    I hate to play devil's advocate because I think most of the rebuttal offered here is spot on, however Assembler is part of the legacy Internet. For a lot of newly minted adults, websites are in the same category as phone booths, paper maps and pagers. There are a lot of Facebook groups springing up around retro gaming and they aren't all just clueless hipsters. Maybe the group in question is clueless hipsters or some kind of disingenuous ploy, but not solely by virtue of being on Facebook.

    I'm going to pretend this isn't one huge advert for YOUR Facebook group and take that as a serious question.

    Yes.... here

    He also talks about himself in the third person. 12 members in the group. 11 of them have real names. One has a fake name - "Squall Leonhart"... which is against the Facebook TOS (see section 4). He has added all the other users, hence must be the admin. His profile picture is this:

    Say... that looks familiar!

    Complete bullshit. My property, I can do what the hell I like with it. You have ZERO right to see, touch, smell, fondle or do anything with MY property. I don't insist that you lend me your car because it's nice and I want a go (it might be your car is a pile of crap... I don't know... it's none of my business).

    Damn retro looks like you've been needing to blow off some steam.
    But yes you're correct (specifically about the Facebook guideline about real names).

    Better be one hell of a scheme. Outside of that I cant say there's any scam to be had here unless its to collect photos and then list them on ebay and get loadsamoney

    Nah... I just don't appreciate someone on a strange ego trip trying to disguise their advert for their website/social media group/whatever as something they've stumbled across and big up as an impartial third party. Especially someone with the usual "don't hoard your stuff, we have a right to see/copy it" attitude. If you're going to advertise your external service, tell us it's your thing and you'd welcome newcomers. If you think it may be against site rules, ask a member of staff first, instead of pretending to be someone else.
