David Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Just seen on my homepage a group against paying for Facebook, had a little nosey in there and it has over 1 million members. Apparently if Facebook is sold new owners will want to charge users a monthly fee to use Facebook. I searched in Google and theres quite a few sites running articles at the backend of last year on the subject Facebook are looking to charge people. So would you pay to use Facebook?

David Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Doubt PTR would be pleased with his fanpages for every Derby player and staff over the last 100 years. Cost him a fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 I dread to think how many hours that have gone into creating all those fanpages be a shame if he had to start paying for them tho. The figures that are being mentioned are £2pm, it's not exactly bank breaking although everyone will migrate to Bebo or Myspace. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest to be honest I can live without Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being funny but everyone is putting their prices up, and now FB are on about making people pay, it's kicking our country when they are down, and i tell you, this would kill a LARGE portion of facebooks usage. All those who only use it once a week - gone. All those who only use it when bored - gone. All those who just refuse to pay - gone. I think they'll lose ATLEAST half of their current users if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think these groups are fake and make rumours to get loads of members. If Facebook did charged, then pardon my french they can get *****. They already are funded by tacky adverts. I think MySpace was better then everyone ran off to Facebook. I'm thinking of moving back to MySpace. I want coloured profiles that you can edit yourself, much more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
