I don't use facebook but what you did it's what I would've done if I had the same problem.

I was an active Facebook user for over a year, then on a whim decided to see if it was actually possible to delete an account. Three hours later, I was off Facebook. However, I recently started with a new account meant purely for business use. It's difficult to say you're a Web Media Specialist and not be on the 2nd biggest social networking website!

the spam is finally lowering thanks to the apps new restrictions.

but yeah i can imagine, i got few friends not even 100 and i get spam, i cannot imagine those with over 1000 contacts.

I'm not too bothered about the applications, I just get very fed up of people posting all the chain posts on my walls. So I was very pleased to receive this the other day:

Hello, my name is Medwin and I suffer from guilt for not forwarding 50 billion f***ing chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe, if you send them on, a poor six-year-old girl in Scotland with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a travelling freak show.

And, do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give $1000 to you, and everyone to whom you send 'his' email?

How stupid are we?

Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day!

What a bunch of bullshit.

Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and sodomise me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by St Peter in 5AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrim stowaways on the Endeavour.

F*** 'em!!

If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing.

I've seen all the 'send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being' forwards about 90 times. I don't f***ing care.

Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's our own unpopularity.

The point being?

If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it.

If it's funny, send it on.

Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the arse of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this email.

Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals.

Have a nice day.

Ps Send me £20.00 then f*** off

Made my day!

non of my friends really use facebook, they are all myspace users. I dont care either way though

Duh, ironically i returned to facebook again, and saw 70% of my best friends are gone.
