki/Kernel_Panic#Still_shots
etc

imo if you create a page that presents Spring to "845 million active users" it is in your responsibility to ensure it is represented correct. Only having one game shown does not do that, it is not that hard to go to the various games websites and take some pictures from there.No one has requested any other games and I'm not going to go out of my way to find screenshot

Re: There, I fixed it!
I didn't create it, dumbass. I and AF fixed it after it had gone completely to shit from neglect.
Because you're stupidly unaware, facebook makes it ridiculously difficult to get rid of information. If you didn't already know this you are a fucking moron because anyone who reads the news on an annual basis is aware that FB makes removing data of any kind extremely difficult, just as private data should never be private in the eyes of shitbook.
The previous notes were from an rss syndication ability that used to be in facebook pages, but facebook removed it because those links take people away from dumbfuckingidiotsbook instead of linking to somewhere else on the shitty site.
Try clicking on "blog" for more stories. I have no way to push all those old articles to facebook, and if I did the dates would be fucked anyway. Click on networked blogs (aka "blog") if you want a full story list.
The image is lolled because the rss feed from the zk forum doesn't ever supply pictures in the feed and I told the syndication to try like hell to grab a thumbnail. I'm sorry it offended your delicate sensibilities.
Wrt images, I am not responsible for other peoples projects. i spend enough time maintaining shit and if they can't be fucked to provide me with them, then I can't be fucked to go getting all of them either.
Why don't you go be a non-useless good boy and download all those images and put them in a zip for me. I am not the only admin on the facebook page. There are 4 others, one of which is AF, but instead of being even remotely helpful, all you know how to do is bitch and be a troll.
Now, fuck off.

Re: There, I fixed it!
Gimmie admin, I'll fix you up with some hotness when I get back to uni with decent upload speed.

Anyway, why do you bitch about everyone Forb?

Re: There, I fixed it!
Btw, That thumbnail is a picture of the app overlaid with text. It is done by facebook and is called an app tab. There is no controlling it, like 80% of everything on facebook, you get what you get whether you like it or not.knorke wrote: Stuff like this:

You have this interesting notion that we can actually edit the code of the page and do what we like. Such is not the case.
Re: There, I fixed it!
As said, no idea what all that facebook buzzwords are.
I went to the page, saw it is broken, reported it. Do with it what you want.

Your postings are always hyping something or full of "fuck", "piss" and "shit" or personel insults and your assumptions about spring stuff are often wrong. So yeah, it is hard to resist.Forboding Angel wrote:He is trolling in many different areas Johannes. This is only a small part.

Re: There, I fixed it!
I do believe jaz would do an honest job, any possibility he could help you forb?
Re: There, I fixed it!
I should spend more time fixing those things.
Forb what Feed is this all being syndicated from, and do respond to ym PM about resetting up springinfo on my own server. We could do with the tools we used to have for syndication ( and the improvements coming soon ).
Sadly most of my facebook attention is consumed by the Hack group. "Please American pretending to be woman steal my groups after I insult whitehouse, you help me get it back using phishing?" "Will you tell me how to hack my friend using SEO" "please eat trojan friend machine" "Open teets"
I've made Jaz and Smoth admins

Re: There, I fixed it!
I trust you want to keep the page completely free of TA, BA, AA, CA and everything *A related?
Also, doesn't seem like I'm an admin yet. You got my fb to make me admin in the first place?

*A is strictly not allowed.

Re: There, I fixed it!
Jaz, I made you admin. I think AF forgot to hit save changes. FB changed the interface (AGAIN), for making people admins.
Please only post high quality screenshots. That means no shitty guis. No shitty gui elements. No jagged edges (I can haz AAx2 plox?) if at all possible. No shitty map edges.
Common sense basically. When someone looks at the images, we want people to see real quality and be interested. Btw, people don't post bullshots. That is not helpful.
Desperately needs some zk and gundam shots on there. Some CT and KP stuff would be nice too.

Re: There, I fixed it!
Alright, I'll see what I can do when I can back to uni in a week. I've got some old CA and KP shots lying around. Some are still completely relevant (Same models). Although, the best thing is probably waiting a few months until I get back home to shoot some more shots. I'm kind of in an awkward setup atm where I have great internet at uni but with a laptop that runs Spring really badly and I have a great desktop at home which I use for snapping top quality screenshots but the internet is worse than worse.
In September I'm moving into a house near uni and taking my desktop with me so I'll have the ideal setup then. That's hopefully when I'll really be able to get down to uploading super high quality shots all the time.

Re: There, I fixed it!
Sorry for the Facebook friend denial Forb, I only add people close to me that I know really well on fb, don't take it personally I'd add you anywhere else <3
