I get added by randomers on here.
Other than the Tf2 group and Furburt I don't see why people want to be my friend, but hey I don't mind.
I add people sometimes if they're decent enough people.

Another non-facebook-er?! Here I am thinking I'm alone in the world.Julianking93 said:
The only place I get added a lot on is xbox live, strangely it doesn't happen on PSN.
I'll get a random message from someone I've never met before every now and then, but not to often.
I have around 100 friends on my Friends list here and out of them all maybe 5 of them are from random people and the same goes for my Xbox account.

That pretty much describes my situation as well. I refuse to join Facebook, mostly because I don't trust it.Commander Jack Rankin said:Nope I'm not on the Book O' Faces, despite my sister's best efforts to entice me into that world. I'd probably join if I could set my status to read, "I'm doing the same shit I was five minutes ago, don't you have something better to do?"
I usually only get random people who want me to join their team on games. If i get any bother from them then they get booted.
The greatest use of Facebook is simply the photo sharing. The rest of it is largely tacked on but the real selling point that makes FB worthwhile is the photo sharing and tagging.Commander Jack Rankin said:Nope I'm not on the Book O' Faces, despite my sister's best efforts to entice me into that world.

Thank goodness for Facebook's "mutual friends" feature. I can usually figure out who people are by that. But yeah, I get annoyed by the people who try to add me for no reason. I don't know them, so I won't be friends with them. On Escapist and such, of course, but Facebook had my real information and such on it.
Ah you kids with your Facebooks and MySpaces... back in my day, we had Yahoo Messenger. We can talk about some freak stories on there (pre-User room deletion days). However, I'm a little more up to date on the techno-hood, so I've got Facebook, MySpace, Ustream, YouTube, and my own little lonely corner of the Escapist on here. I've had strange requests on FB from people who just search the name, disregard the location and assume I'm someone they know/knew. Some of the time, they are about half the country off if they bother to write me a message first to help avoid confusion. I do take the time to politely respond to them, however, I never get a thank you message in return. Apparently it is fine to take up my time with a false request, but not to apologize for it when it comes out you've made a mistake.
Scoot in close kids, I've got a little story to share on this topic regarding FB. My half brother and I have been estranged for over a decade now, and life has been just fine without him. Roughly about a month and a half or two months ago, his current wife sent me a message on FB asking if I am the guy who is the brother to her husband. Strange, considering this guy hasn't bothered to want to get in touch with me for all this time and then to send his wife to try and re-connect. Ah, but the plot thickens. She wanted to add me, but I was skeptical on the reasoning behind it, so we wrote back and forth a few more times as I insisted that if my brother wanted to contact me, he could do so on my private email and not through FB as I really have nothing good to say about the guy. She strongly resisted this at first because she was doing this behind his back to try and bring the family back together again "for their kids' sake" (yeah, never met his kids, was not invited to this last wedding and didn't even know his wife's name until I had to look it up a couple of years ago when we heard he had moved, mom likes to keep tabs). What bugged me was this total stranger attempting to reconnect our family on some misplaced idea that she was this ultimate reunion-er that somehow could undo 10 years of silence because she was married to my brother and they squirted out some kids? What does that have to do with me? I did the responsible thing and had a little meeting with my other brother and my mom and asked them both if they really wanted to be in contact with my half-brother again. We unanimously decided no, so I informed my half-brother's wife that we wanted nothing to do with this... politely, of course. There were too many old wounds and bad memories that we did not wish to relive in order to make this stranger happy. She took the news VERY personally (mind you, she was sneaking around my half-brother's back in order to arrange something that clearly none of us wanted in the first place) and proceeded to email me a long message back telling me what a horrible person I was for not wanting to get to know her, their kids (she really went on about their kids) and how happy she was with him and that I was making the biggest mistake of my life for not wanting to be an uncle to her apparently wonderful kids. Then she blocked me from messaging her back and clearly washed her hands of the whole thing. For this random broad judging someone she doesn't know, I'm surprised she doesn't get nose-bleeds constantly from the high horse she has perched herself on to be able to make judgements like that which don't agree with her opinions (yeah, show me a woman who DOESN'T do that!), and then took it upon herself to have the last word. Where she gets off on her crazy train of thought is beyond me, but it burned my ass that first she attempts to invade my life, then gets pissed when I want nothing to do with her. What the hell is wrong with people, anyway? I don't know her, I don't want to know her, and she's had a good four or five years to make this attempt before. Why she picked now is just strange... but that is the price you pay for making yourself available for search on social networking sites. It tends to draw out the weirdos from time to time.

Counterstrike is really, really bad for that. The servers I play on are full of fucktards and I'm pretty sure it's well and truly into the realms of sexual harassment the way they carry on when girls are playing. A week or so later, the majority of the guys are calling the girl a slut and treating her like crap because apparently girls on CS go around to fat, sweaty nerds houses and sleep with them. It doesn't matter that the nerd lives in his mum's basement in Sydney and the girl lives in Darwin, the circle of moronity has spoken, therefore it must be true that she is a slut.willard3 said:

I really hate a lot of people on CS.
Facebook and Myspace have become nothing more than a contest to see who has the most friends (played mostly by girls) and a site for misunderstood teenagers to come together and not understand each other, respectively.
If you enjoy these sites, then pay no attention to me, as that was meant to be a joke, but there is some truth to it.
That being said, I have ignored people on facebook before, but not often. I accept the friend requests of the random strangers and the people from my incredibly small hometown who feel that they deserve to be my friend because we have the same high school in common, disregarding the fact that I may have never spoken to the person in real life and will most definatley speak to them over the internet.
Those people annoy me, and I don't know why I accept their request. Maybe it's because I'm a masochistic *****, but more likely its because I feel obligated.
Uh... end rant I guess.

Well I posted a scathing comment about DJ Hero on my friend's Facebook status, one of his female friends took exception to this and added me. Now many months later she is my best friend and part time love interest! Ah the power of wit...
