I only really bother with scoobynet & a couple of Sunderland AFC message boards

All the invite emails from people bugging me to join likes of myspace & facebook pissed me off so i refused to join them.

Although I did once register a fake account on myspace to out a friend as Gay for a laugh.

They're welcome to stick the photos in their family photo album, but ain't that enough these days?

Nope. He did Last Man Standing and some other well known stuff. A bit cooler than Michael Winner...

Just to clear this up DaveGTT - the pic was photoshopped to try and enhance the colours. The after pic ended up looking like I have a big butt - which I don't. I found it funny so posted it up and of course people like you are STILL going on about it. So for reference, this is the Photoshopped pic:

360 Photography cornwall surfing photos for surfers of all abilities

And this is the original pic:

http://www.360photography.co.uk/ligh...fers&start=30/

Now should you ever get off your fat butt and learn to surf, you will find that it's not actually that easy to get decent pics.

But occasionally some come out that aren't too bad:

They have probably posted pictures too (you even have an album) at some point. Is SN that much difference from facebook or other social networking!? No.

Fukc me, you've posted cat videos - facebook IS for you!

I really have no inclination to post up my details and family on the internet for others to look at, despite repeated invitations to become "friends" or members. If I want to communicate with someone, I just use phone, text or e-mail.

NB: I don't mean common-interest web forums like this one.

Me.

I never saw the point.
I prefer go out and actually meet people face to face.

I have some old school friends who like to take pics of themselves at funny angles to make themselves look fitter. Beware the myspace anglers



Fit?

LOL Look I am not saying it's for geeks, in truth I don't know who it's for and that is kind of my point. I don't want imaginary friends and manage to keep in touch with my real ones quite easily without needing Facebook or the likes.

The way I see it the difference between here and something like Facebook is that SN is focused on one interest ... Subarus (I know we all have other interests as well, but the main focus is Subaru - it is the site's raison d'etre) and I can choose how invasive of my privacy and time SN is whereas with Facebook that, from what I hear, is less so.

On SN I also don't have to put up with stupid things like pokes or whatever they are called and lots of internet personas claiming to want to be my friend. On SN everyone knows that everyone else thinks they are a ****

Mattee, are you seriously trying to suggest I keep my identity secret? Im not bothered, plenty of photos of me on SN and theres even a very embarressing video posted of me doing the FULL monty, so Ive shown enough of me on SN thanks I dont post all over the internet seemingly looking for approval from the SN massive that I lead a respectable enough life.

Not after approval. Most SNers think I'm a right **** so a few pics will hardly change that. Just like showing a bit of reality rather than hiding behind a screen bleating at people.

Never seen pics of you. Must have missed them. I'd be genuinely intrigued as to what you look like. Not because I'm a raging internet homo, but because I love putting faces to names.

Added along with a another photoshopped picture of me "looking" active whilst hiding behind my PC Taken a couple of months back when I foofed my knee

Yep good point!

I'm still amused at the title of this thread and people seemingly proud that they don't do social networking on the web.....and it's for geeks and losers.

A social network is a social structure made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as values, visions, ideas, financial exchange, friendship, sexual relationships, kinship, dislike, conflict or trade.

Dare I suggest Subarus?

Hmmm Dave, you look surprisingly normal. Maybe just a tad boy band but still normalish.
Sorry to hear about the knee - mine's a bit dodgy too and my shoulder has been annoying since my mid teens. In fact I have physio tomorrow. Bu66er.
