Well, I don't have that many friends. And we all have e-mails and mobile phones.

Yeah, otherwise you would have to actually interact with friends, instead of leaving notes.

It seems suicide machine is too busy. Luckily, I have not been a facebook fiend for long so I manually deleted all my comments and everyone's comments to me and all my photos, etc. THEN I deleted my account. I guess if you deleted your account w/o deleting your content, your shit is still up there.

Let me know if you can see any of my shit up there. I'm curious.

I do feel a lot better, I'm not totally sold on the need for the internet.

I'm pretty sure I saw it up there in the last day or two. Maybe on the cellar group page? Just your name and mug shot.

But when I look for you there, you don't show up for me.

When did you take it down?

Facebook just let me know that it's my dead cousin's birthday. So I went to his wall. Lots of nice messages there. Most people are saying "Happy Birthday, RIP," and share fond memories, but some don't seem to realize he died. It was a month ago.

Kinda weird.

TheMercenary · 01-25-2011, 08:09 PM

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. RIP cous.

I plan to leave a folder in my files "in case of death" which has instructions to close out all my net stuff. How else would you do it if your heirs or family don't know?

Although I vigorously backpedal whenever I see something that wants to share my FB info, I am kinda liking the various commercial and organization pages. Lots of discounts, news and stuff.

That, and family photo sharing, are pretty good reasons imo to stick around. Carefully.

there exists such a program, a failsafe for such things

If you don't log in personally, it will delete history, bookmarks and such potentially embarrassing things. Use with caution however. If you go on vacation and forget it, you will come home to a sterilized computer.

I personally don't care for facebook at all, sooo

Happy Monkey · 02-04-2011, 07:35 PM

recently, on several sites, when I hit "back", nothing happens. I look at the site list, and Facebook has snuck in between the two sites on the forward/back list, even on computers on which I have never looked at facebook. I've seen this happen with other list-sneakers as well; before Facebook, it was often Google. It must be some stat-gathering redirect thing.

It's annoying.

I finally broke down and got a Facebook account. I put fake data in every field and used a spamcatcher email address, where I made a rule about anything coming from facebook is spam. Same with Domino's and a few other sites.

I do not game there, I only use it to browse my friend's accounts. I never accept friend requests, so don't ask. That leads to the dark side!

So I am relatively safe from Facebook bad things. My antivirus is up to date and the same goes for my malware killer(s). Added to the fact that I rarely go there and I ought to be okay.

Cloud · 02-20-2011, 02:46 PM

if anyone on the Cellar is active on FB and interested in being my FB friend, please pm me. I try to keep my flist small, but I'd like a few more friends/real people that are not connected to my work, and more of a variety of people (which we certainly have here).

no sweat if you're not interested!

TheMercenary · 02-21-2011, 12:07 PM

Now they want your passwords?!?! I think not.
