Lies, all lies!
I am, unfortunately, a member of the Facebook community. I have three friends.
Hello, boys.
I think it is my fault and .. Joy's ? fault? I remember inviting Agrias and she (Joy) was like who's Alice Flororororaooboboroogur?
I have a facebook but I only use it for keeping in touch with people I know for real.
I do believe I am a member of the Facebook eoff community. At least I have the undead hero and several other people in my friends list, if you do add me then please when it comes up with the "how do you know this person" put "eoff" or send me a message too so I might realize quickly who the heck you are.
I have facebook, it's spiffy :3 Join the EoFF group. ^_^
Wat
is
going

wtf
rawr
I joined the group, yay!
I don't have need for facebook so I can't join. I'm all for such groups conquering as much cyberspace as possible though. Keep the good work up, chaps!
In otherwords, yay solitude?Originally Posted by Vincent, Thunder God
Well it's solitude only in a physical sense. You're not there, greeting your friends with your actual presence, but when they're online too, you know that you're together in a metaphysical sense. It's a very unique form of socializing.In otherwords, yay solitude?
That's not to say that it doesn't have its drawbacks. I don't like not being able to see my friends and interact with them, spend time with them etc. That's what my off line friends are for.
But think about it - where else can you socialize with people on the other side of the world? Where else can you have as much anonymity as you want, yet still enjoy socializing?
That's what I love about good communities like eoff.
Anonymity is for freaks and weirdos. xP
We're not all weirdos like you Roto!
Seriously though, I think that it can open discussion that just wouldn't happen in real life. A lot of people need help out there, so they come to EoEo and they feel free to put their hearts on their sleeves just because they know no one can make fun of them over it. Right now school and high school isn't a place that encourages being open about your problems and dealing with them - in fact, few places are, because people are too embarrassed they'll regret it forever due to being labeled as different or weird. People of all races, sexualities, etc. can come here and be accepted, and be open about things they might not be.
I personally come here because I like helping those people, or just giving them a place where they feel they can belong. I actually socialize quite a bit outside of the forum, but I come here for something different, mostly to help and advise people who would never come to me for advice in real life. I find it rewarding. And when that becomes taxing, as it inevitably does, I hang out here in GC.
Also, not knowing who the person really looks like doesn't add that sort of automatic discrimination you have against people who - might not look that amazing, if you catch my drift. But that means it's all about learning of their personality, with no physical signals getting in the way of that. Personally I have no problems with my looks - I like who I am and what I look like. But there are a lot of people on here who might not be as confident in that department, so they focus on places where it isn't as prevalent.
I tried to join Facebook but it wouldn't let me, because i'm not American or something.
