I should’ve realized how viral it would be. After installing it, you click on all of your contacts who are family members and it gets them to add the app or whatever.

Needless to say, once reaching that stage I took a step back and thought the whole concept was retarded (for lack of better words). I know I’m related to you; it’s not like I’m going to forget anyone. Yet.

Damn you, social networking.

Added this to the index file, works like a charm:

if( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'facebook.com') > 0 ){
	header('Referer: http://www.facebook.com');
	header('Location: http://www.facebook.com');
}
