Atari Age has fallen victim to someone creating a fake Atari Age page on Facebook with the purpose of insulting Atari Age members, labeling people, and adding abusive content. Doing such a thing is wrong and I think we would be unhappy to see something like that happen to RVG as well.
You can find this abusive Facebook page here: Fake AA Facebook Page (//http)
So, how can you help? If you are on Facebook, you can report the page by clicking on the cogwheel symbol next to the "Like" button of the page and choosing "Report Page." You can then report it as either miscategorized or a duplicate page.

You can also report the individual posts by clicking on the X at the top right corner and choosing "Report/Mark as Spam." You can report it as "Targets me or a friend."
I am not on Facebook myself, so I cannot report the page but I know many members here are. I am hoping you are willing to help as this would be a show of solidarity within the retro community as a whole. I offered Albert (who owns AA) my help and this is how I'm doing it. Thank you!

Great stuff Trek!
I just did it myself even though I have had "issues" with AA in the past.
It would be nice to put all these petty squables in the retro community behind us and support the scene as a whole.Â

Thanks! I hope more folks report the page so Facebook has to take notice and remove the page.

Looks like Facebook took the page down! Thanks to those who reported the page!
