Apparently, not everyone is a facebook junkie fo' lyfe

Following several accounts of unhappy users and even a couple of threats of law suits, Facebook has fixed the "technical difficulties" involved with deleting one's profile completely. According to Katie Germinder, Facebook's director for user experience and design, when the site's team first tried to make deleting accounts easier, the changes created a technical snag that only affected a few users. "None of their information was exposed, but the empty account continued to exist even though all of its data had been removed,” she said. But now, the bug has been exterminated and usrs can now erase their account for good.

“It’s pretty obvious that Facebook are scared of losing loads of members if they made the delete option easily available,” Mr. Wallin, the creator of the facebook group "How to permenentally delete your profile said.

So if you're "soo over the 'book" you can now completely devote your online attention to some other time-wasting site. Why not try to bring back friendster ?
