RLSLOG Fanclub on Facebook
Facebook is becoming the real hit all over the world and that was the reason why I created a special group there. It’s called RLSLOG Fanclub and it’s obviously made for all fans and readers of our site. There are currently 42 members and I assume that few hours after this post, this number will skyrocket to hundreds. We don’t really have any big plans with that group, it’s just a small gig to unite all fans of Releaselog. And if I already write about social networks, you might also appreciate our Twitter feed, which works basically as RSS feed, informing about all posts right after they got published on the site.

Jesus i see it all now

RLSLOG Fanclub on Facebook is a dumbest idea ever… in one place RIAA & others can get first & second name & that kind of stuff… secure your privacy people.
Thanks, but I'm don't want my friends to see i'm connected to warez
Don't care what u say, I'll definitely add rlslog to my facebook.
@roarrshade: Don't care… RIAA definitely add you to their Facebook or Failbook
there is nothing wrong with facebook you geek. even though i know there shouldn't be any bad implications resulting from joining such a group, i still dont like the idea of it.
Putting up your personal information and having it related to a release site seems kinda risky. Thank you but I think I will stay anonymous
@13 : my words, me too
"Putting up your personal information (period, regardless of RLSLOG) and having it related to a release site seems kinda risky (blatantly stupid). Thank you but I think I will stay anonymous"
@8
Yeah that!
And it's not even about RIAA or such "checking on people".
I'm thinking about future employers doing research on people they're about to hire.
That might not be the case for some numpty job.
But for employments with a high profile, there is a possibility of a thorough check.
People should keep that in mind for everything they leave on the net with their name.
Once it's out there…
It might come back to bite you in the Royal You Know What.
Most Facebook profiles are entirely private, name and city aside. You're dumb if you DON'T make it private. Only add people you trust and you have nothing to worry about.
I'm putting it in my profile. If an employer sees my profile I'm screwed anyways. That's why you keep it private.
NOOOOO facebook please…. it is suppose to be some kinda warez stuff and now we got the kids at facebook !!
what a good way to get in trouble..
It's hilarious situation because in a one way everyone screams about privacy, about how bad is Microsoft because Windows is spying on it's users etc. & in the second way these same users who complain about privacy add each other to RLSLOG Fanclub on Facebook – social website that have deepest information about them.
thanks for letting us know who you are
I just love it!
First, we have lots of unexplained server downtime
Then, 90% of the RSL team decide to leave because they are working their bits of for nothing in return
This is followed by periods where nothing of value is posted (except Marty's fetish stuff!)
And recently, we've had stacks of fishing links posted with no action to remove them
Today's genius idea?
Yep, Marty wants us all to voluntarily dox ourselves!
Hmmm. A cynic would look at the PirateBay trial. If PB loses, then RSLog is finished, and Marty loses around $8,000 per month in advertising income.
I wonder how much the RIAA would pay an 'informant' for details of people to litigate against?
But there's a problem. As the site has no membership system, Marty only has IP addresses which are worthless.
However, if the muppets actually joined a site where they identified themselves…………
You've been warned!
I agree with hugh, this is the dumbest, stupidist idea ive ever heard. Unless RIAA and others have already gotten to the admins here and this way they can get 100% identification, as an IP address can be disputed, afterall it could be anyone at the residence of said IP.
Actualy probably better if every idiot and his dog joins, easier to filter out the trash
This is one of the most idiotic ideas I have ever heard of.
Why would anyone be so stupid as to provide a direct link to their actions committing piracy and are there that many n00bs using this site that they all use facebook ?
> We don’t really have any big plans with that group
what are the small plans then?
Next big thing will be to stick a sign outside your house saying 'arrest me, I'm doing something illegal'
Well its not actually a fan page but its a group. There's a possibility to make a fan page too
Hehehehe !!!!
Looks like there are 966 people intent of getting their asses sued by the RIAA. How stupid can you get?
Looking on the bright side:
1. The more that register, the faster that Marty will find himself arrested in a dawn raid. And yes, they CAN find you no matter how clever you think you are (and in your case, Marty there is much doubt!)
2. The more that register on Facebook, then the busier that RIAA will be when they start investigating by subpoenaing Facebook's records (which they WILL turn over)
At this rate, the chances of them even bothering to work on IP traces alone are getting slim to nil
3. Does anyone think that the delusions of grandeur have led to Marty thinking he is running a LEGAL business? Because he may well be not – especially if the PirateBay trial goes the wrong way!
So, keep joining Facebook no0bs – with RIAA fines of typically $235,000 (Google to confirm this) a lot of people (and their parents if they live at home) could end up bankrupt!
You should definetly add a Facebook-button right by the "RLSLOG FORUMS" and IRC-button for those that missed this post. Nice one! It'll be interresting to see how many will join the group. Over 1000 now.
Sheesh, give Marty a break. I don't follow the in's and outs of RLSLog but if a previous comment is true: "90% of the RSL team decide to leave because they are working their bits of for nothing in return" then Marty is doing us a favor by hanging in there. Facebook may be a mistake but I'm still grateful RLSLog exists.
Only a total n00b would do something so very stupid but thats Martin for ya, site down all the time, slow or no info on new reaseles, all the good people leaving, loads of spam and phishing links + RLSLOG = fail.
whats the point
Very bad idea…very bad indeed! Having all your details and mugshots linked directly to RLSLOG?!
Yup, DEFINITELY a BAD idea….
when did it become a felony to visit this site or even to run it?
It ain't a felony as far as I know but the more you keep your head down the less people you are likely to get on your back.
Facebook is home to one of the highest volumes of users per site on the entire web, so it is far from keeping a low profile when you advertise your site and a large number of its users on there.
It is a good idea to put RLSLOG on Facebook but i'd say it's also a delicate one at the same time…maybe it just isn't worth the publicity…
The only reason RLSLog has made a Facebook profile is for exposure, to get more traffic.
A few idiots join the group and suddenly their network of friends see they've joined it, investigate and POW – you have a huge spike in the Friends of Farcebook Club, and a huge increase in site traffic for RLSLog.
Good advertising move for RLS, but not wise for its users I think.
no staff comments, you sheep should think about that for a second, then perhaps read comment 37@Panda again…
"A few idiots join the group and suddenly their network of friends see they've joined it, investigate and POW"
Wow, everyone seems to so hyper sensitive about this FB thing. Okay, agreed anyone joining the club could be under scrutiny.
But why would you join using your real account? Create a fake account and join. It's not like it costs anything to have multiple accounts.
Is this a good promotional move? Possibly. More traffic could mean more users and more posters and more links
.
More traffic will certainly mean the continued continuance of RLSLog, nothing bad about that. But I doubt if your average Farcebook user knows much about uploading anything apart from their latest bowel movement.
Making the scene mainstream might not be a great idea generally either. Just more things for the MPAA or whomever to point to and cry at. Example:
"omfg that FB page has a million friends! Multiply that by $30 per DVD plus $10 per theatre seat is (sound of cash register) $40M dollars loss to us and that's for a single movie!" And so on, and so on.
It gives them solid figures to point to, perhaps for the first time so publicly verifiable, so matter how flawed their argument is.
So.. yeah, thanks for the FB group. Next bright idea?
Really? Sign up as a fan of a site that posts info about illegal scene releases, on a site that has details of who I am and where I live? A site which, if the conspiracy theorists are even remotely right, is at the very least a handy little tool for law enforcers to track social groups?
Really?
Is this the dumbest idea ever or what? The 1,733 people who have signed up so far all DESERVE to be b1tchslapped by the powers that be.
