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

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 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.

Never been on FB, my wife says I the only one, therefore it must be true.

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.

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.

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.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

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"?
|
|
|
|

I just deactivated my account for few days.

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!

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!)
