Deactivated Facebook
-
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.

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.

Just don't invite us to play your games.
"d@nish has invited you to play Apple Bob"
"d@nish has invited you to play Crushed Fruit"
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Oh that's no problem - they come through on an email I don't use anyway. But if you were the one who signed me up for the Gentleman's Enlargement Services spammers on my "real" email...:mad:

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...

To get answers for homework questions. 2-in-1. They could get answers while they use FB :laugh:

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.

I'm not a big fan of FB, however every once and a while it does prove to be useful. Found out today that a friend passed away over the weekend. Not someone I frequently see any more so it otherwise would have been a long time to find out otherwise.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

You really got my hopes up for a sec. I just checked, and the site's still up. So what do you mean, you "deactivated Facebook"?

It's never really gone. Even deactivated, it's a click away. The only thing that you can really change is your own behavior. :) Good luck! Marc

I just deactivated my account for few days.

I didn't deactivate it, just never used it, until I realized that most of the news about my family from my family was first reported on one of their walls, so I now at least check it regularly to make sure my family isn't doing anything too gloomy (I mean you, stepson!)
