    Yes, that's what I did. It has been two days and I and my internet usage has already reduced. I will go back to it in a while but for now, I do not really miss it. So, if I post any crap apart from that in my previous posts and this one, you know you can blame FB.

        I have stopped posting anything relevant or not relevant to facebook years ago. I just keep it going as there is a couple of games that I like to play over lunch while at work.

              Yep. I went and found the "download a zip file of everything I've ever posted to facebook" feature, did that, then did a full delete of the account. I think they had a one week lag time before they'd confirm deletion for you to sign back in and reset the clock. I did it.. I think a year and a half ago or something. I sure miss the extended family pictures. But... meh. That's about it.

                  I was going to do that but my wife wanted it to look up old friends and didn't want to create her own account (very sensible).

                  - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                        you are not alone. In 2008 I signed up using work email as we're looking to write an auxiliary component for our software. The project got killed in 3 days. It was the best decision we made. I have a dormant account with no friends and no post of what so ever. I still use that account if I am forced to log in to FB, apart from that I'm a non-existent in the FB world. ;)

                        Yusuf May I help you?

                          Me neither. I came through uni just before it became a Thing, so I didn't sign up there, and then it was for students after I graduated, and by the time it became open I knew I didn't want it. I guess there are probably quite a few 30-31 year olds in the same position.

                            Just don't invite us to play your games.

                            It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                      I'm sorry to have missed that, Eliza.

                                      I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

                                        I did that about twenty minutes after I signed up for it...and I haven't been back, though I keep getting "friend requests" from people I've never heard of...

                                        This has happened to me once since 2007. I don't know why people complain this. May be it is because my language on FB is almost never kid sister friendly.
