Please Stand By…

Unfortunately, computer issues have hit me again. Dankoville has been offline for several days as efforts to resolve the trouble have been going on.

All of my other virtual world projects and related writing projects are on hold until we get things fixed. I’m working on my backup machine in the meantime but my virtual activities are limited.

On Thursday, I’ll be testing one last possible fix. If that one fails, I’ll have to send it out to the fix-it shop.

Of course, my Kitely regions are online as is the Storytellers Pub in Winterfell Laudanum on SL, where you will find me throwing them back and swearing off technology forever.

My Post-Facebook Era Post

The title of my latest post really does say it all —

Facebook Sucks. And They Don’t Want Avatars. So Why Do You Want To Be There? Boycott Facebook! Or Just Quit!

from Journey To The Center Of The Metaverse…

…more whining about how Facebook really sucks…

posted today on my week-old Facebook “Page”…

so far i find this Facebook “Page” thing to be quite useless and more annoying than the regular FB account. I would strongly advise against switching to a Page. I’m seriously thinking of shutting this page down and saying to hell with FB. Twice in the last 48 hours I have stopped myself from doing so for no reason other than a “why don’t you see how it goes for awhile” attitude.

the number one problem with a Page is – afaik – there is no Search Box. i can’t find other people or pages by searching within FB. i have to go to an outside source like Google. What sense does that make?

It makes no sense to me to the point where I’m assuming I must be wrong about this. Why would they make it this stupid? There has to be a way to Search!

FB really, really, really sucks

I do remember life before FB,. it did not suck as much.

updated later in the day…my final FB post…

turns out switching to a Facebook Page makes no difference as to compliance with FB’s TOS. having two accounts – two different email addresses as your username(s) is a no-no. it’s not about Profiles vs Pages. it’s about having one account. okay then, i’m outta here. See you on Google+

My All-New (But Not Improved) Facebook Page

Earlier today I converted my personal Facebook account to a so-called Page to comply with their TOS. I’m not thrilled about that but then I’m not thrilled about Facebook anyway.

I don’t understand what they have against me just because I’m not “real.”

Facebook isn’t real but I’ve never held that against them.

Would you like to Like me on FB?
