Quote from oldtime:
thought I was signing up for an online poker game and got hoodwinked into opening up a face book account. I've done everything to delete it, reported as spam, etc. There is even another thread on ET about it, and finally the face book emails started dropping off, and then out of the blue, just this week I get a msg from facebook that an old girlfriend wants to be friends. Funny, because that's not what she told me that last time I pissed her off.
I don't know If I'll ever be completely free from facebook.
(and there really never was an online poker game)
i've been terrified to even go anywhere near facebook. I'm not too cool with a computer. How do I do it? Do I dare go to the facebook website? And then what do I do?Quote from bhardy307:
When I deleted, there was an actual option to fully delete. If I remember, they subjected me to a 30 day wait period. If I logged in, in that 30 day period, the "full delete" would be cancelled. I didn't log on for two whole months, just to be sure. I then tried to log in, sure enough, my account truly was gone.
Give it a shot, Oldtime.

in just minutes I got bombarded with email from facebook and just about everybody else that wants to check my credit and sell me insurance
like when I started out, I was in the accumulation phase and the old guys were in the preservation phase of investing
I guess it's the same way now, young kids want to be known, us old guys want to remain private
nobody knows me? that's cool, the more the better
ok thanks, I tried asking all this on the software thread I think it was. I don't know why nobody could tell me that. If it works it was pretty simple.Quote from bhardy307:
OK, now DON'T LOG IN AGAIN!!!
Wait 60 days, just to be safe, then try logging in and see if you're still there.

Don't live in denial. If I am looking at hiring and my choices are between 2 different people, and i cant decide because they are equally qualified...I'm going to facebook them.
If I had two choices, If one had a facebook account and the other didn't, I would probably figure the one that did was just another average dipshit.Quote from peilthetraveler:
