So, I got together with my new band today, learned some songs, recorded some stuff, etc. So we decided we'd come up with a name -- Nexus -- and create a Facebook page around it. So, we create the Facebook page, I update all the info, everything's going great, and we decide we'll start inviting people. But, apparently, you don't invite people. You add people, and they're in the group, whether they like it or not. So, to get some publicity, we add everybody in all of our friends lists. People are excited, and we make promises of posting our first recorded song (we just had to figure out how to convert it)
Total count : 174 members
Well, then, people start getting a little upset. We didn't realize that people got notification for things that happened. Everything that happened. Everytime we updated our wall or information, they got a post. So, people started getting a little irritated. So they decided they would, en masse, post on the wall complaining about the notifications they were getting. This just added to the heap of notifications getting sent out, so more and more people started complaining. It turned into a vicious cycle :scowl:
Within an hour, some people had gotten something like 170 posts and texts from their phone. So, out of the 170 people we added, about half of them started sending us hate mail, about 40% never got to se it, and around 10 were trying to support us.
Some enterprising young people decided to take advantage of the ability to notify people. One of them posted "NOTIFY" over and over again. Then he posted a message saying "175 people will get an e-mail when I click this little blue button"
In order to protect our name, we changed the name to "Nothing" and the description to "Lol." until we could find a way to delete the group. When we logged onto the group, we got the following message:
"Welcome to Nothing. Lol"
In addition, Facebook's added a new group chat, so that ended up with something like 600 messages in a matter of minutes.
Anyways, we decided to delete the group (by manually deleting everybody and then removing ourselves).
So, in the time span of about an hour, we got about 100 people mad at us. We also decided to delete the group, nix the name, and start fresh.
Sometimes I wish my age group was more mature. haha

Just a product of the wonders of the internet. You might consider a more traditional and inexpensive site to have your band info etc.
