Zynga (the makers of Farmville, Mafia wars, etc.) continue to surprise me ...

... with their stupidity.There's a loading issue going on so what do they do? They ask people to run a tracert and POST THE RESULTS IN A PUBLIC FORUM.That's right - post your IP address as well as a nice set of instructions on how to get there for all the world to see.

Don't believe me?

While I agree this information can be very helpful with troubleshooting they should have set up another account (admin so it looks legit) and asked for people to send it to them in a PM.

I've never played it but I have a funny story. My Mom (new Facebook user) caught up with a high school friend via Facebook. She said she started reading messages from him asking people to feed his animals on his farm while he was away on vacation. So my Mom is thinking, "Okay. He has a farm now. That is nice". Contemplating what type of questions to ask him about his farm, she reads on to discover to her embarrassment that he was talking about Farmville. LOL.

Lol, well, I mean, I am on facebook a lot, but I have never played any of the games. I got it on my phone and are usually on there talking with friends and family whenever I get the chance. The games are just a joke though....

i got no fb account

when i want to communicate with family and friends, i'll call, write or go see them

Agree FB games can be a HUGE waste of time. But they do have another interesting aspect if you go crazy as I did.

I've got about 3500 FB friends thanks to a stint at playing Mafia Wars for about 5 months last year. That's 3500 active friends and over 4500 members in my mafia. I hope to do some very subtle biz promoting through this channel eventually....

My friend's dad recently joined facebook, and his daugther is surprised, and said "WTF!". Her dad asks her,what's that? Her daughter replied, "Welcome to facebook."

Kids do... This is where they learn how to lie, cheat and steal from other kids who did the same to them.

Another left wing flamer who want's to make this a political issue, It's NOT.

I was referring to YoVille, Kids are so trusting of one another on this site that they get all their item goodies ripped out from under them, and FB support does nothing about it.

Zynga are going to take over the online poker world when the licensing legislation passes.

I was like that when I played Castle Age - over 2,000 "friends". I decided to quit castle age and got rid of over 1800 neighbors. While my wall still gets filled up with Farmville, it's not as hard to find posts from friends and family. Maybe I should set up a second account on FB for games like that - Castle Age, etc. just to get neighbors for *ahem* marketing?

You mean they don't already? They just hide it well. You pay real $$$ for their in-game cash. Sounds like you're gabling with real money to me!

Zynga loves to skirt around laws. All their games are beta which means they can do whatever they want but can't charge for it. Fine, they'll make these "additional items" which make the games a lot better cost real money.

**Mike Cruz** · 12-09-2010, 07:11 AM

Isn't there or wasn't there a age requirement to get on facebook? Kids are playing the games? On my friends list it seems like the older you are, the more likely your spamming my news feed with how you need some help with your crops.
