Facebook Is A Downer

This is the thing most webmasters don't think about. When a user deactivates, closes, or deletes his or her account, it should be totally erased from a given website's database upon cancellation leaving absolutely no trace. It's be as if that user had never registered at that website. This might mean that if a user decides to re-register an account, he or she will have to re-enter his or her info., but it also has the advantage of allowing the user to start fresh (like I'd like to do on PayPal, Google, Yahoo, and a bunch of other sites).

John, I found information on deletion at this site:

I don't know how thorough it is, but if you want to go back to facebook you are starting from scratch with the deletion. I can still go back and regain my account with deactivating...but I don't know if I want to.

I deleted my Facebook account maybe 2 years ago. Couldn't have made a better decision. I wish my wife would kill her account. She spends anywhere from 1 hour to all damn day on it.

Thanx, but no thanx. I don't care for the way Frakbook works.

You were saying you didnt think you could delete an account, in response to me saying i might delete my account. I was sharing where i found the information about deleting.

Note to self: no matter what he calls himself...John/Dracks/Drax/Datalyss/Mortal Sphincter will always be annoying.

Sorry. I shoulda been clearer. I meant thanks for the link, but I'm not interested in Frakbook one bit. I just wanted to know how you did it cuz I knew users could de-activate their account, but not delete it completely.
