Well I for one deactivated my Facebook account last week.

For the socially inactive among us it's just depressing.

Calling me socially inactive?

Actually, you may not be too far wrong. All it enables me to do is to keep up to speed with some of my acquantancies back at home while I am away at uni. Otherwise, it is a lot of dross, even from my uni mates! (Unless it is discussing assignments, of course, away from the official module discussion boards, which the module leaders respond to with official guidance...).

Yeah, damn kids! I'm 19, so you be the judge of whether that's hypocritical.

You barely escape. I am thinking 15 years old. That supposed talk is perhaps exaggeration, but my sister was 15 years old two years ago and told similar stories...

When I was 15, only the most extreme geeks had the internet. Only they knew what it was. Probably the closest thing to the internet I'd seen at the time was Prestel.

Being 15 myself, that conversation isn't that far off.

15? I thought you were older than that.

[rant]You're pretty much spot on. Facebook's getting worse with every passing day.

You are not missing much.

Yeah, I don't think I've mentioned my actual age on this forum before. Now that I think about it, I joined the forum in 2009 which makes me the original youngest member of the forum! If Jeroen were still here, he would be quite annoyed.

My word, you would too. I think the progression of the honour would be you > Mr De Bock > Jeroen > Metcalf or something along those lines.

Didn't FMecha say that he was younger than Jeroen at some point.

For all I know he probably did. My memory's always been pretty dodgy anyway.

Mate I know exactly what you mean. There's this jem I found yesterday:
Girl's status:

Friend replies: Aww chick what's wrong?
Girl replies: Oh nothing.

(rant) Then why the bathplug did you put that as a status then you attention seeking [insert abusive word] (rant.)

So if none of us really care that much about Facebook, why don't we all follow shinji's lead? (Although I have already decided to do so in two years' time...)

And I remember shinji being picked on in 2009 for being one of the youngsters on this forum at the time...

I tell you why I keep facebook. When I have a bad day at work, social life or whatever (come on, it happens to all of us), I go on facebook and read everyone else's terrible, meaningless and pointless statuses and immediately feel btter about my life.

It's like watching Jeremy Kyle or The Springer Show. No matter how shite your day can be, it's probably better than the toothless numpties you see on those shows.

Call me whatever you want, but I'll bet I'm not alone...

I have no real reason to get Failbook as there is only one person I would really want to talk to. (and I see her fairly regularly in real life anyway).

One of being the pertinent word. Sure I'm 18 in a couple of weeks, I was definitely never the youngest here. May have acted as if I was though back in the day :oops:

Post by **Londoner** » 18 Apr 2012, 13:42

Facebook isn't too bad for me nowadays, after I de-friended all of the 'plastics' (girls who wear tons of make-up, gossip about anything, and generally not very nice people, as well as being dumb as shite) and chavs last year.

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 18 Apr 2012, 15:48

I must say that having mostly adult friends on facebook helps avoiding most of the grievances posted here. I can keep in touch with foreign friends and I am usually not that bombarded with crap. Often people post some good music that I wasn't aware of!

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 18 Apr 2012, 20:37

Oh, i love to respond to statusus of people i don't actually know that well, yes, i'm that annoying guy (that's why only one of the rejects-forumites has been so stupid to actually add me as a friend, and probably often regretted it :lol:

)
and discussing politics of course, just because i can

Peer pressure.

It runs in everybody's lives...

Facebook isn't too bad, but it isn't too great either.

I've deployed my KERS and nipped past Aerond to take 26th place. I'm now 27-28 behind James and then I've cracked the top 25!

As expected, revision has decimated the amount of time I can spend on here, as well as being extra careful using this forum at the moment because of the virus/hack stuff flying about. So, AdrianSutil has bolted away from me now

Ye gods, the spread of youngsters here is even more rife than I'd thought! At least on Faceache I'm around people my own age... or a bit less. I think the youngest victim of my contacts' list is 20, and the oldest three are all in their sixties.

Just be thankful that most on the youngsters here are surprisingly mature for their age. That being said, I've probably progressed from a surprisingly mature 13 year old when I joined to a surprisingly immature not quite 17 year old over my time on the forum. :lol:

I don't think I'm that immature despite the fact that 85% of my posts are pure crap.

I'm 18 and I kinda rely on facebook, mainly on the events bit because we usually organise parties and pub trips.

The one annoying thing is those couple of girls that are laid more times than a pile of bricks blaming the entire male population for their boyfriend cheating on them. What goes around comes around, I suppose.

Facebook is godawful, students are always posting the same things to the point their personalities seem mass produced. Nothing interesting ever happens, it's more like a tick in the life box. You must have this, this and this. Facebook is a commodity, not entertaining.
