I don't want to be associated with Facebook in any manor or form...What who ever did this is doing is just what we have been trying to discourage..I suggest we ,the moderators, contact Sean and see what is going on and if he has used the MLU logo to start a Face book page to close it down..I know or have nothing in common with the "Friends" listed on the page and the snow ball effect of a friend of afriend of a friend will have every weirdo..pre-vert and skank attacking our forum..a plague has invaded MLU...
Kill it NOW...!!
If nothing else contact Face book and have that page deleted..!!



As an example go to this link...go to profile on the top of the page next to "Home"and click it and see who comes up..

Hi all - I agree with Alex. If I had my way I would have Facebook banned. I also don't Twitter, Tweet, Blog or whatever is available.

Hi all

I agree with all comments made so far. It is like a cancerous growth. Cut it out now before it spreads out of control. We do not need those types.

It is insiduous. I even received an e-mail from Facebook themseves (Itself?) with a list of all people I know who have signed up and asking me join as well. This was unsolicited, unwanted, and an eye opener to what information is available to them. Maybe it should be called "Tracebook".
If the MLU Aussie chapter casts their minds back to the "80's, they may recall the big fuss about the proposed "Australia Card" which would have all our details available to all and sundry. This caused a huge uproar about the Big Brother state etc. and was dropped like the hot political potato it was. Surprisingly the general population has now voluntarily signed up to something even worse.... Go figure.
Was the Mapleleaf logo ever copyrighted? If not, I fear the moderators may not have a leagal leg to stand on.
I would like to hear from Sean, I am sure he would be surprised at the reaction this has caused.

Wow, you guys need to calm down a wee bit. I know three of the people on that page and two of them reasonably well. I'll send them a msg to find out some more about this group. They are all plastic military model makers. I'll get back and post my findings here.

In the mean time, put all the negative energy to something usefull like restoring Canadian WW2 vehicles.

Yes I'd agree with Jordan.
The reason I came across the infringment is because I'm a member of facebook.
Why? I live in the country and have a young daughter so I find it hard to stay in contact with my friends on a regular basis. With facebook I can stay in touch and see what they are up to.
I have not passed any info to facebook apart from my email, just like MLU.
I do not list much private info on facebook because you never know who is watching.
And I'm not one of these weirdos with 800 people on my friends list, just 8.
Facebook is good, just depends on how you use it.
I've even pointed a person I came across on facebook ( a movie armourer ) onto MLU as I thought he'd enjoy sharing his pics with us which included Lee and Stuart tanks and jeeps.
I don't agree with people however calling themselves MLU and using the logo on facebook. However, if it's not trademarked I don't think there is much that can be done.
But let's drop the rifles for a moment and start talks.
