    I'm in the library now.....and when you look around at least five people within view are on Bebo and everyone few minutes you hear the word 'Bebo', feckin' mad, but in saying that, I'm on it too........it got a hold of me :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,602 ✭✭✭ShayK1


    can you search by location on there??? search by college or school???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,509 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    Once you sign up, or get an invite from someone then you can join your college and see who else from the college is there....even add a brick to the wall! :D . Thats the only search you can do, you cant put in someones name and look for them as far as I know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Redrocket


    wow a ****ing brick to wall!
    that sounds so amazing!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    It has taken over Maynooth too, theres talk of it being banned from college computers...

    Shay, they recently added schools and collages to it so you can join them to meet people from the collage or your old school friends (if ya had any!!).

    dirty spamming whores


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭Africa


    i give it a few weeks and itll be a 403.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    ye, it'll go the way of MySpace. a shame really, as it kinda linked everyone in the college together and provided almost a soap-like quality to the LRC, with everyone being different characters with their own spin-off shows and crazy goings-on!

    LONG LIVE BEBO!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭blu_sonic


    Can they 403 it if your using a laptop in the LRC?

    stuff that went the 403 way:
    Poolsharks, i think it was poolgame.co.uk or something
    hotmail for awhile.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    ye course they can 403 it! ur laptop connects to the college server, and the college server kinda forwards ur stuff on, so if the colege server is blockin it, then its gonna tell ur laptop to go f**k itself when it asks for something thats 403'd! simple!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 920 ✭✭✭elvis2002


    i heard about this friday thanks to stevenk, I have to say its a disease. It will be banned before the end of March. Maybe the end of next week. Hopefully then it will be forgotten about. On a side note, Are computer services banning anybody playing flash games these days? I was just walking through bottom floor of library the other day and seen at least 5 people playing games in open view.

    At least it ain't Quake3:rolleyes::D:cool:... or is it?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,282 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    i have to say, the techies are going a bit overboard banning sites this year. ok, i know the computers in college are for college use, but come on, at least let us look at things like imageshack/myspace/google video etc...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭blu_sonic


    of course they are, they are arrogant knobs, once i was in the LRC laying a poolgame, 1 walked past and alt f4(ed) the screen, he could have asked me to turn off the game but took it upon himself to be a foolio

    you should have screamed at him that your a programing or web developent student and it was your project.

    Although when you think about, with the amount of students in the college, if all the services such as google earth and any streaming video services were allowed. The bandwidth would disapear in no time. I'm sure HEAnet would love to watch IT Carlow dig into their bandwidth with gigs of video transfers a month.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 920 ✭✭✭elvis2002


    yah scream at him, and end up getting banned for a few weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    YBH, tho, there's nothing worse than trying to get a computer to finish your college project on, and finding 30 people laughing at the same webpage... bebo, you say?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭tom_ass19


    yesterday i did a little survey. all the floors of the LRC excluding the computer rooms where there's always ppl in them. I started at the top floor and counted my way down. I counted 64 people on bebo. just thought id do it for the laugh.....so bring on the blocking...haha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭balkieb2002


    Now that just sad :)

    Also i didn't think ya wanted it banned considerin your on it :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,602 ✭✭✭ShayK1


    you took the words right out of my mout
    h balkie


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 920 ✭✭✭elvis2002


    60 people on at one time, jaysus, thats unreal. I logged on to bebo once to see a photo of a particular lovely stevenk informed me off. Viewable at http://collettequinlan.bebo.com Thats the only good reason I can see to go there. There's a few more around there somewhere too...

    I still think its a good bet that it will be banned before friday. It cant go on much longer.

    Quote from some ejit that posted this on bebo itcarlow page.

    "i would like to ask all people that use the computers for projects to stay on the first floor and leave the second and third for bebo use strictly thank you any complaints feel free to never e mail me or you can contact me at this number at no time 0879546658 thank you"

    I think it speaks for itself tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    My flavour of the week this week (Rag Week in Maynooth) is walking up to random strangers and going - " I know you, you're on bebo aren't ya! "

    The reactions are amazing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    haha i know, its gettin mad! some girl came to view the spare room in me house and i was like "jaysus, i know her from somewhere!". the shame of it when i realised i knew her from bebo! shockin! her sister was hot though...:p

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    no, the net is fine, its just bebo thats slow.

    rumour has it that the site is gonna be blocked though!

    how gay is that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭tom_ass19


    ya ive a very strong feeling that it will be blocked. its just using up the servers bandwith n stupid ppl going on the pcs just for the main purpose of using bebo.......WTF are ppl gonna do when its blocked......bet their's gonna be some sort of protest outside the techy's office....haha....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,509 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    A protest! HAHAHA, thats a good one, what are they protesting about? There right to use Bebo on college computers may be denied? LOL.

    Ahh...dont mind me, I'm just peed off that I was trying to get a project printed out today and I couldnt get a computer dispite a lot of people only using the computers for Bebo....:rolleyes:

    Aye because moonbeam is such a manly name.

    I signed up to bebo to see what it was all about but apart from that time and the time to look at the above female link I have never visited it agian. I don't see the attraction.

    Yes it is and I would definitely not like to be S4DD as he's the one who got it banned because he "has trouble getting a computer with all the people using them to look at bebo". A lot of people are seriously pissed off about this so sucks to be you Paul.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 515 ✭✭✭daithimac

    the gob****é. Hope ya remain a Virgin forever


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Redrocket


    is it a 403?
    hahahaha cool
    and how the hell do you know it was paul s4dd that got it banned?
    on average 40-60 people using the same site at one time is bound to be noticed. they probably have some kind of top 10 statistic software
    i.e. top 10 most downloaded files, most visited sites, most logged on users and so on....
    bebo was destined to be banned


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,221 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    Well that's paul for ya... anyway there are enough computers in the college for everyone. If people want to go on bebo then let them, it's not taking up serious bandwith. Get the people who download sh!tloads of crap, lock computers and plug the them out. Those are the people that need to be sorted.

    Bebo is ok, not exactly brilliant, a little addictive but also fun. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 515 ✭✭✭daithimac


    BULL! It was something that brought the college together. sure It was being over used but everyting is when first introduced. next this board will be 403ed. its a load of steaming crap


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,221 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    Yea, why the fock is boards.ie not banned? that would definately be in the "top 10 most used sites" Guess someone will have to make a complaint... With there being a "lack of computers" and all that... :P :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭tom_ass19


    hahahaha.....was waiting for it to happen....im on bebo but i dont give a ****.......just wait till the protests start outside the tech's office.....like i said earlier.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭balkieb2002


    Ah nothing is every totally 403 ;)

    Theres ways and means of getting round everything though i couldn't be arsd trying it for bebo espec as i'd be the only one in collage using it :D

    Bebo is dead...... long live bebo!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,190 ✭✭✭UnrealQueen


    Ok, Paul hasn't completely ruined it for everyone. Ya can still get to bebo using the IP.
