Facebook Fee Rumors


Off-Topic Discussions


I was watching the 11pm news and heard them talk about rumors of Facebook possibly passing on a monthly fee to users in June. This is an article I saw about it after that segment. Anyone hear anything about this? I just joined last month and I'd be bummed if it came to that.

I've never used Facebook--do you get enough out of it that you'd pay to use it?


I've only been on it a month, so it's still too early for me to say. I will say that since I'm not much of a socializer (I loathe talking on the phone for starters), it at least helps me keep up with what my friends and family are up to -- better than getting that yearly Christmas Card letter with the family yammering on about how their year was and how awesome their children was and why my life isn't as excellent as theirs. yadda yadda yadda.

Maybe Google will swallow it whole. Who knows. At least I've not gotten myself into playing any of the FB games ... even though I continually get requests to do so. :P


The story does the rounds every now and then.

I wouldn't take it too seriously.

The only thing that added any weight to 'facebook=pay' was ONE person attached to Facebook who (in passing) suggested that they had considered a 'premium service', the suggestion being that you might have virtual stores or customised backgrounds or a vanity url. It was only a suggestion, and only in passing.

Still, that didn't stop a metric ton of people rallying to a group proclaiming they wouldn't pay a fee...even though they were never asked to :p

It's actually a very good utility, and enjoy it for what it is.

Pathfinder Devs migh consider a Pathfinder app like the D&D Tiny Adventures, Id use it!

Yeah, it's been a rumor for a long time, and is widely regarded as a hoax. They may start selling a premium package that is add-free, or something, but I think it's obvious to everyone that if they start charging, people would flee Facebook in droves.


If you see that particular "fan of" it's a malware trap, DO NOT click it, if you did, run your anti-virus and clean it.

Castle Age is fun

I like Realm of Empires as well.

D&D TINY ADVENTURES SUCK!!

Wish there was a kick ass PATHFINDER FB app!

It is BS. Facebook makes all their money from app vendors. If they started charging people would bail from the site in droves.
