An Opportunity for OWF's Rebirth

[Varrok]

I was talking to current members who might have used one of the email forms. And people have contacted me on Facebook either via direct message or in the OWF group.

Oh, that OWF group that's hard to ever find on the FB unless somebody links you to it?

Oh, and not to mention, the group barely few people know even exists?

[Manco]

I think some servers filter spam with blacklists that block the email from coming in entirely - if that was happening then it wouldn't turn up in their spam folder at all.

You're right though, not much can be done about that - I think it's something that changes over time as servers run health checks on email domains or something.

For the record, I tried to find it and it doesn't exist.

By the way, for an update:

1. We now have a weekly thread called "Odd Piece of the Week", where the forum highlights a particular image/interview/tidbit from Oddworld's vast archives and presents it to our members to discuss and theorise. It seems to be well received by our members, and if anyone has an idea for the next Odd Piece, feel free to put your hand up here, or else I'll find something for this Sunday.
   
2. We are also planning for an OWF Dungeons and Dragons campaign! If you're interested, send me a Private Message. Everyone is welcome to join!
   
3. There is also currently a discussion being held for a new Global Moderator to help assist Nate and Xavier.

It looks like we're making progress on a more active forum with a better sense of community. Hostility is down 97% and besides a few incursions by some of the hostiles, everything is moving along fine! Good work everyone!

It exists. I'm in it. There were a lot of instances where people who were not part of OWF, but mistook it for an official OWI page were joining and posting things irrelevant to OWF, so it was buried deep in the depths of FB where only those who ask can find it.

Search for 'OWF'. I think it should come up high on the search results.

EDIT: I just checked the settings. It's definitely searchable.

Just tried again by searching OWF. Still nothing. I think it might have something to do with Facebook's search engine as opposed to the group being hidden.
