I said “dying”, I didn't say “dead”. No need to be so snide.

I also mentioned how it makes me sad that forums are on the decline, that is to say that I love forums. Unsurprisingly when I find an active one I dive right in. Hi!

For you and I they're more fun. More normal folks, for want of a better description, seem to find the barrier to entry too high for the most part. Social media is accessible and bolts onto normal communication. There's far less emphasis on meeting new people.

Personally I love making new friends!
Me too! And I need to agree with 3DSfan, I love forums… and about Facebook, DON'T MENTION IT.

We're like, the worst enemies XD

I do NOT like Facebook and would do the same thing as you

Way to make me feel old

In all seriousness though I don't find Facebook particularly useful. It would also seem that it's not great for our mental health.

Surely you're not old enough to have ever experienced what MySpace used to be?

There's always those who use a magic thing called fake age. Have you seen the Scratch Stats page? Someone used to have negative age.

It wasn't about knowing, it was about preferring it. I don't know what MySpace is for these days. Do musicians still use it?

As social networks go I wish G+ was better.

I use G+ all the time; it's pretty nice.

I'm chatting with someone right now, actually.

Love the design

I can't abide the interface of G+. I like the Hangouts features though.

Here's a video of the orange thing
I think the problem is that the site is loading the “true background” first (which is orange) before loading the foreground and content. If you regularly visit it (like in the video), the loading time goes shorter. I've only tested the website on a Mac though so it might just be a Windows-exclusive problem.
Try setting the “true” background color to something that matches the white?

I'm not really sure what your point is, 3DSfan12345…

Ah, so you'd delete your FB account if it weren't for friends you have on there. Surely if they can reach you in other ways then you might as well ditch it now?

Ok. I fixed the website now so the true background is #ccc (which is a light grey) rather than #ff8000 (which is a bright orange).
