                        Just looking at a local website forum that's not snitz (silly them...), and I notice you have the option to logon using a facebook account? Anybody every tried this with snitz, can it be done?

                                        I think that is using Windows Live log-in 
How to incorporate it into Snitz, I haven't a clue

                                        I absolutely hate all the things that are going to requiring (or have it as an option) a facebook account to login.  A lot of iOS apps are going this way unfortunately.

                                        you can easily integrate the Login with Facebook.
Facebook uses OAuth 2.0 so it's very easy to follow up the OAuth rules and implement such, you will need one more field in the users table to hold the authentication token to provided you with "Who are you?" and then auto login with the normal user.
I do that in some of my web apps, though I don't do it on my Snitz Forum as I only have one and though they are more than 250 users that "liked" our page, I don't think that would be a great feature as the age of my forum users are normally 40+

                                        an easy way of doing all this, is upon getting "email", "name" and "avatar", just create a normal user account with the "facebook_user_id" as the username, and next time user is on the website, just login automatically with those credentials ...
as soon as the user gives you permissions to grab the data you request, he does not need to do anything else, every time you initialize the facebook javascript and ask for the user credentials using the request, it's all there.
You you need more help, just ask
