Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Moving to Facebook? No. Present on Facebook? Yes. The Ikonboard lasted from March to roughly September 2001, so that was closer to ten years ago. —Alorael, who even remembers you. You not only came and saw, you left an impression!
Ineffable Wingbolt RobertAKARobin Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Holy cow. You're still here, Alorael? Do you still have a new name every day? When I was at Stanford I tried to get in touch with Drakefyre once or twice, because I think he went to school there too. Never reached him, though. Sigh.

(emphasis mine) And it's a good thing too, for if it moved completely I would disappear from the community forever (much as I'd hate to do so, I hate Facebook even more).
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I'm still here and still name-changing. —Alorael, who notes that Drakey showed up here just a couple of days ago and made a few posts. Before that he'd been absent for almost a year.

Before that he'd been absent for almost a year. I noticed that, but I figure that I don't have any authority to announce his return. I've actually seen quite a few oldbies (member numbers <1000) back on the boards recently. I guess they still follow the company enough to see new releases.
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Yeah, I've noticed an oldbie stopping by every now and again. Once a Spiderwebber, always a Spiderwebber, apparently. Originally Posted By: Celtic Minstrel (much as I'd hate to do so, I hate Facebook even more) Same here. Or more accurately, Facebook hates me.
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 If I weren't a high school teen, I would leave Facebook in a flash. There is so much crap on it. If it weren't my primary means of communication with most of my peers, it would get canned. Instead, I'm constantly there.
Garrulous Glaahk MissSea Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Is anyone else having fun trying to put Spiderweb Software forum handles with people on the Facebook site?
Tenderfoot Thahd WittyRuination Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 I don't really see the appeal of Facebook. All it is to me is a bunch of people who joined because they feel like they have to share every tiny aspect of their lives with their friends as their only means of finding acceptance in life. Or maybe I don't like it because I don't have any friends... Anyways, I became a fan just to increase the fan count because I hadn't actually logged on since I created my account to shut up my cousins. Also, this is my first post because I had been too shy to create an account since I started forum-creeping when I was eleven years old.

I think you may be confused. It sounds like you're talking about twitter
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 How is that different from talking to anyone, anywhere.

Well-Actually War Trall In Half Now Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I pretty much use FB just to play games. I try to avoid being social with anyone.

Tenderfoot Thahd WittyRuination Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Reading my previous comment, I realise it sounds a lot like flaming. I had a bad day. Anyways, I guess social networking isn't my thing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that everyone whose thing it is needs to be burnt at a stake. It would be much more efficient just to torch their houses. Just kidding. Also, I think I did confuse Facebook and Twitter. Don't you hate it when old people and newscasters refer to it as The Facebook?

He referred to them interchangeably as "Twitspace," "Twitbook," and "Myface." Then again, one dictionary he had was so old that the only definition listed for "computer" was some kind of accountant...

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Fairly certain. He's also afraid that his cellphone might attack him and/or explode if he presses the wrong button, and is still trying to learn how to program his VCR.
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 All of the people I know who are like that are secretly trolling everyone around them. There are people who are behind the curve when it comes to the latest internet fads and who can't figure out new gizmos, but they're not the ones who loudly proclaim their own fear and obsolescence while using amusingly condescending name confusion with emphasis on the fusion. —Alorael, who is fairly sure that the internet as a whole can be quite reasonably referred to as twitspace. Sure, there are some intelligent, reasonable people, but they're all points in an infinite space of twits. (Okay, that's false. It's the internet is bounded but expanding faster than you can follow, and the number of users is probably similarly expanding.)
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 What? Is he mentally challenged? Because some one should be nice and help him instead of gossiping about him on the internet SurraAgob and noniceKawsk84 2
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Gossiping about stupid people is what the internet is for. Well, that and an interactive collective of billions of human beings working to build a global integrated community to spread knowledge and further understanding. But mainly to point and laugh at stupid people.
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Now that's just cruel Dantius. However, I got my beliefs on how to treat people, and you have yours, I will not get in a war with some one on the internet. I'm just saying that treating anyone with some sort of defect is wrong. adc. 1

And is patiently awaiting the triumphant return of 8-track tapes and Betamax VCRs.
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Originally Posted By: The Mystic No, he's [...] patiently awaiting the triumphant return of 8-track tapes and Betamax VCRs. Pah. Everyone knows that laserdiscs are the wave of the future! I mean, c'mon. It's got "laser" right in the name. How could it not be futuristic?
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Just because it has the name "Laser" in it doesn't mean its futuristic. Is a simple laser light futuristic?
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 ...I was joking. You would know this if you were old enough to have seen/used an actual Laserdisc, which is like a DVD the size of an LP (bet you young whippersnappers don't know what that is either ).
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Originally Posted By: Dantius (bet you young whippersnappers don't know what that [an LP is] either ) I weep for those of you who don't. I'm too young for laserdiscs (though I do at least know about them, and have seen them), but I do still have a MiniDisc player around somewhere...
Tenderfoot Thahd WittyRuination Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I am also too young to have ever used a laserdisc or LP, which is disappointing. I feel like the modernisation of media storage (and most technology, for that matter) has allowed my generation to become rather lazy when it comes to computers. There is almost no effort involved in buying a song from iTunes and listening to it, which has made it possible to know nothing about your computer or networking and still be able to be do things nowadays that would have required actual effort back when CDs were the size of records. I guess I'm kind of a hypocrite, though, because I don't honestly understand many of those processes either. Only so much can be learned from the interwebz.
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 No one is too young to have used an LP. Albums are still released on vinyl.
Tenderfoot Thahd WittyRuination Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Oh you jest! Like I have money! Ha ha ha... *cries* I'll be getting a job soon enough though. Then I might buy one. Of course, I would also need a means of playing it. Oh well, when in doubt, rob a bank.

I grew up in the time when they proudly announced that the TV shows, "were in living color." Although it was about 20 more years before our family upgraded from black and white sets. Now I finally get to see what Star Trek was supposed to look like. I never understood what a red shirt meant until recently.
Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I knew an elderly professor who referred to them as "MyPlace" and "FacePage," but I think he did that deliberately to annoy people. I don't know him that well, but those who do tell me he enjoys the real-life trolling. I think I became old the day I decided this whole "derp" fad was a colossal pain in the collective and personal posterior. Actually, I'm still not entirely behind "sick" as a synonym for good/cool/hip. Though coming to this forum makes me feel young. Bonus points to Dantius for the WorldNetDaily reference. Oh, the Hal Lindsey columns.
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 The best WorldNet Daily column ever was about how eating soy makes you gay. I'm not kidding, they did a six-article "exposé" on it. Finest comedy this side of the Onion. Except they were't doing it intentionally, which made it all the funnier.
Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Classic. Have they picked up the big Abortionplex story yet?
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 To dantius: No I don't. I'm twelve...do you expect me to know what it is? And besides why do you need records, DVDs, or Lasordisks when you can have razor-disks! Them good old vahnatai.
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 The joke was not exclusively for you. . .

Not to worry; last time I checked, turntables were still fairly cheap.
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 My family still has our laserdisc player, about 10 laserdiscs, and we assume all of the above work! Who wants to watch the original Star Wars with me, where you have to flip the disc over right before the final battle?

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 You should look at the post count and signature and realize it's a spambot. maybe this topic should be locked since iirc it was hit by spambots not too long ago. maybe the word "Facebook" is attracting them.
