Super User Fishing Rhino Posted October 22, 2012 Super User Posted October 22, 2012 That's what the banner at the top of the page said when I opened the forum this morning. I cannot imagine who "unfriended" me since I don't do facebook. But that's OK. Whoever they were to friend me in the first place shows they have poor judgement. Who wants friends with poor judgement?

ClackerBuzz Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Clearly 3 anti-fishing devil worshipers! Quote
Super User slonezp Posted October 22, 2012 Super User Posted October 22, 2012 I got unfriended last week. Doesn't feel good, does it? Apparently I'm thinking about purchasing some windows this week Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 i can't for the life of me understand why they would want to notify you of such a thing. childish would be an understatement. i deleted my acct a few months ago and would describe FB as "middle school"...high school being too much of a compliment 1 Quote
BASSHUNTER1961 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 It comes up at the top of the page evey day for me.... I must not have any friends left LOL.... Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted October 22, 2012 Super User Posted October 22, 2012 lol. I quite facebook some time ago. It's more hassle than it's worth. Quote
gramps50 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 My guess is that you had to many friends and the system weeded some out for you. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 22, 2012 Super User Posted October 22, 2012 It's just something that comes with the forum software. If you click on someone's profile, there's a button to "add as a friend." I don't use it. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted October 22, 2012 Super User Posted October 22, 2012 The advertisement you're referring to has been on everything from the weather website to this one. Quote
CoBass Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Maybe it was the same three people who unfriended me. My feelings were really hurt. This weeks banner ad is for download manager software. They want me to click their ad to take me to their "webdite". Companies that can't even proof read their own ads don't inspire a lot of confidence in me. Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Its like they want people to quite their site. I love BR but I might cancel my membership if every time i logged in I got messages like: "You missed two frog hook sets today" "1 dink stole 2 senko's from you" "A 6lb pig inhaled and spit your jig and you didn't even know...sucker" Don't shame me Glenn!

Super User retiredbosn Posted October 22, 2012 Super User Posted October 22, 2012 I can't say for sure but I would bet my next pay check that the purpose of that banner was to download a tracking cookie to your computer, all u would have had to do is touch it with your cursor. If u use Google you have a bunch of them. Ever notice how your junk email is related to what your internet searches are. Google, Yahoo and the rest make allot of money by tracking your internet activity and selling that info to marketing firms. They've been doing it for years nothing illegal about it. Same is true with your bank, every purchase made with a debit card is recorded along with what you bought, that info is then sold. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted October 22, 2012 Super User Posted October 22, 2012 The fact that Rhino had 3 friends to begin with is what amazes me. The only one I can think of is Long Mike and by Rhinos own admission Mike has poor judgement. Quote

tipptruck1 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 For some reason every time I see that add. I picture the Facebook south park episode. Quote

The only one I can think of is Long Mike and by Rhinos own admission Mike has poor judgement. What makes you think Rhino is a friend? We younger folks from the south don't like hanging around with old people from the north. They talk funny and they fart too much. I may have poor judgment, but I'm not THAT stupid. Just kidding, Tom.

Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted October 23, 2012 Super User Posted October 23, 2012 If you ask me, friends are over-rated. I think I only have 3 people that I really consider friends and not just aquaintences and I don't even see them anymore cuz they all went away to college out of state. Never got into facebook or myspace and all that. Seems like way to much drama for me. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted October 23, 2012 Super User Posted October 23, 2012 Facebook is what you make it to be, nothing more, nothing less. I'm on Facebook nearly everyday, mainly reading articles and websites of interest that I'm linked. It's my choice to be or not to be involved with people on my friends list, I pay close attention to some and no attention to others. I don't see much difference between a dedicated forum and Facebook, except on Facebook there is an unlimited supply of topics and interests. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted October 24, 2012 Super User Posted October 24, 2012 I look at it like this- If I wasn't your friend in high school, then chances are I don't want to be your friend now. Rhino, Have no fear. I'm your friend. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 24, 2012 Super User Posted October 24, 2012 I'm not friends with anyone from high school. My best, lifelong friends I met after high school. In high school, you have to be friends with your classmates because you have to be around them everyday. Afterwards, you can pick whomever you actually want to be friends with. 1 Quote

I don't see much difference between a dedicated forum and Facebook, except on Facebook there is an unlimited supply of topics and interests. X2. coudn't have said it better. You make it drama filled, the sites don't. There are literally dozens of fishing give-a-ways and contests announced on Facebook every week or day for that matter. I have been lucky enough to win one or two things just by being persistent and always entering the contests. one was an FLW tshirt, the other was a fishing novel. Yeah, small items but still...free stuff is always cool. A lot of the blogging from pros and other fishing related distributors make great reads. Other than that, i share photos of my kids, fishing, other events with my family and friends. I rarely converse through it. The people I want to talk to have my cell phone. I keep in touch with old friends and college baseball buddies. That's about it. Quote
