If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Definately much cooler than myspace. Nobody trying to bling out there page, and much simpler and efficient in design

Does anybody use Bebo? A friend of mine just invited me and I have no ******* clue what's going on. Though that's pretty standard in my life.
Grrr. Argh.

I've signed on to facebook after a mate of mine sent me an E-mail. I'm not as addicted as some of you though.

I've got Facebook, but I barely use it and have like three friends (all ladies though *wink, wink*).
I want to be your friend! Put my face in your book! PUT IT!!!!!!!
My name's Amias. Should be easy to find.

Yeah, my life's pretty much full with all the forgetting to look at my Bebo and MySpace accounts as often as I probably should... got no time to spend getting a facebook.

I only use Hi5 (cause it was the first I got involved with). I keep getting mails from other of those services but I dont have time (its enough with tfsPeru, my blog, the movie board and obviously transfans to get in another thing).

i think anything called "Hi5" should be boycotted on principle.
i also think Bebo is a bit sh*t.

Can't quite seem to work Bebo out... the find people function seems to be powered by Google rather than any form of database... unless I'm doing it wrong. And I really can't be arsed.
Facebook is compulsive as [composite word including 'f*ck'].
Grrr. Argh.

Apart from being very intuitive and a lot easier to use then Myspace...
It just looks skill.
I think it is because it doesn't let you tamper with the layout.
Because frankly, most people are complete mongs, giving them the opportunity to customise their myspace pages gives them a perfect chance to show why they aren't web designers.

I figure no one needs to be subject to my face except my unfortunate RL friends.

I've found just as many people I know in a week on Facebook as in a year on Myspace.
Grrr. Argh.

Hmm, since I sieved through my address books on these things, I've found several hundred addresses I don't know. And Besters.
