Just curious people's opinions of Facebook and if people are planning on leaving it?

I like it, but I've pretty much stripped down my FB page to my name, so people can contact me.

I have a love-hate relationship with Facebook. It's an easy way for me to keep in touch with my friends and family. It's been great as far as letting my parents keep up with what's going on with my kids in video and pictures. On the other hand, I have a bunch of "friends" on there that are people I knew in high school and only accepted the friend requests because of our reunion last year. There are some I'm glad I got to catch up with and a couple I didn't hang out with in school, but now that we're adults we've got more in common. Then there are the majority that I regret ever adding.
4WFG uses it for posting product annoucements, showing previews of products, a weekly journal I'm in the rotation for, etc. Not to mention networking with a lot of other Third Party Publishers. Just in terms of being a small fry RPG writer, it's somewhat necessary, or at least helpful. Plus it's the easiest way to keep in touch with some relatives and friends. Now, if I could stop playing their Mafia games, that'd be great...
Love it. I only have about 50 contacts or so, for you know, real friends and family. Unlike some dumb people who leave it open to everyone to read and add everyone they remember (aka 500+ contacts). People blame Facebook for what? You're the ones who leave your privacy settings wide open. Don't complain for being a noob.

I love my facebook for keeping up with what my friends are doing. I dont see why I would get rid of it.
I like FB back when it was just for folks in school. When it went global (so to speak), it went downhill. I don't really use it all that often anymore. I only use it to stay in touch with some old friends. I've got a buddy in Iraq now, and i chat with him on FB. My wife is quite active on it, but she has a ton of friends.
As long as I had email addresses/contact info from my friends, I could ditch FB w/o a thought.

For those of you not in the "know", makare will try and use the Facebook chat function to talk with me from time to time. Almost every time she does I'm playing Bejeweled. Now, the Facebook chat sucks donkey balls. When someone enters a note it basically freezes your whole screen and won't let you do anything else until you go to the chat window and acknowledge it. And since Bejeweled is a timed game with a minute duration...well...you can see how the chat messes up your game.
I actually think she's hired by a certain David Chien to stop me from playing because he knows I'd fuck his high scores up!
(I'd have said Ross hired her, but Ross is a fucking Bejeweled GOD! I can't touch his scores on my best days. I think he cheats.)

Some things about it annoy me; and most of it has to do with me having to prune my buddy list. When I first got on, I simply tried to find as many old classmates as possible to see how they were doing. Some of these people I'd like to keep, but some I just don't care about and will probably never see again. I have a lot of people on ignore, either because they update their statuses too often or because they post annoying messages for their boyfriends to see and feel bad about like, "*SIGH* I wish that some people had more consideration for my feelings. He's just making me question things, ya know?...." (aaaaargh)
I love it for giving me an easy way to communicate with my friends out of the country and know when my brother's performing. Plus, if friends of mine don't have AIM or gmail chat, they are almost certainly on facebook and can chat with me there.

I try to be respectful of people not wanting to get app invites. The only one I really invited people for was that sesame street feel machine.. lol. I like that one. I asked before I invited anyone though and moss was a good enough sport to let me invite him as the last person I needed.
Having moved around so much, Facebook helps me keep in touch with folks from all over the world whom I would normally have lost touch with. I can say I've got contacts in the UN, and it's not exaggerating! *grins*
But yeah, my page is in dire need of pruning... went a little crazy with the apps a while back... *hangs head in shame*

wow, I can't believe it's been a whole YEAR since I got addicted to FB.. last summer I was a Farmtown growing freak, even eventually got both farms going.. but right after the harvest decorations came out... I just got bored with it and that game.. then I upgraded my work computer so it would play CafeTown without lagging... and an all new dualcore with 4 gigs of ram DIDN'T HELP.. so then I gave up on those games altogether.
But yeah, other than keeping up with friends through FB, I don't use it nearly as much as I once did.. I have my settings set pretty strict..but I'm wondering if I want to get away from it.

I vow that the day my mom or dad figure out how to log into facebook and try to friend me is the day I leave it forever.

The Latin word "virus" is a mass noun, so there's no Latin plural to borrow, as is the case with "formula" and "formulae". So, the correct plural of "virus" follows the normal English rules: "viruses". Viri (short initial i) is the closest Latin word, which means men.

I hear you.
One of my aunts has an account and has friended all us youngsters in the family. My dad's comment after I explained what FaceBook was: "Isn't your aunt a little old for that shit?"
