On saturday i was helping one of my friends build a computer and he bought all of the parts and i made him construct while being instructed by me. He got it done. But, way before that, i guess when i hopped on my computer again that my other friend logged into his myspace. I only found this out by hitting the back button on firefox multiple times to see his page logged in and fully accessible.
I figured since he was getting two free beers from me, i got him a bootable linux usb drive specifically for use on the university computers, and i gave the dude a place to stay for two nights, that i was going to change his details.
I changed his headline to "my tummy looks like a stack of pancakes". I changed his mood to scared and his status too "i'm a big cheese muffin". I posted two bulletins on his page one saying that he was going to "BF" a ton of people real soon. The other bulletin was to appeal to the naruto fans in his friends list which was a lot with another bulletin posted as "i found all of the episodes of naruto" in which it offers a link using an <a href> tag so people wouldn't see the actual link but just the clickable "here" text that went to a futufan website. I also changed his profile name to "Beephkake". And lastly, i photoshopped his photo to have a huge dick resting on his forehead, of course i applied the pixelize filter to the member resting on his forehead just so he wouldn't get kicked off of myspace. I then set up that photo to be his default photo with the caption "it is amazing". In his normal photo he has a blank expression while looking upwards, now at least it looks like he's focusing on something.
Later that day i did some very impressive photoshopping, instead of the member resting on his forehead. Now it looks convincingly like it's in his mouth with his lips wrapped around it and a bulge in his cheek. Next time he leaves his myspace logged in, i'm changing his background to a tiled background of the other remastered picture.
He got really mad. But, i got to do something to remind him of the 40$ he owes me for the thumb drive.
-
He deserves to get really mad. But not because he owes you 40 bucks, but because he's a loser who uses myspace.
-
I associate MySpace to something evil. :nervous:
-
The other thing about myspace is that any time that you make a change to your profile, everyone on your friends list gets alerted to exactly what was changed and changed to what without even visiting the other persons page. So any changes you make in myspace propogate accordingly and do get noticed.
-
Never been to myspace, never watched a video from there, and hopefully never will.

If you don't want to, you don't have to. :D

...So you're a Facebook man then? :p

I always preferred Hard Light to any other socialization-based web pages.
Not only there's a lot more going on than handing each other retarded virtualgifts and invitations to tests that require you to invite a legion of your friends to see any results, but many of the people actually use it for communicating and co-operation to make some pretty awesome things happen.
I have a facebook account, the concept itself wouldn't be bad if people used it for keeping in touch with, say, old school friends or stuff, but many people use it as substitute for normal social interaction with the people they see regularly on a day-to-day basis. I just don't get it. And there's the retardedness of all the crap that has bloated the pages to resemble a leper crawling on the ditch with no legs and one arm. In speed and attractiveness and, apparently, infectiousness. So I don't use it, the account is there collecting those retarded invitations and can remain there and I couldn't care less.
Myspace I view as largely similar, but instead of a leper it's more like black cancer or something. :nervous:

If we are already talking about social networks, I've had the idea to make an account on Netlog and disguise as a pedophile. On a second thought, I don't think it's such a good idea anymore. Funny nevertheless.

I tentatively got Facebook a few weeks back, but only because my friend's culture was starting to leave me behind. Rather then calling people and asking to hang out or whatever (which was difficult as well because I don't have a cell phone), they just asked people on Facebook. But I do also tend to use it to get in touch with some friends that graduated well before me, and various Marching Band instructors (Creepily enough, 2 of the 3 instructors we have marched with my older brother, and the other one somehow assimilated himself into our group as well as the other two did).
I joined the HLP group just because I like HLP that much, and a couple others, but other than that, I've kept it quite minimalistic. I've used it as a medium to publish a few essays for peer thoughts, and I use it to keep in touch with my sister who lives in New York right now.
IMHO facebook isn't terrible as long as you don't whore apps and stuff. As for myspace, I don't really have any experience with that, so I can't say anything about it accurately.

I like the hlpbb better than myspace also. Myspace has been handy for sending people messages who are otherwise uncontactable (this has been very handy).
-
I don't use MySpace.
Facebook, on the other hand...

It's called me re-emphasizing how handy it is a second time, except with the word "very" in front of it. :drevil: Why didn't you at least catch me on "uncontactable" that's not even grammatically correct and i got the real culprit by you?

No, he's a friend :lol:

Funny way of showing it...

I use facebook for the apps. But I haven't visted my facebook in the last ten thousand years, I think.

I originally joined HLP because I wanted to get FS2_Open working on my computer, then I thought, "I think I'll just stay here and post around."
Frankly, I don't like social networking sites at all. The reason why I started a blog at Wordpress was because it was an assignment.
/me checks his most visited sites using Firefox.
General Discussion, Updated Topics, General FreeSpace Discussion, Gaming Discussion and Hard Light Productions Forums - Index are the top five. All of them are HLP sites. :D
The only other site I visit very frequently on my own is YouTube.

Hard Light is like a great big internet bar without alcohol *damn*
Of course, no bar has alcohol for me. I always sit there next to my brother-in-law with a rootbeer or something.
Two more years
I have ADD today
-
Two years!
ADD?, i would have looked it up but i got distracted ;)

That was awful. :no:

:lol: English satire means awful is good.
Nah i suck..........

I'm not very good at satire either.
HLP has its own drunk threads, which is enough entertainment to last one for a few months.
Like that HEY MOTHER****ERS IVE BEEN DRINING ALL NIGHT thread.
