Forums - General - Has anybody else used vgchartz to distract themseleves from FB?

Hey guys,

At the beginning of the year, I had gotten sick of checking Facebook every 5mins. It was also distracting me from work since you can do everything on your phone. Anyways the 1st of January I decided I wasn't going to go on FB and since then I haven't even once. I've been on here a lot more than I was before, not posting but still on here. I figure on here at least sometimes ill learn something and it's far my interesting than reading stuff the literally as no effect on the world, and is completely pointless.

Have any of you guys done this/or something similar?

Hmmm, I implement comments, you love me again, K?



I got rid of my Facebook months ago - best decision I made in a while. I to spent way too much time checking it. Although I don't check this site as much as I did Facebook, I enjoy this site a hella lot more and enjoy reading what people have to say. Facebook is creating so many more problems these days than it was invented to solve, in my opinion.



Yeah Facebook sucks. There are too many stupid people on there and even the ones you know post boring or depressing crap. I only use it to chat with my mom....

Otherwise instant messenger FTW !

I got rid of my Facebook last year and it was probably one of the best things I did last year. Like Spurge said, I used to use this site as my "facebook" but since I'm cutting back my VGC time I will probably fade away with few people noticing. Facebook is okay if you are in high school, college (this is when I joined when facebook used to be only for college students then it started turning to shit once they let everyone join), have a family and not too sure what else. For someone like me it is completely useless.



Left facebook a long time ago. Anyway, I was not the type of guy that post a lot of check updates.

Makes me glad that I never used Facebook.

I have always thought that if someone really needed to talk to me, they could call me or stop by. Plus I don't care to know what everyone is doing with their time.

 

I remember going on my fiance's computer and she had FB loading up. I decided to check her wall and all I saw were things like "OMG, I LOVE HOW MY HAIR COLOR CAME OUT!", "Going shopping. Hope I find some cool stuff!" or "Off to work till 5, ugghhh...".

Really? And people tell me I need a life.  -__-

So did I, then people started telling me it's 2012, apperantly simply stopping by or even picking up the phone to call is a stretch. :/ Hell even a txt message is asking a lot nowadays.

Very worst thing about social media though: People you've seen like once trying to add you as "a friend", or the worst: People who you've make very clear that you don't like them still trying to add you as "a friend" :/



Still use Facebook. No where near the amount I used to though. The only reason I've kept my account is so I can keep in touch with people I hardly ever see, to be honest though I never really talk to them on it though lol. Timeline is wank also!!!
