Bebo links in sigs

    This attention-whoring trend seems to be catching on. but most of the people who link their bebo have private profiles. Its like they can't make up their mind between being paranoid about stalkers and being more popular than their friends. so they link a private profile - probably not realising that it won't get them any hits.

    the odd day when i was very bored i used to click on those profiles and comment them, even if it was just bull**** and i had nothing to say. now i dont bother anymore so this means legitimate attention whores don't get any hits off me. those damn private profiles ruined it

    when bebo started nobody had a private profile. this was great, i could stalk who i like. then mass paranoia struck the nation and everyone put encryption on their WiFi router, switched off bluetooth on their phones, made their bebo private, joined facebook (the social networking site for antisocial people) and unfriended everyone they hadn't seen for a while.

    Who you calling an attention whore?


    *Prays it's me*

    Edit: If any body says they welcome out attention seeking overlords or some other variant of that, I will hurt them.

    It 's probably because they're all underage and to avoid being stalked by pedophiles. And longer bedtimes.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    How about I save you the bother...

    My address is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, 20006

    I have a great idea for how you can find me. Go to eirsoft.ie, spend a lot of money on the guns, fly to the us, go to my house , and Jump over the gate. Very easy to get over.

    Yeah it was great whoring off the Neighbours wireless router and sending random people pictures through bluetooth, I don't know why people make their profile private? Then again there's a lot of stalkers out there...;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,473 ✭✭✭R0ot


    Bebo and all sites like bebo (that's right facebook im talking about you!) need to die in a fire [ignore bebo link in my sig at this point] :pac:

    This starting threads trend seems to be catching on. They start a thread, right out in public view, pose a question, perhaps something inciteful to garner views/replies, all the while getting attention for their thread and proudly holding up their opinion for all to see. Sometimes this opinion is berating others, for doing the same thing that they're doing, but in a different way. It's like they can't make their mind up whether they're for or against something.

    The odd day when I was bored, I used to click on those threads and leave comments, even if it was bull**** and I had nothing to say. Now I don't bother, I won't willing contribute to keeping a thread higher up on the soap box they call After hours, allowing the cretins to spew their meandering rubbish. Those damned self-righteous attention grabbers ruined it.

    You do know you will have gotten more profile visits since you posted that then in the entire time you had been on bebo....and why has nobody pointed out the OP is just complaining about a lack of random pics to fap to.

    Wow. Just realised how young most Boards posters must be if they're mostly on Bebo.

    Actually wait - I'm not on any social-whoringnetworking site.

    Maybe I'm dead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,269 ✭✭✭Rowley Birkin QC


    There are two boardsies in my bebo profile pic, one mod in fact.

    OP, feel free to inspect pictures of my drunken tomfoolery, the only purpose bebo seems to have in Ireland. Besides perving obviously.
