@Chimpy Chompy: I remember when my RL friends went to facebook years ago I told them I wouldn't go there because I had something better. That was TTLG.
@Al_B: It won't happen that way. People who used to have connections on both platforms had them with different groups of people. Now that they have their* ttlg group on facebook laziness will do the rest and they'll adapt their posting habits to the modern interweb.
*It's actually not yours.

Are you guys done learning Facebook? Is so old that even a 5 year old kid knows about it.
See, I've just called you a bunch of old people.
:p
Yeah, but, this bunch of old people know the secret cool hand shake. You don't, soooo. :p

@Chimpy Chompy: If you were going to a distributed social network (eg (
http://friendica.com)) I'd understand, because part of the reason TTLG dies is how it's been run by a small group who couldn't give up control. When they eventually close this site you will lose everything you ever put into TTLG.
Going for a decentralised system would make sense then. But facebook is a step backwards. It may seem fun in the beginning but the more you invest in your relations there the more they got you by your balls. And they are well known by now for turning that screw constantly.

god dammit kolya what the fuck are you even ON about
i mean what does this even fucking MEAN

Awesomes! Now you can share the same online relations you had here privately for free with lots of cool companies on facebook! Hope it feels good seeing your emotional life become a statistic traded on the stock market. Those eldars really know where the NEW party's at. Where do I sign up to leave freedom behind?
there is so much brandysipping here i don't even know where to begin, are you saying we're corporate whores for wanting to use social media to stay connected? well fuck you too

Ja ja ja, of course I'm just a spoil sport who doesn't like you to have fun. It's the same retarded comment I heard back when...
if you keep hearing it maybe there's a reason, you pudchugger

And you're really just a bunch of leftovers who couldn't find their way to fucking facebook yet without gbm showing you the way. The sooner you leave and let TTLG die or live on without you, the better.
the irony is that it was AEROTHORN who started the group, not gbm
you calling us "leftovers" is hilarious because YOU'RE STILL HERE TOO so why don't you fix that
my god you're more obnoxious than evabot, what do you have to say for yourself

You know I can't hate you because you showed me around on your minecraft server and that was really sweet. Really. So let's part amicably. I'll have to get up early to catch a ferry to the Greek island of Paros, so I'll go to bed now. If TTLG is still here tomorrow we may meet again.

I don't hate you. I just pity you. You must lead a very lonely existence.

So this is about facebook now? The fb group is harmless, while facebook is a money-making venture and does put people's personal information at risk, the fact that people are enjoying themselves right now on the TTLG group is undeniable.
At any rate, I doubt facebook has any incidence on the worry we're still having about the future of the TTLG forums.

As much as no one likes a party pooper, Kolya is probably right. VHS and Betamax were different formats with different strengths and weaknesses. They actually compliment each other! They can co-exist in this crazy ol world. It doesn't always have to be about one thing or another!.
Yeah, but nah actually. Comm chat might do some things better than facebook, but if everyone else is on facebook for most of the stuff, well...
