Who does Facebook?

[Son of Pappy]

To keep the loonies at bay I used a screen name vs real name.  For those who use it, I'm SOP Dirt-Rider, super easy way to share pics and trips, just please, no frigging drama

Do they have an Arena?

[Strawboss]

I've heard anyone that goes to that God forsaken site gets drawn into the vacuum and all life is sucked out of them as they spend more and more time wasting time that can never be gotten back acting like grade schoolers.

Pardon my anglo-saxon...but bollocks to facebook. Does it actually serve any purpose other than for some people to advertise their own mediocrity? I mean, twitter and the other rubbish.  Dear god....    John

I agree cugsy. Unless you can click,copy, and post without having to upload to a web supported photo site like photobucket, how could it be easier? I think this is what the OP is saying, because if you go to FB and post your name, you may very well get hundreds of requests from folks who are looking for others with your name. So go to FB and upload your pics very easy like and tell others to do the same without having to go through the hassle of the other way. Am I correct?

Nope.  Ain't prudent.  Ain't gonna do it.  I only smoke one kind of crack and it's this forum.  Can't handle any more vices..

To some FB becomes a big part of their life, barring their soles for all to see.  Using some alternative name allows some privacy and the ability to avoid the BS that goes with family squabbles.  My first attempt at FB ended up in drama and the process to delete your account is mind blowing.  By being annonymous I can ignore the friends request without adding drama.

FWIW, I only rejoined as a bit of marketing strategy, seems there are alot of folks who think you be strange if you don't have an account   I once got into a political conversation, when I became the devil to a few I backed out and swore to myself, never again, if I want to discuss my views I will keep it in the Arena, a place designed for such activity.

Creating photo albums of some recent adventure is a snap and a good way to share a bit with many who may otherwise be left out.

Just be VA Jim and post as ya see fit

I perfectly understand cactus and Jim, you are strong like me and many others in not drinking the kool-aid.

[gPink]

...or just too old to give a sh!t.

[Strawboss]

Hey, who you callin old?!

[Pokey]

I am a fan of FB.........like anything else in life, it is what you make it.

[Scaffolder]

I am on it way more than I should. I am a sucker for the games too.

[Son of Pappy]

So, no new friend requests?

[Gumby]

I lime to debate gun laws and politics with some of the extreme libtards that visit.

[timsatx]

I am on it. It was really just a way to keep up with what the kids are up to. It ended up that a bunch of my old friends and family are on it and it is a way for us to keep in contact without having to specifically write that person. I don't post much, mainly responding to others posts.

[Conrad]

Nope, don't do it. Never had any interest in that mess.

[Mister Tee]

I really have no use for it, personally.  There is a reason I don't use my real name on Internet forums.  Several, actually.

I use it. It helps me keep in touch with extended family. With people I would otherwise completely loose track of. Someone said it serves for some to advertise their mediocrity. Yes there is some truth to that. But I see some stuff from my granddaughter or my nieces and nephews that are just day to day stuff but interest me because they are my family. The kind of stuff that might go into a letter that never gets written but does get posted on FB. The one advice I give to anyone, especially intemperate teenagers, before hitting the "post" button, read it again but imagine reading it on the front page of the NY Times. If it still looks good, post it.
