What's Facebook?
No, seriously. What is it? I visited the main page but can't make sense out of it.

Is this why the forums went down for a whole day?

Fix the spelling.
You are struggling to sound monocle here anyway. Do not advertise things like "low moderation" and "open discussion on almost any subject". You make it sound like a fan page. You advertise what the Codex is about in principle and that is the vast knowledge sharing and critical analysis of computer games, especially roleplaying games. Everything must be built upon this basic principle. You do not want people being attracted purely by the love of low moderation or general discussion. Let them find that out themselves after following the their nose towards RPG discussion.
I also don't like the background image. The way the "fire" glows light grey makes it look like a bad paint hack-job where you cut the crowd out of another image with a lighter background colour. It looks crap. How about incorporating some of the new emoticons by Chris Avellone?
The photos section looks like more crappy hack-job work. If you can't at least extract an image out of a white background or eliminate pixellation then just don't bother.

But he is just appealing to the facebook audience with this style...
The spelling is fine, what are you on about?
The text captures the quick essence of the 'dex. You are welcome to click 'about' for a more expanded version.

You really want to make us a new banner? OK. Don't know why you didn't just post your version in the topic that's asking for them?
I think the current banner is pretty cool, but I won't say no to a better one.
I tend to agree with you. It's done. However if you want to touch them up with your photoshop skills go ahead. You can just PM me the results or post them here.
Well, I cannot myself wait to be able to play Farmville, Bubble Blast and Ultimate Collector with all my Codexian buddies.

Seriously why should I care? Would never link my work Jewbook account/web page and blog to
anyway. But please do continue to help DHS to fight the good fight by posting your personal details on web.

Actually, they changed Pages a while ago so you can't see the profiles of other fans. I suppose Grunker can see them, though.
Grunker: You should probably Like Obsidian Entertainment, if you're gonna have Troika, inXile, ITS and DoubleBear. Also, AOD.

I think it's fine, at least it's an interesting experiment.
As a side note, it would be more 1337 to do a Google+ page as well.
And if you're going to do an iOS app, do an Android one too.
And finally, before doing any of the above, if would really be great to optimize the site for mobile browsers, I browse the codex a lot from my phone and right now it's a pain.

Resistance is futile. :p
Facebook can be a major shithole but it does have its uses.

It's a spyware application that helps corporations keep track of you and people you know. It also helps them make personalized ads just for you. And if you use facebook you don't actually have to meet or talk to your friends to keep in touch with them. You'll also be friends with lots of people you don't really give a fuck about.

fbi is watching u be careful son
like google so i invented my own search engine and only use that.
it only finds lithuanian porn right now though so i'm thinking it needs some tweaking
which is why research shows that since facebook came along people never meet each other in real life
oh wait research shows nothing like that but i tell you i got a gut feeling that's how it will end
but what if gragt is a cuddly fellow that gives a fuck about everyone

Download Tapatalk. It's a great app and we've got the TapaTalk plugin installed. Makes for nice, full-featured, phone browsing in a good, usable layout.
Working on it.
No, really.
Ah, I see. This is a clever plot to round up all the fagbook-users on the codex. Then we will have our own krystallnacht and ship them all off into a concentration camp General Discussion.
Very clever, Darkunderlord. Very clever.
