    Hahah, I actually proudly deleted my facebook a few days back.
    I realized it is a huge waste of time and it is really better to see my friends in person then read their status udpates, I noticed it kind of make my friendships worse because I started seeing friends less, idunno it was odd haha. But maybe I'll go back on it just for now im taking a break ;)
    Well you see on facebook there are some pages like ten club and pearl jam that you can become a fan of, and so i think the ten club page is where many are friend requesting, some dude named demetrios tried to add me like three times lol
    :lol::lol:

    CALLED OUT, D!

    may i be your friend PJ kidd? I promise to keep the creepiness to a minimum ;)

    Hahha yeah, but im staying strong! I will not go back! It takes 2 weeks to permanently delete the account, as fb wants you to cave in and log back in, but ive noticed ive been way more productive since i got off fb so i might make this permanent

    well if you have any photos you want to save first, i found a firefox program that lets you d/l all of them right from FB onto your computer... i found it useful since i never backed anything up... its called facePAD

    Here's something. Have you had any of your family member's ask you why your friends are adding them out of the blue on Facebook? I had 3 friends (about to delete a 4th tonight) who been doing this & it's sick. They have over 500 friends (one has 2 thousand) & each day their friend tally rises a dozen every few hours.

    It's great now the "See my friend list" privacy is working.

    "This helps real world friends identify you by friends you have in common. Your friend list is always available to applications and your connections to friends may be visible elsewhere."

    I have it set to Only Me but if friends & family member's post on your wall, any of your friends who are not connected with them can add them.

    It all has to do with people just wanting to show how popular they are. I've gotten requests from people I didn't even know and always rejected them. Even going through college I only had like 130 "friends" and a few months ago I deleted a bunch of people I don't keep in contact with and I'm now down to 62. There's still a few people I rarely talk to but I enjoy their company. Sorry for hijacking the thread to talk about my own circumstances. :p

    But yeah it's definitely just people not caring who "friends" them.


    If someone is really popular in the real world, they wouldn't have time to spend time looking for so many facebook friends!

    That's fucked, I just pray that this ex-colleague of mine doesn't go requesting my ''hot'' cousins add him :?
