    I for one am glad to see the reduction in stupid chain mail, and "funny" emails that I first saw years ago.

    Funny emails as in forwarded spam from people who lack the imagination to write their own? No, I still get that. Bebo just gives people an other angle of attack.

    I'm a member of bebo and I still get the funny emails now and again:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,585 ✭✭✭honru


    I'd say more than half of the people on Bebo never used the internet on a regular basis, let alone email. If anything, it would increase email usage.

    People dont use email anymore, just Bebo really.

    Mind you, has bebo killed email? Its more like have schools/colleges killed Bebo? Definitely alot less chain mails and activity on most peoples pages since then. Personally I barely use Bebo myself, I do see people with maybe 80 friends on it, of which they only know 30 of those people, and are only actually friends with maybe 10 of them. I only bothered adding my real mates, adding people from school I never even hung around with seemed a bit pointless.

    And what is with the fcuking chain mails? Messages with bad grammer claiming to be from Bebo instructing you to forward the message or your account will be shut for inactivity? Petitions to stop Jamie Bolgers killers being released? Am I the only person who actually watched the news back in 2001 and realises this is long gone?

    Dear dear Lord please let this be true. Please. I'm begging here.

    The more people decide that IMs/Bebo/I-couldn't-care-what are the new "cool" way to spam humour or anything else....the better.

    Email works for me. It works better and better as more and more people decide that some other technology is a far cooler way to tell the latest jokes and whatnot to everyone you've ever met.

    Lets hope so, one more "pass this on to 5 billion people in the next ten seconds, or you penis will fall off and the WORLD WILL END!!!111111oneoneone" style e-mail, and I will not be held responsible for my actions...

    Bebo is old school. Cult is where all the real freaks hang out...

    Whenever someone forwards me a chainmail/etc. they drop a few IQ points in my estimation...

    I love that someone refers to e-mail as "the old fashioned way".

    I must be getting old. :(

    EDIT: Swayze truly is the answer to all questions, ## on IRC should have a clause for that in their rules.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,352 ✭✭✭funky penguin


    So much fun it should be illegal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    You know, it probably is... we may have to introduce a substitute to asuage the horrible gnawing feeling of guilt from 'offing' Swayze. I put full faith in

    CRUUUuuuuiiiisssseeeee

    Tom will serve us well

    Oh yes. Yes he will. The man is a sex bot, with a twisted mind.

    I was going to clean the house today, but instead I went to town and drank far too much coffee and coke and had loads of ice cream and got really really hyper and was going to play Mordheim with a friend only I forgot and went drinking and then my brother was having a barbeque and now I'm full of meat and more coke and then it started raining so we went inside and watched the TT for a while and then I remembered I have work soon so I went home only I went online and here I am and that's everything that happened to me today.

    Oh, except Karl Hungus wants me to be in his band called The Karl Hungus Cheese Explosion.
