Once I saw my nephew Kevin (from Ossie )on Facebook but the Ossie dialect and 'choice ' language! was a bit too much for me.
Much prefer this site especially when Cashman talks posh!!

Don't know what to do !

Just had a suggestion from one of my 'friends' to invite a certain member beginning with 'L' and ending with 'ess' to invite him to become my friend.

Decisions, decisions.

Re: Is Facebook affecting forums?

Also had a look at Facebook, lots of Lads & Lasses from Old units are on but I really wasn't to keen from a security aspect, plus the thought of Hundreds of people I'd never heard of wanting to be my friend...WHY ? So gave it a wide berth & anyway I'd sooner "Converse" with lots of strange Folk on here

You dont have to sign up with your real name you know.

You can join facebook under a pseudonym and as long as you do not say anything too personal on there your fine.
Use another email address than your normal one too, on an account with a limited address book.

So I'm told. :-)

Why?

You can easily find other people & join them, tell them who you really are in private.

It is the use of your real name on facebook & forums that leaves people liable to ID theft.

My real name is not really Matty Lad, but its good enough for the forums & for me to be known by, just not enough for someone to steal my ID.

Re: Is Facebook affecting forums?

I find it OK if you are very selective -unless a known friend actually suggests someone to you just Ignore the request - Basic common sense, if you don't want to be friends with someone, then don't, just like real life.

I can't do with facebook at all.
I find it phony...all these folk want to be your friend, without knowing anything about you. Heck, you could be an axe murderer for all they know.
I have had a few invites and they wind me up no end.
I mean why would you be on Facebook? Really, why would you??
