FaceBook and PureSim

Guys, after doing some research I think I'd like to migrate the PureSimmers online community to FaceBook. FaceBook is cleaner, easier to maintain and will provide me with even more ways to deeply integrate the game into a social network.
Would you guys mind migrating over to FaceBook? Its painless to sign up, and it's so ridiculously popular many of you probably already have a FaceBook account (its free of course).
I think it could be a better conduit through which to spread the word about PureSim. Apologies for anyone that has fallen in love with the PureSimmers group on NING but I will be migrating to FaceBook ASAP.
Please take the time to sign up, I promise this will be our last stop in social networking land! Again, I apologize, but the FaceBook model is more scalable and gives me more opportunity to integrate the game into the social network.

I deactivated my account. Facebook has privacy issues connected to it.

Me too - and to be honest I didnt like the format or style for use as a "forum" or "newsgroup"

So you guys like puresimmers.ning.com better or is the social networking experiment not interesting in general?

I'm all for the networking, but didn't like Facebook's unwelcome spyware. After signing up, it dumped several dataminers onto my PC. Didn't have that problem with Ning.

You know, it's interesting how I happened to be chatting with my wife about the move to Facebook and she looked at me with great concern. She mentioned a lot of negative news she's heard about them. Though Facebook is a "bigger" name, I would really prefer to opt out.

I'm cancelling my facebook, too. Bad vibes, bad rep, bad experience.
Ning was a little easier to use too, it seemed.

Well, I guess Shaun didn't know about Facebook's bad publicity. If any of you guys wanna stay with it, then you'll need to run Adaware after each login/logout.
After I deactivated my account and cleaned my PC again, I've had no further issues.
This makes me wonder about MySpace, too. I've never created an account there.

I did the same. Since I deactivated I am now clean as well.
My Space seems to be Ok if you do not do the updates.or get the IM. I would like to stay with Ning.

I'd vote for Ning.
Myspace... just has no appeal to me, for a variety of reasons that I would rather not get into.
