    You mean trolling accounts? Of course I do. Hugh G Balls, mike hunt etc.... People on fb do feed the trolls . It's great .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,033 ✭✭✭mauzo


    Yeah, I have 4 accounts.

    I used to be admin on a jokes page and was posting a lot. You could only post so many times a day or something like that so I just made another few profiles!

    I used to have a creep account for adding hot female friend of friends that i know but not well enough to know to add them as a friend. It was nice to look at the pics. I got rid of it as i realised how creepy it was :pac:

    I have a dummy account to check how locked down my main account is to the public. It has proven very useful.

    I have five sisters in their teens/early twenties.

    My FB wall often looks like a Tim Burtonesque garish nightmare of painted faces, pub toilets, duck pouts and greyhound skirts.

    And on Sundays, hangovers and drama.

    They range from munter to Mother of God. Mostly the latter in fairness. Youth is a great thing.

    I've been caught out once or twice though, with the fat angle. You meet one in the flesh, and realise that they looked far better on FB.

    They're fitter than me, but they wouldn't drink soup. I usually leg it before they start to drown out the music.

    :( i canna see it a-cause I gots none facebooks.:(

    Closed my Facebook in ( what?, I need only log in to reactivate my account, to check when it was deactivated? so my account is deactivated ??? or active absent log-in?)

    Actually just enter your (facebook registered) email address and correct password, after 3-5 years and you are back in your old account. mmmmh should I update my facebook bank details? facebook credits??? It has been a long time, but for FUCK sake! How much do I have to fork over to these Satan worshiping Data hoarding demons, before they will delete my account?

    Faceboob wall - sure, of course I want to know when you are home from work.:mad:

    Thank you, that option was not there (according to my -to the best of my knowledge - unreliable memory) when I was deactivating my account in 2007 according to my facebook wall status. But there is no need to make me out to be some kind of a crazy person. we are not crazy. :D
