Interesting !
The link shows as :
http://hexus.net/fbcqb but links thru to Hexus' FB page.
Re: V. poor facebook warning
Dear Misc - I am so sorry you feel this way.
We don't force you to do anything, it's your choice.
As a site we invest heavily in a ton of areas - content, testing, development, hosting in order to bring you this site. It's funded by working with partners. One of the things which we work on with companies is Competitions. Without doubt (and I hope someone can confirm me either way) we have the best competitions out of any tech publication.
Ironically that link was to a competition that you could enter via Facebook - the reality is the competition is closed. We didn't update the link quick enough but the application goes through to our FB page if the competition has expired. The link has been updated to another contest now.
Thanks for the lack of the benefit of the doubt - because as a regular round here I am surprised you are so cynical and decided to post like you did but heck that's cool. :)

Thanks for the reply - i'm getting way too cynical generally in my older age.
I just appreciate transparency ... i dont want Hexus sliding down a slippery slope.
Thanks

Don't worry - we won't! :)
Re: V. poor facebook warning
Aye, think of us poor people that use your site from work, where attempting to get on social media lends us in hot water (even if browsing your page during a designated break). Some form of warning that a link goes to any social media page would be useful.
