How I did it: Facebook is stupid, useless and it ruins a lot of your "friend relationships". I had people writing mean stuff on my walls, and since I didn't have the strength to write mean stuff on THEIR walls or tell them to stop, I just deleted my account. It made me feel SO much better! I now know that those kind of sites are just idiotic and they don't matter. Read how I did it…

whenever I click to get to my cheers (I need to catch up on 4 or 5 pages of cheers), I’m redirected to the facebook website.
whatthehell.
I don’t want to be on facebook. I just want to catch up on cheers! If you cheered me in the last 2-3 weeks & I haven’t cheered you back yet: sorry. Blame the robots.
Also! I was on facebook for maybe a week (a year ago) and I thought I did delete my account..
How can it impossible to delete a facebook account? That’s not right. If I have to have a facebook account in order to use 43Things, I think I’ll have to delete everything here.
not interested in being on facebook.
Since it’s impossible to eliminate your account, try this:
1. Change your email. Put a fake one or someone you don’t know.
2. Change your password. Type a random password, one that you will forget 10 min later.
(Steps 1 and 2 are to relieve yourself from the temptation of going back)
3. Deactivate your account. Remember to click the checkbox where it says “Not to receive more info. from Facebook”.
I think it will go well from here. I’m not thrilled by the idea right now, but at least I’ll get a more real life. I’m planning to leave MSN Messenger within the next year. Can’t wait!
I deleted my studivz (German facebook) 3 days ago and I am having second thoughts :/ . But I want at least stay that way till the finals are over :)
my reasons for deleting:
- all the stalking (not only being stalked, but also me stalking others)
- being “friends” with people I don’t really care about
- and of course: being addicted
look4more tough girl in a rough world...
because i’m tired of talking to people i don’t even know/like
Beckyymuffins. is a "Creative Extroverted Self-Knower"
... but it’s totally distracting me during exams so my boyfriend has changed my password so I can’t get into it for the time being.
Kinda the same thing really…

Before I do the deed and rid my life of facebook forever, there are a few things that must be done. They are:
- Contact the people I wish to remain in touch with via facebook or email and gather their contact details. This means inputting numbers in my new phone and finally adding addresses to my email address book!
- Upload all my photos to flickr.
- Save any photos I’ve been meaning to pinch from friend’s profiles.
- Work out what to do with Rebels and Rascals – perhaps make a freewebs for it. Notify members that I’m leaving facebook…
Oh golly goshers I’m excited about this goal!!
I joined facebook many years ago to keep up
with friends still in London & abroard.
It seemed a neat idea to have a page where
all my friends were together & I could send
cutsy gifts & such.
The past year however it has become increasingly
weird with all manner of people sending friend requests.
Some I do not know, others from my past who were never
very friendly when they spoke to me in person !!
Ive always been quite careful to whom Ive given my
email to, but the facebook application seems way
to open to abuse.
Im not the type of person who is very bothered about
how MANY friends I have, just the quality of the
relationships.
Ive just emailed my friends to let them know
& deleted my account. Many already were aware of the
freaky, weirdness I was experiencing.
Warning….
Just deleting your account isn’t enough.
The account stays active & you can still be ‘found’.
You need to delete all posts, friends, photos,
applications etc manually & change name & email.
Then delete.
Im so pleased Ive done it : D
YAY for me….its been bugging me a lot!
