Facebook forums was not created by Facebook. It's an outside developer. After you create an account, to get your banner up you have to pay them JUST to put up your own forum banner or advertisement. The prices are kind of ridiculous. I tried inserting my forum's link in my signature and it won't let me. Not as bbcode and not as html code. On top of that, the developer puts his own advertisements on your forum in your threads and posts. Kind of messed up. Today I invited a 1000 people, only 45 signed up so far, no posts. The developer joined my forum. I'm wondering if he's adding the people I invited to his own facebook forum. That would be a pretty slick move. Whoever he is, he's pretty smart. I will buy banner space later but only for a limited time. I made the facebook forum to build back links since Facebook is a PR1 site.
