    Call me `old fashioned` but I have never bothered with a FB account. If I wanted to keep ex school friends or friends as I grew up then I would still keep in contact with them on the phone. My hubby goes on fb and it seems to me that lots of old `friends` dig you up then add you as a friend then find out what your life is like, then move on??

    I really don`t understand the whole thing of FB???

    I am not putting anyone down that wants to use it as a social thing, but would be interested to know the `pro`s` and how it works for you???

    No, I still have facebook and can't see ever deleting mine. Between shift work and a chronic illness it is a great way for me to keep in touch with family and friends.

    I don't deal in drama, so I don't participate in the drama that sometimes arises in my feed...

    Have a great day!

    I have deactivated my account a few times. Now it´s there but I don´t use it much. The only reason I have it is because I have relatives in other countries I have gotten to know all over again through FB and I want to keep that connection alive. Otherwise I don´t use it much. If you guys want your life to be private then don´t post pictures and don´t post private things on your walls, simple, no need to deactivate or delete.

    Just out of interest for anyone that uses the same name on FB as MFP or just posts pics...if you got to google images and type in your user name, all your pics will be there for the world to see!!

    So any pics you have posted on MFP/FB in your undies are on google images lol!

    I deleted mine 2 years ago, and haven't once felt the need for it. Being in the dating scene, in my opinion, this keeps dates from stalking me before a date, and forces them to get to know me through good 'ole fashion conversation. Also, for me personally, everyone who I ever want to commmunicate with is in my phone book. The more I looked at it, the less I needed it. I applaud you for ridding yourself of it!

    no, and i never will. I keep in touch with lots of old friends and relatives that live far away with it.

    ^This. Plus, I belong to a lot of online running-related groups and stuff like that, some I found through Facebook and some through "real life" running buddies. I am also a freelance photographer for local bands in my free time, and keep in touch with people for shows and things like that. I find it fun and interesting, but it depends on how you use it, I guess. I post stuff about my running activities, shows I'm going to/photographing, and positive/inspirational quotes and pictures that motivate me. I don't have a lot of social drama in my life...what little I have, I keep to myself and don't post on Facebook. I also don't have any coworkers on my Facebook.

    Question, if you do delete your Facebook account - wonder if you should delete ALL your friends first - then de-activate your account? That way, they don't see your name still on their Friends List.

    I think it's odd you can still see De-activated Friends on your Friends List. I don't like that.

    Thoughts?
    If you deactivate, they still see your account in their friends list. If you delete, they do not.

    Deleted FB over a year ago. I don't miss it. My friends have to actually CALL me to find out what's going on in my world. How archaic :-)

    I never signed up in the first place. It's funny how many people tried to force me to have a profile, down to ex-girlfriends and ex-friends threatening to make an account for me ... I told them that would be immediate dismissal. They never did, so far as I know, they're exes for other reasons.

    Had facebook for about two years then I was pissed off by my best friend telling me she was getting married in an update. Deleted, not regretting it at all. Btw, since I'm using whatsapp.. well.
