For once I actually agree with cometh a bit... I'd rather stay here too. There's nothing at all wrong with you promoting the Andromeda Facebook group that you are a part of. Its more where yer doing it that is the problem i.e here in the games very own home forum. Most of the users here are already comfortable and would rather not jump from place to place to talk about the same game.. Its human nature and I'm sure you understand this... Yes I get it that we'll have more freedom to talk about more things but as I said and is clearly evident, people are comfortable here for the most part.
Yer a smart businesses & marketing minded person so I'm sure you can come up with more creative ways of promoting your group without taking users away from here. YouTube and other internet outlets is at your disposal and I'm sure the bigger bulk of your sub base aren't from BSN so Yer way better off grabbing non BSNrs that way your attempts aren't frowned upon here.
Just my 2 cents
I get it. Its the same kind of thinking Cometh indicated though. It doesn't connect with me based on what this forum is.
BSN is exactly a "social network", which means we can discuss socially and network about the game even if it includes another platform.
For example, if we go to the Mass Effect Story, Campaign and Characters section where they grouped the old Mass Effect Art forum, would we frown on a poster who posted about their art located on deviantart.com, posted images of it, and told people they can join his/her deviantart page? .....No....I am 100% sure that would not be the case as he/she is posting about said topic, even if its another platform.
So with that example, this post is about a Mass Effect Multiplayer Facebook community group that asked me to be a part of it two weeks ago. I joined and figured it may be interesting to some people here as it is related to multiplayer entirely....exactly as this forum is related to multiplayer.
As to the "frowning" on efforts...I don't know what that means, based on my explanation previously, if posting about a Mass Effect multiplayer community page is frowned upon then most likely whoever frowns on this posting probably doesn't understand the forum itself.
EDIT: only because its the internet and anything can be taken various ways even if we are giggling ticklish about it. My response was not defensive on you or cometh, just an opinion.
