I am no longer a member of Facebook. I cancelled my account. f**k facebook.

never on Facebook

NEVER WILL

I'm currently going through a dry spell at Facebook. I have nothing interesting to share and the little things I do share go by unnoticed. Not good for my damaged self esteem  :wink:
Pretty much every friend I have on Facebook gets 250+ replies and countless thumbs up for whatever they are posting.
I'm not jealous about that, I just think I'm not Facebook material. I won't cancel my account because I keep in contact with my family on Facebook, but I will lay low for a while.

Never have joined the site myself.  Most of my friends are on it, but the internet consumes enough of my life as it is!

...in the FACE!

But seriously. I have an account, but I rarely log into it. My wife uses it and enjoys it, but then she keeps in touch with what's going on with relatives in Ireland and Australia and all kinds of stuff, so she gets some kind of usefullness out of it. As for me, I could easily live without it, and essentially do. My wife and I are considering starting a small service-oriented business, at which point I'm sure her acumen at using Facebook will come in handy for marketing purposes, but other than that, I have really no use for it.

I'm way too anti-social for facebook.  I don't care if you're feeling down today or if your kids are adorable.

I joined a while back....don't really know why....but it bores me. I rarely go now. :lookingup:

I joined the herd-got a facebook account-worthless s**t. Like MySpace....garbage egotistical self love. Who gives a f**k about yer day to day drivel? Not me.

Exactly.
I hate facebook, and everything it stands for.

Facebook is..I dont know....wait. Yes I do. It's an excuse.Yeh-I seen some folks from high school. So what.Aint like were gonna get married.I have nothing to say. I like to talk about old horror films. Thats why Im here. Facebook? My life is not that cool,that I feel the need to advertise every second.
Yeh-I tell you guys my life-but thats differnt.Yer a FAMILY I devolped. I trust you. Facebook is just blantent "I love me-look at me!" s**t.

I'm not sure what F#ck is. Is it a musical key, like F#m?

I use Facebook often to rubberneck some of my goofier online contacts.  But I consider dropping it once a week at least.

I utilize it.  Joined years ago, around '05 or '06.  Had a MySpace at the time and initially thought "Why get a FaceBook as well, same type of thing?"

Now, I never use MySpace and don't even remember my password for it.

Somewhere along the lines I've come to the realization that I know close to 300 people.  Even more, actually. :buggedout:

I don't post as much, and if I do, it's usually just a joke or some videos.  Mainly I just read some updates from friends and relatives, many of whom I don't get to see consistently.  There's only so many hours in a day, and with work and family priorities, it's easier to see updates on Facebook.

I got Facebook because all my friends were on it.  I don't use it much, but it comes in hand every now and then.  A college club I attend uses it to post important messages to members; I set up meets up with friends and family outside of school; and I frankly like sharing new things I find with people, so I post the random crap I find there.  Sometimes people really enjoy what I find.

I have one, I'm just not cool enough or care enough to use it constantly. Its honestly boring.

I have one and is on it, but post stuff there not as much.

I have one and use it t keep in touch with family

but it's not facebook as I knew when I joined it years ago, right now it's Politics Book

Sorry to see you go from FB, Ronnie.  But as long as you are 'here', it's all good.


This is pretty much where I am, too. I find I do not spend much time there; I guess I take it pretty casually.  It can be like an e-mail list: it's a quick and easy way to contact people who are on your list.  Mainly, I find and post things that certain people (those who share my various interests) might find interesting - and I get to see their selections of "ooh: shiny!"  It can be fun.

It is useful for keeping up with family and friends, but I rarely make posts.  Mostly using it for hearing about new babies, achievements, marriages (two Marines I knew from years ago got married and recently had their first child), and other important events in the lives of family and friends.  People who constantly post inane things tend to get removed from my list so I can keep the signal to noise ratio low.

I just have twitter

I have Facebook but I'm rarely on it. Honestly the most people I keep in touch with on it are online friends same as I would on this board and a few others I frequent. I like the links sometimes my online friends share, and some of the exclusive groups they've created but honestly other than that, it bores me and I get far more out of this forum and the handful of others I visit.

I have reconnected with a lot of old friends through Facebook, so I go on at least once every day to see if anything interesting is happening. 

It's a good way to keep on top of what relatives are doing, community events, news about specific things I like. Also a much better way to share funny stuff than when people used to email it to everybody in their address book. Also nice if you're in business, for keeping customers informed. Again, better than spamming their email. And for staying in touch with old friends, it allows you to maintain some kind of contact when you a phone call or a visit are either not possible or not something you want to do.

I've experimented with some of the games and apps, but I don't really care much for that kind of stuff, and tend to stay away from it.

Facebook is much better since I installed a few scripts to filter ads, improve navigation, clean up the interface, etc. Gotta love Greasemonkey.

See that's exactly what I think of Facebook - it's great for maintaining some sort of contact with people you don't actually want to talk to.   :smile:

I  was never a member, canceled  mycable, too. Free Yourself.  :bouncegiggle:

You might be surprised to learn that Fukfacebook will keep your data anyway.  A few years ago I was invited to join, and I tried to once - I was informed that my registration FAILED and to please try again.  Well, even that far back I said "f**k facebook."  YET, I started getting notices and invitations as if I were a member...  :question:  Eventually, I went over this past Fall when a friend had died unexpectedly, and I wanted to look at his page (presumably one of the many persons that I initially declined "befriending" because I was anti-fukfacebook).  I then befriended a few people I never see to keep in touch and sh!t, they had an account for me, and a page, anyway!  :question:  I never go there now, I can't be bothered... we have badmovies to visit.  

I think it should be called IN-YOUR-FACE BOOK.

All my few ventures into Facebook got me was extra junk in my e-mail inbox....generally I just delete it all.

With Facebook, you have to go in and edit your preference to turn off notifcations or else they'll send 'em to you regardless and every group you join or someone else adds you to will send you notifications evey time someone makes a post unless you go into each group and turn off notifications...yeah it's all pretty tedious.

     I can't find where it says, "ACCOUNT", so's I CAN unsubscribe.

Eh, I just use it to keep more-or-less on top of what people I care about are doing. Especially since some of them have taken to just posting important things (like: I'm moving, I'm pregnant, etc) on their Facebook and then assuming that you saw it. Naturally, they sometimes get a bit irked if I talk to them later and don't mention their big thing because I didn't check Facebook that day.

Let's just say I won't be posting no nude ass pitchers oeuvre there...  :wink:

I'm wondering if I friended you on FB, Happy: I'm sure I did.  :smile:

(Forgive me The Gravekeeper!) - but this reaction never fails to make me smile: the 'irked' part.  I guess I am not quite on board with the "I'm in the spotlight" aspect, since FB more or less runs far in the background for me, and the "didn't you SEE??" response speaks worlds (especially when it is not all such earth-shaking announcements).  Different lifestyles.

It is strange. I never assume anyone's seen something I've posted on Facebook. I don't really see it as a place to post important things for important people. It's either for relatively trivial things that aren't worth calling everyone up daily and telling them about, or for sharing important news with people who might care to know but aren't really close enough that I'd think to inform them personally. That's where I get baffled by both the people who are so serious about what they post and the people who gripe about all the daily trivia they're supposed to care about. To me, trivial crap is the whole point of Facebook. It's an easy place to share trivial crap without too much trouble, and a convenient way to receive and peruse trivial crap for the interesting bits without it being too much of a nuisance (like people cramming your mailbox with bad jokes or holding you captive for ten minutes with an envelope full of vacation pictures). Facebook makes much more sense when viewed from the perspective that nothing on it is supposed to be earthshaking. If you have important news for important people, you should still either pick up a phone or get in your car.

Agreed. 
And George Takei's posts are hilarious!  Who knew that Mr. Sulu had such an awesome sense of humor?   :bouncegiggle:

Anyone who listens to Howard Stern? :bouncegiggle: :wink:

No.

I see how it is.

I hate that they don't have the notification thing automatically set to "off" unless you switch it on. That said, I'm friends on it with some folks from here...I'll miss RC posting over there but understand his reasons. I've been tempted when I've sent my e-mail box filled full of pointless notifications but I don't because yeah, there's a few folks it allows me to contact I probably couldn't any other way and a few friends on there are from very old friendships established online and I wouldn't want to lose touch as some of the sites we posted on are no longer available....

I probably share more of George's posts than anyone else's, and I've noticed I'm not alone in that.

I only use FB to let people that knew me in school know where I am and how I'm doing and to connect or re-connect with me ~ I do have one strict rule and that is if someone tries to friend me and I do not know them either from here or on the FG boards at the IMDB or I have never known them at all, sorry for you.  :smile:

I think it's a pile of crap and I agree with RC's comments fully. But, I like sharing stuff with friends I now know in real life who have similar interests and keeping in touch with them and my sister because she lives further away.

That can be really interesting. I've discovered I have a lot in common with people that I didn't know about. Facebook can sometimes provide answers to questions you never ask, especially for those of us who aren't very outgoing.

I don't know, I've  met Takei, loved  his Sulu and his his acts, but, he came off  creepy when I met him?

I aint surprised,for some reason.

lol.. what  that he's  creepy?

No...that you find him so. Because he's queer? Or just beacuse he's creepy?
