Not just down for a few hours or a day, but down for good. What if one day the company behind Facebook decided "no more" and shut it all down? It might be easy to say you'd just move on, but would it be that easy to do? It seems like Facebook is integrated into so many parts of our lives - I have many groups related to school and work that I'm going, we all store pictures that may or may not be backed up elsewhere, and we honestly seem to rely an awful lot on Facebook even though it could theoretically go down for good any minute. Thoughts? |

That's true about photos. I often think about the way I store mine and they're not all backed up somewhere else. I think I'd be ok with losing most of them, but some of them are pretty precious to me. I guess that'd be the main thing I'd miss. |

I think I have most of mine in iCloud still, but that could go down as well. Even just saving them on my phone itself is risky, since I could lose my phone or it could crash. But I guess even with printed photos, you risk losing/burning them or something. |

All of the game companies I follow on Facebook I also follow on Twitter, so if Facebook shut down it would not affect me at all. |

I have everyone I care about's phone numbers, I have nothing important on there. So you know. My answer really is 'meh'. |

Something else would pop up. But to answer the question: I don't use facebook anymore. I only do it to stalk on people lol. Or to talk to people from forums that's basically it. I do upload pictures but none worth saving for eternity really. |

I don't think I'd care too much. I mean other then keeping touch with a few people, I'd be bummed, but could likely contact em other ways that aren't as easy. Most of the photos I have on there I've got saved elsewhere. Might be harder to keep up with certain news on ponies and Sailor Moon too, but I'd likely could deal. |

I'm not too worried. I don't have anything precious on there. I do invest a lot of time in Facebook, but I've been trying to decrease my time there because school is about to begin. And I hate it when I'm on Facebook on my phone. It's truly an awful experience. |

More or less the same for me. Why is the phone bad? |

At first, I'd be mildly inconvenienced - but 99% of my interactions on the site are with people I'm also able to contact elsewhere anyway. The full extent of the effect it would have on my life would probably only be realized a few months later, when I went to fetch something from Facebook >_< . |
