I've just looked, and it is still there.
The old cyclechat.dot.net account has been retired ... we have a new community page - here: https://www.facebook.com/Cyclechat
As a self-confessed non-Facebooker I've no idea what a group page is??!
I don't want a personal Facebook account and assumed a Community Page was the next best thing we could have for CC - are there other options?

Mmmmm. The fb page just links directly to here. Group page means you can chat on there too.

It might not be worth your trouble TBH. Did many people use the old cyclechat group? I only asked because I'd only found the group recently and it was quite nice putting faces to names (ie nosying at everyones profiles!)Sounds better - can you PM some details and I'll see about getting switched over.
Well it may be - I think people preferred the other thing we had - we had more friends/likes but the name didn't fit well so I thought I'd go for the page thing.
I'm not a user of FB myself but thought it would be good to have a CycleChat presence so that CC'ers who FB could say hello and maybe pass our details on to friends who cycle and FB too?

It seems the FB cc page has only 72 likes, disproportionate number compared with the members of the forums.
I think because the content is almost a carbon copy of the threads on here.
There are no mentions of other "cycling stuff" like, say, cycling shows, events, ladies cycling attire
controversial cycling initiatives (nice way code anybody?), links with Netherlands cycling, you get my drift.To get more traffic you need (as an admin to the page) to "like" more cycling pages, so their posts will show in yours.
If you cannae be bothered with FB yourself, make a few mods admins
You could ask @mickle to help, his Cyclorama page has good content, 5900 likes.

I think the only reason it doesn't have many likes is because no one knows about it, I only stumbled across it after coming to the support section, something that I very rarely do.

I think that's the different between a corporate / fan / community page - and a personal account. I don't have a personal account so can't "like" stuff, have 'friends' or post comments etc. Limiting by comparison I guess!
