WARNING: Facebook Is Not Shutting Down Nov. 15; ‘Inactive’ Members Are Not Being Deleted

Same hoax, different date: Facebook is not overpopulated, and the accounts of inactive Facebook users will not be shut down Nov. 15. Hoax-Slayer reported that Facebook is already in the process of deleting hoax posts that suggest otherwise. According to Hoax-Slayer, Facebook users are receiving messages like these (unedited): Hi , this is a message from the creator of Facebook and it tells you a little bit about what is going to happen to Facebook on the 15th of November. Please don't send this back to the person you recieved it from. Dear Facebook members, Facebook is supposed to be closing down November 15th because it is becoming very overpopulated. There have been many members complaining that Facebook is becoming very slow. Records show that there are many active Facebook members and also many new members. We will be sending this message around to see if members are active or not.

Founder of facebook Mark Zuckerberg Subject: [Message from Facebook] Facebook is recently becoming very overpopulated,there have been many members complaining that Facebook is becoming very slow. Records show that the reason is that there are too many non-active Facebook members and, on the other side, too many new Facebook members. We will be sending this message around to see if members are active or not. If you are active please send to at least 15 other users using Copy+ Paste to show that you are still active. Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks will be deleted without hesitation to create more space. Send this message to all your friends and to show me that your still active and you will not be deleted. Founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg Hoax-Slayer said the messages do not appear to be harmful, and are merely a nuisance, adding: Some online services do have a policy of terminating accounts that have been inactive for a specified period. However, in such cases, the service would almost certainly attempt to contact the user directly to warn of an impending account termination. It is simply absurd to suggest that the service would require its users to send on a particular message to others in order to prove that they are active members. Such services already know if a member is active via login records and other means. They do not require the reposting of a vague and poorly written message to ascertain a member's level of activity on the network. Pranksters use this ruse because it is a very successful method of ensuring that a hoax message spreads far and wide. If you receive this message, please do not pass it on to others and let the sender know that the information is untrue. Such hoaxes do nothing more than clutter up our social networks and email inboxes with even more pointless garbage. Readers: Have you seen any similar messages?
