but, who are you? I don't think I've seen your name before. I've been on holiday for a few weeks, so your introduction post or the post where you ask for permission to write PPC related stuff might have slipped past me.
And yeah, I think the community would have liked if you had asked first.
I recently made a facebook page for the PPC that can be found here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Protectors-of-the-Plot-Continuum-PPC/148909888470443#!/pages/Protectors-of-the-Plot-Continuum-PPC/148909888470443?v=wall. In hind sight I should have asked first but I was short on sleep at the time and not the most sane person. I hope i did not offend and I hope the page does well.
All Hail the PPC
Although I can't find it any more, so it may have been deleted.
Point is, as everyone else has said - you *ask* first, yeah?
I'm all for community spirit, and friending fellow Agents is fun. But, as Neshomeh says, I'd rather choose who I associate with online than have my RL name pop up every time someone checks that page.
I'd appreciate if you took it down-- though, as pointed out below, you're still welcome here. We just tend to encourage introductory posts and getting-to-know stuff.
Firstly, I've never seen your name before, and I have been here a lot lately. You've never made an introduction post or joined in any other threads before that I have seen. No offense - we always like to meet new people - but suddenly making this choice for us without ever really joining our community in the first place is rather rude. No, you didn't offend (me, at least), but it's not exactly welcome.
I also don't like the idea of a Facebook page for our community, mainly because we all go by pennames and Facebook is, by definition, a place where one goes by their real name. I'm not about to connect the two.
So I'm sorry, but I, at least, will not be having anything to do with that Facebook page. I'd rather it was deleted, to be honest. That said, please don't turn and run because your first post here was a mistake; go ahead and make an introduction post, start afresh, and join our community properly. Everyone's welcome.
Decisions like that should really be made by the community as a whole.
It's one thing if individual PPCers want to be friends on Facebook, but I don't know how comfortable I am with the idea of anyone at all being able to connect the PPC with my real name that easily. I'm not particularly shy about the fact that I'm involved here, mind you, but I'd prefer it to be up to me who finds out, and how. Also, I hate to imagine what would happen if angry fanbrats who've been PPCed found their way there. Which is probably inevitable.
So, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not about to join. I second everything IndeMaat said, too.

... so I'm probably not the best person to judge.
