It is VERY addicting... I think its even more so than any other site because you get notification and stuff on your cell phone. So even when you are not in front of a computer you can still access it.

Well, thank goodness we no longer get Web access on our cell phones!

LOL, I was just talking about this in another thread....;-)

I just joined like last week and I dont like it.....not fun for me...so, as of right now, I don't see me becoming addicted to it at all.....not like the IV boards! now, these are addicting!! LOL

For one, I don't understand Face Book.....I don't get the whole point of it(I know, people say it's so you can keep in touch with others. but we have email for that! LOL) ...so, maybe that's why I don't think it's fun...LOL

Well, people can find you via your high school info, which they can't do via email. Problem for me is that many of them I don't really WANT to find, and most aren't really people I have anything in common with outside of a building we attended at the same time! I have no big high school hangups, no lingering trauma or drama, but neither do I feel a need to be closely connected with anyone from that time in my life! I have connected with an old neighbor, a few others that it has been interesting to say "HEY" to and all that, but honestly I don't feel a need to have them IN my life, or knowing what I'm doing if that makes sense (or knowing what they are doing).

I do have a bunch of old internet friends from an IV board that was taken away, I enjoy being connected to them because we have a common bond (kids the same age), so that part is fun. I enjoy seeing photos and I enjoy goofing off with some IRL friends who are on there (for example, my friend who is also my yoga instructor always busts me for staying up too late watching Survivor and drinking wine the day before class!).

Anyway, it has a purpose and I enjoy it, but it's not in the least addicting after the initial learning curve, at least not for me. I have NOTHING that comes via internet to my phone, only actual phone calls come there, so I'm good in that regard!

I did e-mail her that she was being silly and she should just post and not worry about the troll.Hopefully she will come back.
