ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 13731 28-Jun-09 10:54 PM Yuku Help	I also did something like that for junk snail mail. Junk snail mail is easy to deal with, just tape an empty label over your address, put their address on the label instead and send it back using a 1 cent stamp. Inside the envelope, put a note with your address and tell them you are not interested. They'll remove your address from the mailing list in a hurry. I wish they would do something about junk email. I have my email open all day long and delete the junk as it comes in, so I'm not really sure how much junk mail I receive, but one time I know that I had 1000 (one thousand) junk mails in two days. I clean out my trash every night before I log off. Between the junk mail and other mails I don't need to keep, I delete probably around 500 mails a day. It's not too painful when you stay on top of it, but it is a bit annoying though. I only use web based email, and refuse to set up outlook or anything similar on my computer. I can't even imagine having to load all that junk mail. You can get in touch with Facebook's Customer Service Chris, but they hide the link very carefully to cut down on the amount of complaints they get. I have the link as a note on my Facebook profile but here it is Wow thanks. I think I'll stay clear from them for now. I need all my spare time and energy to fight my ISP, lol I will look into it later though because it is annoying, plus I have very bad eyesight which prevents me from reading captchas, so I have to take a screen shot first, then send it to someone and then they tell me what to type. If I'm lucky I can read the captchas half of the time on facebook.

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 13731 29-Jun-09 8:55 AM Yuku Help	Actually, until this topic was started I had hardly been on facebook at all. The only thing I was using facebook for was to write quick messages back and forth on a friend's wall each time we were arranging a day and time to go out. I used to be a very active gamer and would spend up to 4 hours a day maintaining my games, but eventually I got too busy with yuku and gave up on the games. Just this past weekend, I decided to try a new game and abandon all the other ones but it probably won't last, I have a 5 gig cap on my bandwidth usage, so if I see that it is eating too much of my bandwidth, I'll have to quit.

When I first joined FB, I thought it was a silly place. But now I really like it and I go there on a daily basis when I have time. I abandoned MySpace though, which was once my favorite social network.

I have had fun and made many friends on ezboard/Yuku for nine years now! Isn't that social networking?? :-) Facebook is more introvert for people not wanting to socialize...... or?

Posts: 821 1-Jul-09 4:40 PM	Well, I have a whole bunch of friends over there, many of them real life friends. For whatever reason, they just weren't interested in message boards. You know the saying: Different strokes for different folks. Just because people like different things, it doesn't mean that any of them are wrong or right. It is just a matter of choice and options.

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 1775 1-Jul-09 6:07 PM The puck stops here	I started using Facebook a few months ago, thinking it would just be something I accessed once in a while to check up on my nieces now that they live 900 miles away. Instead it's become a daily addiction and my 72 yo mother is hooked too. We both enjoy several apps and we've reconnected with old friends. Many of my FB friends would have no interest in my yuku board, since it is a board for a single interest. I did restore the social links image on my board so that I could "share" topics on my facebook page.

Posts: 837 2-Jul-09 4:14 AM	many of them real life friends How do you define that? With close friends I mostly e-mail to keep up the regular contact for I talk on the phone or headset with them. What I don't understand is it looks like many people have moved their private conversations from their e-mail to Facebook. It is like having a private conversation in the middle of a huge group of people. What happened to e-mails and phone calls? To me it looks a bit like a show off. It is trendy! I am probably too old! What I tried to explain is I have got so many real friends through my message board. Some of them live nearby and still, I would never have met them without the board.

Yuku is more communal, with individuals being secondary to communities. I use facebook for friends I already know. A small handful of those are people I've never met face to face, but have a long term friendship with. And some of those friendships did start on a bulletin board, or with people I've worked with. But I don't use facebook to meet new people. Facebook doesn't have the sophistication of a fully featured forum where you can socialise and get to know people on an informal level before adding them to the inner circle or your friends list.

Yesterday I talked on the phone for a long time with one of my Facebook online friends whom I will be meeting soon in person. It was a lot of fun. I tried several social networking websites and I liked none of them except Facebook. Once I thought MySpace was good, but not anymore. Facebook is THE best. Your online home is where your friends are. Last Edited By: TigerLady 2-Jul-09 4:57 AM. Edited 1 time.

LOL LOL I think you have that in common with most people. Very few of my friends use Facebook or the Internet at all. We are too old! But sometimes it is faster to meet more people online if you live out in the district or is in any way disabled. My country is very long stretched and the distances are huge. Most Norwegians I know that find a partner now, have met them online first. It is very convenient when very few people live in your part of the world. Last Edited By: Sunshine56 2-Jul-09 9:24 PM.

Posts: 1295 2-Jul-09 4:17 PM	Granted that is not the say that I haven't met interesting people on the net.Some of the more engaging ones have been through ezboard and Yuku.I value my friendship with them as much as do with people I deal with face to face, but I don't use the net to find people, I come in contact with many as part of conducting my normal Internet activities. Although I'm not I am not using the Internet to find 25-45 y/o psychically fit single available straight Caucasian woman between 4' 11" and 5'6" with no baggage and love the outdoors, if I come in contact with one along way I won't complain. Facebook is a meat locker, should be called assbook. Last Edited By: Bad to the Bone Bob 2-Jul-09 4:19 PM. Edited 1 time.

The great thing about the Internet is you're able to get to know people living far away and in other nations. Not to mention the possibility of learning other cultures and languages.

The only game I play at the moment is mafia wars. My country is very long stretched and the distances are huge. Most Norwegians I know that find a partner now, have met them online first. Many of my friends met their partners on line also. I think it's as good a way of meeting someone as anywhere else. Lol all we have here miles around, is one local bar, visited by the same people who go for their daily beer after work and play some darts.
