That only happens to you don't want to talk to any one.

fix'd

Ridg3 07-18-2011 12:34 PM

Then why would it pop to him?

I honestly wish they gave you the option to hide the entire FBChat system from your UI. All it is to me is an annoying, ugly, redundant grey box saying that I'm offline. If I want to talk to people about something that isn't going to be a minute chat about how none of you are doing anything at all, I'll use private messages.

Mr. Bungle 07-18-2011 01:15 PM

I like Facebook. It makes keeping in contact with people very easy, and works great as an online photo album, so to speak.

I don't really see all the kerfuffle caused by this new FBchat, it doesn't really bother me at all. Though I would like the ability to toggle the "redundant grey box" on and off if I choose to be offline... which is most of the time.

Phylum 07-18-2011 01:58 PM

I hate the sound. I muted it promptly after joining.

JennyGenesis 07-18-2011 02:06 PM

People in college liked to play a game over Facebook,

Keep sending chat message so that the anoying pop sound keeps playing over and over again.

Is it Farmville?

Thats totally the best game evar :lol:

JennyGenesis 07-18-2011 04:36 PM

I just stated what the "game" was in the same post.

Unless it is me and my inability to detect jokes in text.

Crashpunk 07-18-2011 04:48 PM

Yeah I was joking. Pretty much all FB games are a pile of shit.

Agreed. I remember when i got so addicted to farmville it got to the point where i walked to my mates who lives like ten blocks away just to harvest my crops.

Darkest days of my life.

Mr. Bungle 07-18-2011 08:55 PM

Wow dude, you've got balls to admit that in front of all the elitist assholes on here.

I think you missed the point. The point being that the game was to annoy people by making their computers beep. I will now post an overused ASCII test-image-thing...

Anyone who can communicate with you is your friend? Is your idea of a girlfriend a girl you met waiting in a dentist's waiting room who was willing to spend five seconds talking to you about why Ugg boots combined with short-shorts is the best thing to happen to fashion since zippers?

Anyone who can communicate with him on Facebook, dingbat.

Uhhh... you can do that. It hasn't shown up for me since day one.

As for me, I like Facebook as a tool to keep in touch with friends around the world and acquaintances I feel warmly towards but not warmly enough to actually spend time with.

I'm well aware, I was just rubbing his rhubarb.

Enlighten me, please.

Be honest, who's profile picture consists of them standing in a mirror with their mobile phone? like everybodies profile pictures seem to be these days.

Phylum 07-19-2011 02:51 AM

I love my profile picture. Simplicity.

EDIT: I'd never realised just how different that shade was to my avatar here.

Manco 07-19-2011 02:54 AM

If I ever join Facebook I will make my profile picture a screenshot of my profile page.

And then update it every week or so.

My profile picture is a piece of graffiti that Sekto Springs did.

STM 07-19-2011 04:40 AM

My picture was made by Dixanadu. I like it because it has bees in it. Bees are my friends.

There are to types of photos on facebook: camwhores, and normal other ones...

JennyGenesis 07-19-2011 05:43 AM

My profile picture is simply the photo of me showing off my nails

Disgruntled Intern 07-19-2011 07:35 AM

I added sekto on facebook and now I feel weird about it.

JennyGenesis 07-19-2011 07:44 AM

Why do you feel weird about it?

Disgruntled Intern 07-19-2011 07:48 AM

Because I've always been pretty firm about not adding people from the forums on facebook. But then I added Nate, and then Sekto, for some stupid reason. Slippery slope.

STM 07-19-2011 07:53 AM

I don't see what the problem is, if you're friends with them here why not on fb too? I have friends here that I added on fb as well, doesn't really matter.

Disgruntled Intern 07-19-2011 08:03 AM

Because facebook is the gateway to my personal life. While I've shared some pretty personal stuff with you turds in my blogs, I've been incredibly selective. But even in being selective, the things I've shared are things that some of my facebook friends don't always know about. Having the two things merge is unsettling for me.

JennyGenesis 07-19-2011 08:08 AM

You can block certain people from seeing certain things, I've blocked my parents from my status updates, since sometimes I like to bitch and moan about them and religion.
