I just realized that the AES page listed in the original post from Mason is the UNofficial one that I mentioned earlier. Yes, it says so in the description, but I'll be that many of the 12,000+ members think it's official. If ASRC doesn't stake their claim on Facebook, someone else eventually will.

discussion group on Facebook, and would like your (ARSC member) input about the
possibility. In short, a "Group", in Facebook terms, functions more like a web
forum, and would not replace our existing Facebook "Page", which is designed
more for ARSC to communicate with members and the public (but, to a lesser
extent, supports user submissions).

Please take a moment to complete it to let us know how you feel about the idea.
The OMC will discuss the results at our meeting later this month and will update
here after we've had a chance to process results and weigh options. If you would
like more information about what such a group would entail, feel free to write
me and/or Andrew Hansbrough ([log in to unmask]).
