Bebo is gone! My awkward teenage years summed up in a social networking site full of illiteracy, clichés, and albums upon albums of duckfaced 14 year olds.
It shall be missed!

I find it a bit odd they would close it down without any sort of email to its members (yes never bothered deleting my account so still on their system :P ) .
Likely just down for maintenance or something!

If only Facebook would follow suit.

Facebook your next pal!!

Facebook is next. This new Timeline lark will be the death of it.

Death of it I tell you.

Crap.. I was meant to get photos off it..

Mr. Rager

I think Bebo can be summed up in one song.

It finished up today? Seriously, I thought it was gone for years. Were people still using it up to now?

The domain has been disassociated from its IP address, so I don't think so. They had announced some time ago that they were looking to sell it, or close it if they couldn't. They couldn't.

Bebo... that's like 7 years ago!
And it is the social networking site I spent the most time on too incidently. Glad that site is gone. Only full of rotten memories of my teenage days which I really could do without!

Now for facebook to follow suit!

Aoifey!

I had so many old photos on there

alwaysadub

I reactivated my account a while ago to see all my old posts and friends. Forgot about it again then straight after. Should have taken my photos off it when I had the chance

FouxDaFaFa

I had a few photos on it as well. You'd think they'd send out a courtesy email to let people know.

I think Bebo had a lot of good points. There really was no reason for us all to flock to Facebook.

If I set up a google+ account, it'd have taken off, FACT :cool:

yeah, it's not like anybody had any notice it was being shut down.

FinnLizzy

I thought it was a revolutionary step in pissing off older people! I remember Joe Duffy had a whole episode of mammies and other whingers complaining about the potential it had for teenagers to do scandalous stuff like download or post porn, and other shíte.

Nowadays, the same ones who were complaining about Bebo (Ireland's first popular social networking site) have Facebook pages.

'Cos the times, they are a chaaaangin'

My name is URL

Bebo was so crap innit.. all the streets be on Facebeuk now givin' it lager

Stereomaniac

Facebook really was the first social networking site where I saw older generations becoming active on it. In hindsight, it wasn't as sophisticated as Facebook. But even My Space has gone to the dogs, which is really something that would've been unthinkable 7 years ago. One thing Bebo had going for it was that it was slightly easier to use, if non computerised.

InkSlinger67

Jesus, is it getting to the stage where someone can lament on teeneage years spent on Bebo?

I miss websites that allow people to autoplay music on viewing the page so that gangsta rap blasts out of my computer in the library

Its layout was terrible, IMO.

To all the people mourning lost photos, wasn't it common knowledge for a long time that Bebo was on its last legs?

I think the layout of Facebook is terrible. Can't get my head around it?

What is poking? And why does everything that comes up on your news feed always be near unintelligible where you can't follow it?

L.Jenkins

Yeah, AOL announced its demise nearly 2 years ago before selling it for 10 million. A financial lose of 840 million that cost a few jobs.

KungPao

Good riddance.

The day FaceBook go out of business will be a day I shall smoke a cigar and smile.

Bebo is gone which means that the last 5% of the "$TuNnErSssss" are now migrating to Facebook. I'll be on Google+ if anyone wants me!

if it wasnt for bebo, ":L" would simply always be nothing more than a colon and a capital L.....R.I.P

It has, growing much much faster than FB was back when it started.

Strange to not have anything on the page, even a landing page with advertising.

Its only growing faster because of its links to gmail. The google+ interface is awful.

You should be able to access a cached version through wayback machine can you not?

As long as boards lives forever i dont care what goes down the internet toilet.

Caraville

**** anyway, I knew it was in bother but I really did want some photos off it, a final warning would have been helpful. I actually way preferred the layout to Facebook and it was far less invasive to your privacy but no one was on it so I stopped using it.
