Poll: Would You Shut Down Facebook?

[AgDr_ODST]

I would minimize the window, and figure out who among my friends, I keep in contact with only via facebook against why I hardly ever go to the site now adays before clicking no....Now if this little button would shut down zynga or destroy the servers of every social media game on the site.....I'd click yes in a bloody heartbeat

 

[Wondermint13]

I'm not gonna screw everyone else over because i don't like it.

Call yourself an Escapists???

 

[Yoshemo]

Normally, yes. But its the only way I feel comfortable communicating with my family and old high school friends so I'd keep it

 

[hyzaku]

Nope. It helps me keep in touch with my friends from my hometown.

 

[Angerwing]

Honestly, I'd probably hit yes. Because I'd obviously think it was a joke, and I'm the kind of guy who thinks he's a clever dick when trolling a computer.

If I knew it would work? I'd say no.

 

[Ashsaver]

Nope,Facebook is a favorite website to a lot of people just like the Escapist.

 

[Wondermint13]

So long as Shut Down means the use of Nukes... then totally!

 

[Nova Helix]

Honestly yes, just for the lulz.

 

[Nopraptor]

Hell ya! I think that site has crippled modern society in a way never seen before on our planet, it has annihilated the social life of so many people.

for god's sake people have committed suicide because they were being bullied through it!

 

[OldAccount]

Yes. Out of Spite.

I have my reasons.

 

[ChicagoTed]

I would love to see some people without facebook for a day or two.

I already have and it's the funniest shit you will ever see. Infact it was my sister, her Blackberry was on the fritz and I wouldn't let her on my pc just to go and spend the entire day on facebook *well I never let her on it to begin with*. Fast forward a few hours and she starts to freak just because she couldn't change her stasus or check her friends comments, the next day one of her friends came round to our house just because my sister wasn't on facebook for single night. Seriously it sad fuckers like those that make me hate human kind as a whole.

So yes even though I don't have an account I would make one just to click yes and then I would go round telling everyone it was me who was responsible.

 

[The Funslinger]

I would click yes, then buy as many shares in MySpace as a could. Anyway, I don't have it, and a lot of people I know seem to say douchey things to each other exclusively with facebook, so I'd be helping them. Besides, it's not as if they wouldn't just flock to another website. Hence my MySpace stock plan.

 

[DarthFennec]

I despise facebook and everything about social networking. I've been pulled into that once before, and I never want to do that shit again.

I would click `no'. Actually I'd just close out of my browser but that's beside the point. The thing is, I may not like that fucking website, but who am I to tell other people that they can't use it, just because of that? What they do is their choice, and they should be entitled to their own opinions and their own choices, same as I.

I've had people force me to use FB. I don't like that feeling at all. I don't want to inflict that upon anyone, by forcing them away from it.

 

[Cheesus333]

I would. I have an account, but I feel like it more has me than vice versa: at some point, the roles of decision-maker and loyal follower were reversed in our symbiotic relationship, and shortly after that it wasn't even symbiotic anymore. It's just parasitic, feeding off my time and using my name as a number to bolster its statistics.

Maybe it would screw over everyone, but it wouldn't be any more than a week before something else came along, which would almost inevitably be better anyway.

Then I could ruin that for everyone too.

 

[Yureina]

No.

But maybe I'd sell it to someone who would want to make that decision for me...

 

[Sarah Frazier]

I really can't decide on this one...

On the one hand, it's a good way to talk to people who may not all have Yahoo or MSN or whatever other messengers there are out there. You can keep up to date with how people feel and who has been doing what.

On the other hand, all those apps... If you get one person who tries out every app, chances are you'll be flooded with invites, updates for any achievements, and requests to help get something done. Also, some personal updates are just pointless or gross or otherwise things that you would think nobody cares to hear about.

 

[jawakiller]

Yes, Damn them all to hell. No, i'd do it cuz I'm tired of people talking about it. Twitter too. Damn that to hell too. And any other social site for that matter. At least all the sites that have no other purpose other than socializing.

 

[Laurie Barnes]

Absolutely Vodka! You are damn right, I would do it without warning and watch people's heads explode. It would be funny and wouldn't likely cause any long term damage after the suicides had returned to the baseline. You know that there are a ton of these fledgling websites waiting in the wings for Facebook to tank so they can scurry in and nibble on the remains.

 

[Mr. Gency]

Yes, Damn them all to hell. No, i'd do it cuz I'm tired of people talking about it. Twitter too. Damn that to hell too. And any other social site for that matter. At least all the sites that have no other purpose other than socializing.

I mean what do you all think it is? A social network? Are we gonna start socializing now?
