OMG! My family's been trying to get me to join the facebook craze but I keep resisting and it's cuz of crazy stuff like this:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?=743264506

What a world we live in.

robeiae · Apr 25, 2010

That page is blocked for me.

Parametric · Apr 25, 2010

That link is directing me to my own facebook profile, which I find a little disconcerting.

Ditto

kct webber · Apr 25, 2010

Heh. Nice.

I was like... "Whaaaaaaahhhh?" until I read the other replies.

Jersey Chick · Apr 25, 2010

Goes to my page as well.

Synonym · Apr 25, 2010

Aw, it wants me to sign in, which I rarely do after being coerced into joining the stupid thing myself.

I joined FB reluctantly; I've now started removing a lot of stuff from my FB page because of their copyright assertions and this:

LOG · Apr 25, 2010

I have a Facebook in case an acquaintance needs to contact me, but unless someone is contacting me I'll never touch it.

kct webber · Apr 25, 2010

I thought Fingers hated me! Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!

backslashbaby · Apr 25, 2010

LOL!

I thought my forum identity was busted! Then I thought you must be crazy to object to my boring old stuff

robeiae · Apr 25, 2010

Wait, now it works. Takes me to Jersey Chick's page. Weird.

Jersey Chick · Apr 25, 2010

Whoa... that is weird.

**runs to make sure rob-o-vowels isn't really me**

I think that was the joke.

Facebook is a fun way to keep up with family who live far away. Love looking at family pics and how much the kids are growing, etc.

Priene · Apr 25, 2010

It's nothing to worry about. 743264506 is a garbage parameter. Apparently non-existent user requests are redirected back to your own page. Try this one: 3345345345345. Or this: 1111111111111111111111. Or...well, you get the idea.

regdog · Apr 25, 2010

I've said I'll join when I have a published book to promote.

Oh looky, still not on Facebook.

Devil Ledbetter · Apr 25, 2010

Here's the real problem with Facebook.

I see that now, but at the time I was wondering where brokenfingers got my real name from and why s/he was broadcasting it to the general public. :tongue

HA! How have I not seen that?

Not to mention how effing difficult it is to change your profile so your profile remains yours...

Believe me, Rob - if you'd had a facebook account, you would've been horrified.

Horrified.

I wouldn't have been surprised if you'd hurled, actually.

Imbroglio · Apr 25, 2010

Lol, I was still trying to figure out what you were talking about after reading the whole thread.

xD
