    I lasted 3 months back in 2011 or so... found out that I really didn't like many of my "friends".

    LMFAO! I quite once before and came back because one seaninmich said that I had to be there for my business. If I could take my personal account off and leave my business account, I would. The dirty SOB's make you have that personal account though.

    Absolutely, this site is as close as I get to "social network". As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of starting an "anti-social network". It suits my personality better.

    There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more. Lord Byron

    So get this... you can never really get rid of a Facebook account. I closed mine six years ago right? Well this past summer I started get email notifications about new activity on my Facebook wall. I went and checked it out... some screwball using a Tokyo Japan IP address was using my account and email for who knows what.

    I imagine it was some Chinaman or Russian hiding behind a VPN and using my account for nefarious activity.

    In addition to this FB also will build profiles for people who never signed up. FB built a fairly accurate bio of a relative of mine thru what other people posted about this person. It has pics, birthday, family members.. etc.

    I never had a facebook account. After repairing computers for over 30 years and seeing all the things that go on "behind the scenes", I don't want to open an account. Like Bob W, these forums are my social network.

    Apparently I've pissed off my wife,and caused grief for shutting it off because that is how she sends me messages.She said I have to have at least one of the 2 accounts open
