[Hooahguy]

[rajpoot]

[Ja'chyra]

Curdish terrorist? I herd they were responsible for the udder devastation at Churnoble and they are trying to get their hooves on CUD missiles - apparently they have a beef against the people of Hamburg.

Ahem, anyway, TWorg now says "Awaiting membership confirmation". With no admins, I guess this ain't gonna happen.

I know every single one of my friends personaly (save 3 or 4 uni related things)

I meet you and I leave an impression.

More of a stain, really. Along the lines of, "I shook his hand and now I feel dirty."

Do I count as an uni related thing then?

And subotan, of course they earn money if people just look at it, that's what all the ads are for after all.

[Subotan]

The more people use it, the more money Facebook makes, so it makes sense for them to encourage you to use it as much as possible, meaning that they want you to use it for more than just keeping tabs on far away people.

OK you and spartakus. But I "know" you in the sense that I knew who you were when I click confirm. Some people just add or confirm randoms.

[Owen Glyndwr]

I have a facebook.

Man, when I think about it, I've almost had the thing for 3 1/2 years now. Man how that site has changed....

[PershsNhpios]

I found Hooahguy's facebook page - and there are remnants of Hax still there.

Did you manage to replace the bad blood? Or are you still playing silly semitics?

*AHEM!* I meant semantics...

huh?

[LeftEyeNine]

I kindly invite you to exchange PMs if you are inclined to delve into personal matters, so as to prevent any probable misunderstandings which eventually will lead to the inevitable havoc of Lemurly tails of justice.

[Subotan]

me too. i am one of only two friends remaining that still refuse to fazebook.

apparently stauch allies i the anti-fazebook clan has since jumped ship................ once they became single, and facebook became just another resource in the endless search for new p00n.

i shan't crumble!
* as long as i remain attached

Keep fighting. The Good Fight.

What a strange thing to say...

I don't see the point of it. The internet should be about brining together people from all around the world, of different nationalities, viewpoints and origins. Facebook brings together people you have always been together with, so they all have the same nationalities, viewpoints and origins. Together with the fact that they sell your personal information to advertisers, I'm not interested.

Besides, within about a year, Facebook will have gone the way of Myspasm and be a burned out husk of the smart, intelligent idea it might have been, before it was ransacked by pretentious

I probably would have joined it when it was first around, when there were no, stupid adverts, stupid apps, stupid quizes, stupid games, stupid people, old people...I could go on.

FWIW, when you're an older dude like me, you tend to have friends all over the world. Some of my buds are downright vagrant, moving from job to job and country to country. Facebook is a godsend for keeping track of them.

Let's take one example at random -- the Modly family. Old, old friends of mine, who jumped from Chicago to Tunisia for six years. Now they're in Seoul, but often enough they're in Malaysia. They change email addys and phone numbers more often than you chage your socks. Pre-Facebook, keeping tabs on them was a nightmare. Now I can just check their family page to see their current contact info. This is convenient.

Likewise an old writer pal of mine, who drifts from city to city. I know he's now living in Georgia. How do I know this? 'Cause he updates his FB page. He'd be much too lazy to let everyone know where he is otherwise.

I know that FB has mutated in many ways, and has tons of games and spam and status BS, but here's the thing—the core functionality is still there, and nobody forces you to get involved in the trivialities and distractions. Moreover, the layout is forcibly clean, so you don't get room spins and headaches trying to get info from a page, as you did with MySpace.

It's a useful tool. If you let it become more than that, whose fault might that be? Facebook's? Or yours?

[Subotan]

True, but there's a pressure on users of Facebook to use it for more than keeping tabs on far away people; Facebook can't make money like that.
