    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.

    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.

      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 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're not alone - my wife and I have never signed up either. The whole concept just never appealed to us.

              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.

                              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.

                                      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.

                                      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"?
