I seem to remember someone talking about naming a facebook thingy designed just for the military personnel on the forum a little while back. Hmmmm I wonder if this is related?

It was, however the thread related to the above mentioned website has been removed from public
consumption here, pending the above mentioned investigation.

That site is ugly.

Geo, I resemble that remark! ;D

However, I can see DND's rationale for blocking this site.  Just look at "Myspace", "Tagged" and "Facebook" and see how much "personal info" is posted there.  An enviornment like "Forcebook" would/could encourage some users to breach OPSEC and PERSEC.  It happens here!  (and kudos to the DS for keeping a lid on it).

 

[geo]

Heh!

I resemble that too!

 

[AverageJoe]

?!?!?!?!?!? How'd you know I was ugly?

Interesting that the news made it here.

Beware indeed.
