Lounge subforum or not, it's not a great plan to start a new thread with a link and no explanatory text whatsoever. What is this about?

it is about: clicking on it.

Ah, so it's spam- you want people to click on something they know nothing about.

[QUOTE=SELROC;522591]ok, so Facebook is scary ?!?![/QUOTE]Nothing to do with that.
