I dont know if this is the best forum for this but it will at least lead me to the proper one. I love reading articles and new feeds and such on the ticats website and want to share them on fb (especially with regards to the stadium) but there is never the FB link. Most websites have the FB logo somewhere around the article that sends a direct link to your facebook profile. Yes I can cut and paste the link (and thats what I do) but why not make it a little easier!
Agreed... :rockin:
sheesh, doesn't Mark Zuckerberg already have more than enough cash ? 
This is something that we hope to implement on Ticats.ca in the near future -- in the meantime, don't hesitate to suggest any other features that you'd like to see added to the website.
awesome, thanks for listening! Go cats! :cowboy:
Reasoned debate, rational thinking, and respect for differences of opinion would be nice additions. 
Actually we have all of that Mark.
If you go to the "unofficial" CFL website "The 13th man" they have it. Of course that website is not controlled like this one.

Being an old fart, I think it’s rather arrogant of you
to cause me to wrack my brain trying to figure out what FB stands for
to save you a few key strokes on the keyboard, TCinH. 
Is it just me or do other people find keystroke-saving irritating?
Even though by the end of your post you used the word “facebook”
your post left me confused because I didn’t catch on that by FB you meant “facebook.”
[and FB will likely stand for something else {football?} the next time I see it.]
Is it too much trouble for you to design you posts for the widest audience possible, TCinH?
I wish some sportscasters would read this post.
I’m really getting irritated by some of them that think be thought of as “cool”, they must follow the really lame American trends of blurting out stuff such as “I----N-----T” instead of actually saying the word -interception-
Adapt or die.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated
:rockin:
Wth? Fyi, imo… just kidding :lol: Maybe youre right about FB being a bad one because it could be looked at as football lol but the large majority of the users on the internet use keystroke savers. Its become sort of a language with all the lol’s lmao’s etc. etc. Perhaps its your job to learn the language. I’m not sure if “arrogance” is the right word here. Unless its your pride thats being effected. I will try to be more conscious about the keystroke savers that could be misinterpreted though!
Forsooth, but methinks thine epistle hath not merit.
Language evolves over time, especially English. Words from other langauges are adopted, as well as jargon from various sources. Have you never used acronyms or jargon in your life? SNAFU, FUBAR, RADAR, SCUBA, PC, Net, Web once were new terms that have since been incorporated into everyday langauge. Some have multiple meanings, and need to be interpreted in context, just like regular words with multiple meanings. My kids, having grown up in the internet age, now use some of the common internet acronyms in regular speech, e.g. they use “lol” like I use “ha ha” when someone says something mildly amusing.
True, when these terms are first used, they need to be explained. But FB for Facebook has been in common use by Facebook users for years, and given the publicity around Facebook, they may forget that not everyone would grasp the meaning right away.
BTW, you use the term “post”. From its usage, it seems to be a noun. Looking in the dictionary, I see a few meanings for a noun “post”, but none that make sense in this context. A pole or stake, a courier, a place where a person is stationed are the only meanings listed. Is this perhaps some new meaning for the word that has crept into the English language?
Anyway, in this case, I do sort of agree with you, mainly because this is a football (FB) related site, and because the shorter the acronym, the less likely it is to be unique. Acronyms like FB and PC could mean many things and have to be interpreted in context; they also can be difficult to look up. TANSTAAFL or ROTFLMAO, on the other hand, most likely can only mean one thing, and a Google search is probably going to give you the meaning on the first hit.
Good reads here. Sort of a bit related to this is the "saucer pass" in hockey and the throw in football that was dropped "in the bucket" or in basketball the "tray". Yes, the language evolves in how it's used. Chaucer wouldn't be too happy though me thinks.
Just be thankful that we don’t have the government passing laws in an attempt to stop the evolution of our language. Unlike that other official language of this country.
Even Skakespeare (William, not Stevie) would be shocked by how much the language has evolved over the years. (Although probably more shocked that anybody would still be reading, watching, and especially studying his writings. And that so many lines from his plays are now common expressions.)
True enough CatsFan. Tabernac! Or is that too Anglais for dem' dar en Quwebec?
The overuse of acronyms is one of the greatest problems in writing today.It destroys clarity, and creates needless time-wasting ambiguity for those who can't read the mind of the writer, who falsely assumes that everyone knows what he means. How hard is it to write "Facebook" out in full the first time you use it, then drop down to the acronym for the rest of the piece? At least, then, the reader has a chance to dig out the initial reference, and lose no time or meaning.
I thought this thread was about a Fullback.
