Are you a member of Facebook/Myspace? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

crazydude · 1st Feb 2010, 05:08 PM

Sorry if this has been posted before….

I’m just wondering who is a member of facebook or myspace and if you are when you signed up and if its something you couldn’t live with out? If you aren’t a member do you plan on singing up in the near future?

I’m not a member of either one and when ever I’m asked if I have it and I say “no” I get a look as if I’m from another planet. I think part of the reason is because most people my age have it, in fact I don’t’ actually know anyone under 30 who doesn’t have it.

i have one, its fun sometimes, but i'm not on there as much as my friends are. but i really appreciate the chat function on there which is what i use Facebook for mainly.

I deleted my Myspace eons ago when it became trash.

I got a Facebook account my freshman year of college, and steadfastly refused to use it for years after, largely because this girl I really didn't like showed up at my house and demanded to know why I hadn't friended her back. >.<

I got into using it again about a year ago, when I was in a bunch of really poorly-run classes and my classmates and I were always having to ask each other what the hell was going on. I've... not been able to stop since. I CAN QUIT ANYTIME. I SWEAR.

I got a MySpace account when it was "Cool" and the new thing. Then facebook came in 2006? And that was my first year of uni, so I thought it was much better. Pictures, statuses, apps, friends, awesome!

I usually stick with facebook and I can't remember when I last used MySpace or Nex.

Nodnarb · 1st Feb 2010, 07:10 PM

I resisted getting a Facebook account for a long time just for the hell of it. I gave in last spring and got one, mostly to keep in contact with people I went to HS with after we all left for college. I don't have a MySpace though.

MusicIsLife · 1st Feb 2010, 07:22 PM

I have both, I got facebook about 2 years ago, and myspace when i was 14 or something. It's fun, I used to obsessively change my myspace layout but I could live without it if I had to.

KittyBoy · 1st Feb 2010, 07:26 PM

Neither.

Sylver · 1st Feb 2010, 07:53 PM

I have a Facebook account (no MySpace) and I think it's pretty much useless - I'm barely on it once a week. I'd much rather be on EC spending time with people who (hopefully, maybe) understand me!!

Johneh · 1st Feb 2010, 08:16 PM

I have both.

ok455 · 1st Feb 2010, 08:17 PM

i have myspace and facebook both i remember when myspace used to be cool the in thing. Now facebook is the cool in thing now its pretty fun when your bored. Sometimes it gets annoying when people add you and don't want to chat

bailey · 1st Feb 2010, 08:23 PM

stratavos · 1st Feb 2010, 08:24 PM

2nd Feb 2010, 12:31 PM

Techcompu2 · 2nd Feb 2010, 01:05 PM

I have both, but am on Facebook more

BrownBoi89 · 2nd Feb 2010, 02:03 PM

I don't have Myspace because no one I know uses it. I got Facebook my last year of high school and I really like it because it's basically the only way I keep in touch with people and it's an easier way to get to know people you've just met or don't know to well.

2nd Feb 2010, 02:06 PM

I don't understand MyFace. Facebook is so much easier.

Apocalypte · 2nd Feb 2010, 03:01 PM

Just Facebook, I deleted my Myspace account years ago.

Zach · 2nd Feb 2010, 03:18 PM

) )

2nd Feb 2010, 03:22 PM
