I have to confess, I quite like Facebook. It’s devoid of the level of morons that MySpace is infected with, but there are still the odd few. For example, how many of you have received messages from ‘friends’ on Facebook along the lines of this one?

Facebook is going to clear facebook accounts if ..

We all know that Facebook is an extraordinary social network where you can talk to friends, find old friends, and so much more.

The Facebook team is well aware that Facebook is getting too over populated due to the fact registrations have increased 50% since February 15 2008. At there signing in database, it shows that more than a quarter of the members of Facebook hasn’t log in their accounts in over a month.

So where is this leading to you may ask. Facebook is clearing their entire data base and deleting users of who have not sent this message to their friends. If you are one of the following people, you will get your user account wiped and would have to re add all your friends. So send this message to as many of your friends as you can, I know you don’t want to start all over from scratch so send away, show your pride for members Facebook!

Now, just how stupid have you got to be to forward that? There are also groups along similar themes, and the MySpace crowd who are new to Facebook always seem to be the ones who join them.

If you get sent a message like that on Facebook, don’t forward it, delete it. I certainly don’t want to be sent it!
