That's so interesting Omega-man, as a number of the young adults I come into contact with at uni feel the same way! ;) ;)

I grant you that Kris, but over 180 members have posted over 400 times. ;)
But best of luck to those who do like using Facebook, as I know hundred of thousands do in the UK (pop. 61 million) :D :D ;)
-
tbh i didn't even know that we had a page on facebook, not that it matters.
but a question with regards to the previous posts...
what is better to have??
180 members that regularly post?
or over 4000 that do it when they have the time??
In my opinion i think it is better to have 180 regulars..... :-? :-? :-? :-?

I use facebook & I'm no teenager !!!!
Joined too many causes & groups as it is on there without having another 1

Age has nothing to do with it...
i find some of these comments a little offensive, i'm 34 and a trucker, so i'm not in the older bracket or the teenager bracket.
I use facebook to keep in contact with family and friends around the country.
Just because you may not have enough friends to warrant a facebook page doesn't mean that other users should be tarnished with the same brush !!! >:( >:( >:(

Sorry love but cool it a bit! ::) ::) ::) Why do you find my comments offensive?? :o :o :( :( :(
If you read this thread properly you will see that I DID myself use Fb for two years, and had hundreds of friends, many I knew and still know at University, let alone around the country!! :D :D ;)
The point I was making, backed up interestingly by an 18 year old, and echoed by many "youngsters" at uni, is that it is NOT for everyone. That's all!! ::) ::)
Many like, but many do not. What is offensive in that fact!! ::) ::) ::)
In fact I find your comments suggesting I do not have friends (because I am not on Fb?!! ) offensive mate! >:( >:( >:( >:(

wahey!! handbags!! ;D ;D

wahey!! handbags!! ;D ;D

Me thinks you forgot zimmers :D ;D

;D :D ;D

i dont use facebook, i think its very childish. ::) ::) ;) ;)
-
wahey!! handbags!! ;D ;D
Indeed! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
But once again somebody expresses an opinion on the OOF, in this case me, and you end up being insulted, as we have seen recently in other threads!!
Is no one aloud to express opinions nowadays?? Is this the type of society we have now?? ::) ::) ::)
I believe in free speech, with the freedom to express opinions, but without resorting to insult.
To make it clear I fully understand anyone wanting to use sites like Facebook, which I once did. That's it, no argument, no suggestion I believe no one should, just that I do not want to along with hundreds of thousands of others! What is wrong with that?? ::) ::) ::)
-
yaeh i agree lizzie..thats the second time in a week you've been shot down while excercising free speech and opinions.

Thanks SidewaysMV6!! :D :D :D ;)
It just feels at the moment that placing anything on the OOF, including trying to give members assistance, is like walking on eggshells ready for the next obscenity or insult!! :( :( :(
This, as I have stated before, is spoiling the enjoyment of this site and gives me reason to think is it worth it??!! ::) ::)
-

try calling this place cliquey, you'll get shot down and then shot again and they keep on shooting. so much for free speech.

I for one am gettinga little tired of the fact that some can not recognise that we are all different.
Its time we accepted this and stopped the bickering

Lizzie has simply expressed her opinion.In no way has she been unpleasant or insulting in what she has had to say.
But ,I do think that your comments regarding Lizzie as having no friends has been said with a certain amount of venom.
Not nice ,not necessary and not needed. :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-*
-
he never said she has no friends
-
he never said she has no friends
Thanks Dusty!! 8-) 8-) :y
No Kris he did not say "no" friends, but what he said was bad enough. In anycase, emotions aside, what are these "friends" who fill a page on Facebook (don't forget I have, and still have them!!)? They basically are people just 'collecting' other people to see who can collect most!! ::) ::)
Yes many will be known to you, and be great physical friends, but the vast majority of possibly hundreds you will collect you will never know!!
Once more, I am NOT knocking it, but it is just not for me, especially since they redesigned the Fb site. ;) ;)

Being a relatively fresh face on this forum (if not in real life) :( I have always found Ms Zoom's comments to have been balanced, informative and amusing :) indeed this forum benefits from such a rich collective of opinion.
Regarding FB I would have thought that in todays surveillance society the less we revealed about our personal circumstances, the better :-X
Please don't do anything too rash Ms Zoom, this forum would the poorer without you :y :y

Yes, that is very true! People have already lost their jobs, and tenants (bad ones though!! ::) ::)) evicted from their home due to their entries on Fb!! :o :o ;)
Sometimes I am sure some of us say too much on the OOF!! ::) ::) Never know who is watching, and recording! :D :D ;)

so why have you all got a downer on face book
-
i haven't got a downer with facebook, maybe a little where everyone seems to treat it with the regards that it is only for kids, or a competition to see how many friends you can get.
-
some people like it,some people dont,god knows why there is 3 pages of discussion about that. :-/ ::)
-
i know....
i thought that.
and it all started with "oof on facebook"...
-

-

i reply to every message put on facebook, i have about 57 friends. seems a lot have friends for the sake of it, i cant see the point of it to be honest. its more down to insecurity and wanting to improve ones image as mr or mrs popular. my profile is private and it will stay that way. ive nothing to hide so nothing to worry about.
and i do belong to the group "there is no excuse for shagging mingers after a few beers". ;D ;D ;D
-
Unlike most people, I'm not afraid to admit I have no friends. In fact, I prefer no friends.

Unlike most people, I'm not afraid to admit I have no friends. In fact, I would love to have lots of friends but everyone says I am a miserable tinker so they wont be my friends.
:y :y :)

OK. That too :y

Like most things in life Facebook can be mis-used. Im an old git ludite at heart and dont see the point as, if I want to talk to someone Ill either pick up the phone or maybe even write them a letter! FFS Im only just getting the hang of this internet lark and cant even text!! ;D.That said, I know an awful lot of people, including workmates and my kids, who do use it a lot and, in itself, I dont see anything wrong with it BUT I do know a lot of people who have got themseves in a fair amount of sh*t with partners/work through using Facebook!!Whether this is simply down to their own stupidity is a moot point but personally Id worry about the whole privacy factor of Facebook/msn etc..

i know it can be mis-used, and according to the media it often is.
but that is the same with most things.
a oof facebook page is just another way of advertising the forum, so properly maintained it can only be a good thing??
-
Steve, I dont see any problem at all with an oof facebook, just that for myself Im quite happy to just use the forum at the moment and enjoy that. :y

I've recently joined facebook despite reservations already stated. I have asked everyone to stop sending me egg, heart, yo'ville, mafia & god knows what else requests which they have done as i've no time to sift through them every night, each to thier own though.
On the plus side I've got in touch with an old schoolmate & a lady friend i always had a thing for (we never did too complicated back then) but it's great to chat to her now. I also love my facebook farm. You only talk to registered friends & few OOF members are on there.
Lizzie. If it's not for you we can still be mates on here!!xxx
-
exactly right....
everyone has a different perseption of everything....
if you like facebook, great.
if not, don't use it...
i use it, but i also use forums.
i also use my mobile, a bit too much, thats why i try and chat online....
but thats me.

Of course!! ;D ;D ;) That is what I was saying throughout my posts, Facebook is not for me, but for others it is great. Nothing to fall out over. ::) ::) :D :D ;)
