I closed my Facebook account
 

Got tired of the blue colours and the people writing about their life.

Give it four more years, and that site is dead. Long live email! :2 cents:

wrong forum.

hmmmmm.... I just deleted the people whos life i didnt want to know about.

If I did that it would be a very short list. :1orglaugh

And you sure are using GFY for the very same purpose, links pulled ...

lol okay

my list went from near enough 400 to below 100

you are writing about your boring life here, but i can't unfriend you.

i vote ban.

Mine is at 52. I get lots of friend requests but rarely approve any of them even from people that I know. If you arent really a friend you arent getting added. Just because someone is in the same business as me and we have 10 mutual friends doesnt mean that I want them on my page. Same thing goes for people that I consider to simply be an acquaintance.

I still have my ICQ on with 500+ contacts in after 500+ deleted. I speak to 5 people there max. Gonna dump it for Skype 100% usage. Facebook is kinda fun , keeps my iphone notes coming in and makes it kinda live when i masturbate in the closet.

heh, I remember a couple years ago it was, "I have 852 Facebook friends!" ... "Yeah, well, I have 1291 friends!".

Now it's, "I cut my list, and only have 85 friends" ... "Yeah, well, I only have 43 friends!"

heh...

On your wall, in the right corner of a persons post, right click and a menu comes up. You can select to not show updates from that person anymore, but they remain your friend.

fb will be gaming, photo sharing shit making millions

Congrats, you're a hero now :)

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Sure you can, you don't need to delete them

Just kidding, it's a good move ...

I know people who've been on the site more than 4 years lol. I resisted and am at like 3 already.

Thats my thinking on it also! :2 cents:

I've never even had a facebook account... don't want anyone to know what I do, and I don't give a shit what other people do either!

sweet move., now create new account there.,

fb is fun,
like u comment on someones snap, and itr goes to everyones updates

I have 0 friends :thumbsup

Thanks for the status update

I keep asking my wife why she cares about seeing her second cousin's uncle's sister's best friend's baby pictures.

How many fucking baby pictures can you look at at in one night? Get over here and blow me.

To me, Facebook lets you know about shit you shouldn't even be knowing about. I really could give a shit that your best friend from Brooklyn Renee' just spilled coffee on her new dress.

sweet, now go close ur gfy account.

ain't that the truth! :thumbsup

yeah its gonna be dead
yeah right lol

Approx 80% if my facebook 'friends' have been treated with that trick. Makes like SO much better.

I did 2 years ago

:1orglaugh

I finally tried facebook and it lasted six days.
I took 5 days off after joining. :1orglaugh


Maybe I don't know how to use the web site.
I tried "surfing" it and that didn't seem to do anything.
It seemed that I had to search for names and that was it.

I searched for an ex GF from 20 years ago, saw her facebook page, then logged out
forever.

:1orglaugh

I can see how it get's to the men
Some people write total nonsense.

About a year ago I went to a laundry mat and a mom and daughter were
there washing clothes and they discovered they had a bath towel that wasn't
theirs.

The mom told the daughter to get the cell phone and go onto facebook and post
that someone(a guest) had left their bath towel at the pool party.

Why I even considered joining facebook after hearing that is a mystery.

And then you have to make more lists of people that you dont want seeing your updates. So if you dont want to see theirs and you dont want them seeing yours, whats the point in having them on your friend list at all?

mines at 10 and 5 of them are bull shit topics threw the feed and daily they send request and want me to play city ville or some bull shit. i played those once and said fuck this and removed them. i can't see the obsession with those types of games.

I deleted it recently it was making me hate my friends for ending up with such annoying women lol.

"Wow i had to scrape my windshield today and its soooo cold, sucks" "wow im getting married, did i remind you im getting married, ok we got the flowers im getting married, ok today we get married, ok here is the wedding photos, 5 years later: do u guys remember wat an awesome day our wedding was".

what ever happened to being a private person? i cant stand the way people have become these days.

I deleted my account as well. I don't give a damn about the colour of the crap they took the other morning. Fuck Facebook

LOL, that gave me a much needed chuckle. :)

I don't know, but I actually like Facebook. I don't ever use it to communicate, but my sister-in-laws and other family members sure seem to love it. When you're on the other side of the world, it's nice to see updates from them about my nephews and nieces, etc.

I want to be "the cool kid" some day....until then I'll keep my facebook page, find out what long lost cousins and friends had for dinner...oh, and I'll let them know what I had for dinner as well...but some day....

GREAT :thumbsup:thumbsup

Yeah i couldn't read that shit everyday. I sometimes check out my girlfriends Facebook, and some of the stuff people write on it is fucking ridiculous!

One of my friends gf's posts EVERY FUCKING THING she is thinking or doing. Whether it's making dinner, to going to bed, to taking a shit.

Idiotic !!!

This type of crap is best left for high school reunions and such events. It might be interesting to hear about other people's lives once every 10 - 20 years...but not on a minute-by-minute basis!! I hate face book too. Made an account about 3 years ago. Logged in 3 times max.

I have a fb account for 2 reasons...

1) So people can email/message me from within Facebook - mine works like IM to my desktop. Not everyone has my personal contact details, including family members.

2) I buy ads

.... I don't just have a few people turned off, I have everyone's updates turned off, even my wifes... and I don't allow anyone to post on my wall either - and I've never posted to my wall... so I never have to worry about it.

My profile is open to friends and any pictures my wife tags me in - that's about it.

Never... GFY is way more fun than Facebook.

Even IRC is way more useful than fb. Fb is like a spaceship, trying to be all things to all people.

I've been on facebook for ... almost 5 / 6 years now, It has most of the people I went to school with on it, it's nice to see what their upto when i get bored, although it can also be annoying looking at what jobs people are now doing.

I can't complain though since I actually like my job

congrats...

Quoted for excellence.

I have Facebook but I rarely post status updates. I have friends on there who update their status twenty times a day. It's ridiculous. Just like those friends who post 10,000 photos of their stupid kid(s). That's just as ridiculous. One picture's enough. Maybe even two. But posting hundreds of photos of a baby is just retarded.

Agree on both points!

What amazes me though, i know some people who update that shit almost every hour near enough with the most pointless random shit they are doing. However, when i find out something that's happened to them that clearly wouldn't make them look so good, not a word about it. Funny that!

Another thing,

Why do people Facebook each other when they are in the same room ?? Stupid.

I posted on here before about a friend of mine and his girlfriend who were going on vacation, and while at the airport, they were messaging each other on Facebook:

"can't wait to get there, mwah!"

"yeah babe, it's gonna be amazing"

"we've been needing this vacation for ages now!"

"you got that right, xxxxxxxxx "


This is two fucking idiots sitting at an airport. Why not fucking TALK TO EACH OTHER, instead of posting it on FB when at the airport. Who the fuck cares ???? :disgust

I think 80 million epyptians like facebook

I'm in agreement with you on that

the sad thing is now if you are a normal person that believes in keeping private, society is starting to act like you are the strange one
