I am suprised there is not a pinside Facebook page to go along with this site. It seems to me, what better way for more people, especially younger people to see that pinball is alive. Every time you post on it or comment on something on the page every friend you have can see it. If everyone has a few hundred friends then a whole lot of people will get a chance to see what it's about. I love this site but not a lot of people know about it except the pinball obsessed we'll say. Just a thought.

I would rather pay Robin a full time salary than to give Mark Zuckerburg and his shareholders one more cent than absolutely necessary.

I'd rather not get anyone new into the hobby.

Prices are high enough already!

I have seen this come up on a number of forums I use

It never really works, it will get some use, but most postings wiil be repeats of what is already posted here

Why would you go to another site to talk to pinsiders?

Yea, FB is not as interactive or user friendly as a message board forum anyways.

I am much more active on here than I am on my facebook page. I run it down this way:

Times a day I check Pinside- hundreds
Times a day I check Craiglist for new pins- dozens
Times a day I check facebook- maybe twice

Plus my work blocks facebook, but they don't block Pinside!

Yeah the prices are too high already but maybe if they sell more machines the prices for new machines will go down. It seems like stern uses Facebook as its main way of delivering its information.

meh... I hate FB too, but it's a nice way to stay in touch, and spread the word.

I went looking for pinside on FB hoping to be notified of any new happenings, but now that I've read some of these responses.. I agree, prices are high and good tables are rare enough!

...but maybe... just maybe, if pinball was resurrected and brought back to the level it was in the glory days - more companies would begin production again and give Stern a run for their money.

IMO we need at least 2,500 more Monster Bash Tables in circulation for example... for 5K not 11K... doh!!

spread the word, pinball lives!

Well I was not suggesting it as an alternative to this site but something to go along with it. If there was a pinside FB page and people posted on it or liked it. It would become visible to all there friends. Maybe you would get more people interested. Just sayin. Also It's the way Stern uses it to promote all there new machines. The people who are on FB see it and then post it here where everyone else talks about it. I don't think it would be that terrible to have a page. But whatever, just a suggestion. By the way a number of pinsiders are on FB.
