Much prefer the escapist. At least this way old boyfriends that I dumped years ago for cheating on me can't find me and be all "HEEEYYY wuts goin on gurl" and crap like that. :|
Plus, most of the friends I had back in my home town were fleeting ones at best; I have no particular desire to get in touch with any of them, or any of my extended family.

I agree with this man here. Facebook is social and The Escapist is entertainment, so they can rarely be compared to one-another.Eumersian said:
However, The Escapist DOES have a lot of social-networking elements to it( Private messages, profiles, etc), but it's not it's main focus.
Um... both? These two sites are so radically different that it's impossible to compare them. I tend to end up with two browser tabs open, one running Facebook and the other running the Escapist.
That said, the Escapist is my home page, so I suppose that it may have the edge over Facebook in that regard.

The Escapist. It's easier to manage, it has a ton of fun to check out and interesting discussions. Facebook is a lot more mindless, I only use it to post funny videos and keep in touch with people. 
On group pages, there's a discussion section which is pretty much forms.Ham_authority95 said:

I currently have two tabs open on my internet. One is facebook, the other is the Escapist. I use both very frequently.
The Escapist I think I prefer though. Some of my best friends are on facebook, but the idiots who I accepted friend requests from out of indifference outweigh them. Here, there are a lot of intelligent people.

How do you compare them? I mean these are two website meantfor very different things. I use Facebook to stay in touch with friends, find out what they've been to, chat with them, share funny videos, organise nights out ect. I can add people I've just met or new friends and get to know them better.
Escapist? It's place where I come to talk with random strangers on the internet about inane things such as making the bed in the morning or what kind of music I like. Given the volume of posts on the escapist most of the time my replies just go un-noticed. It's all simply a big waste of time when I should be doing more important work such as UCAS or course work...
"Lol I'm not on Facebook, look how cool and self important I am, I'm so fucking counter culture."
