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.

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.

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.

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.

Its actually rare for me to even have a photo of myself. This is me now.

Disgruntled Intern 07-19-2011 08:14 AM

No, what I mean is that the things I share with the people here aren't always shared with my facebook friends [90% of which are my 'real life' friends], so the idea of people from the forums who have read things about my life that my other friends don't know about, then getting on my facebook and possibly mentioning something I've blogged about on my wall or something, I don't know. I think my friends would be offended that I'm often sharing more with you guys than I am with them.

As far as blocking status updates, fuck that. I know a few of my family members have 'hidden' my posts, but that offends me not. it's quite understandable, really.

I don't care if my friends are offended, my "real life" friends aren't really suitable or mature enough for me to share things with them that I do here.

It's not a matter of maturity or suitability in my case. If I didn't find my friends mature or suitable enough to fit into my life, they wouldn't be in it. I think the reason I share things with you guys instead of them is because you're so separated from my actual life. Which I guess goes back to why I'm wary of adding any of you on facebook.

Wings of Fire 07-19-2011 08:41 AM

I get it. Mixing friend circles can have weird consequences.

Like that one time I introduced Cammy to OANST.

I keep my real life friends as friends simply because they are highly entertaining and we get on well and all that, but for serious moments and problems and things like that, OWF and various friends I have around the world who I sadly don't know in person are the ones I turn to who always help me.

That's a pretty sad state of affairs.

Sekto Springs 07-19-2011 10:08 AM

If it makes you feel any better, I'm a pretty innocuous fella on Facebook. I'm not going to chime into your personal affairs unless I know you well enough to do so, or they somehow involve me. And I'll probably only ever see your posts through the news feed.

Most of the people I've added from OWF rarely say anything relevant to me or something I'm involved with.

I do sometimes like to tag people in retarded photos of things that have nothing to do with them. If you'd like me to leave you out of that, just let me know.

CrissCross 07-19-2011 02:14 PM

i added a bunch of dicks who keep spamming my profile like "hey i saw you in town once lets meet up"...

why did i add them O.o ...

Then you should join some of the dating sites im on, the things people say to me on there XD oh boy...

Wings of Fire 07-19-2011 02:44 PM

You are such a twink.

Haha xD hey has a girl ever added you and started talked to you because i know you're like gay and stuff?

JennyGenesis 07-19-2011 04:01 PM

Let me think?

YES!

I may be gay, but is there some rule that states I can't have friends who are girls?

Of course girls have added me and spoken to me, because, you know, I accept the friend request in the first place because I know them and they will talk to me because we are friends......IDIOT!

You shouldn't feel bad for feeling that way really :P
I put off adding anyone on owf to my fb when I decided to just make a separate profile for online buddies.

I really really hate the thought of mixing rl and online together. Mainly because I have an image to keep up irl, or rather the lack of. I don't really want the people I added to my rl profile to stalk me and see what I'm talking with online people about. On the internet I tend to be more brave and be more myself in ways that my real life acquaintances and friends would probably find weird.

Anyway, if you feel you'd like to add people from owf guiltlessly and worryless, you could always make a new profile :p

Too, boy. Do I ever know what you're talking about!

Oh, and combining with CrissCross' post, I once had a guy message me on a dating site to tell me that he'd seen me on the tram and did I live nearby? He was blocked rather quickly.
