These bastards won't secure your information, and then they refuse to remove it from their servers. At this point, I will never trust them again, but maybe they can prevent others from getting to this point.

I've only registered a fake account to access things when I need to. Other than that, I have Facebook completely blocked.

There seems to be no simple way to delete your Afterdawn profile either, nor many parts of them. I went through and laboriously edited all my blogs to be blank but couldn't actually delete them. When I tried to go and edit old comments on shoutboxes, I couldn't do that either. If I replaced a comment with a dot (the closest thing it lets you do to blanking it, it left didn't truly delete my comment, it just added a new "." comment to the most recent shoutbox pages. Yes I know about letting the newsletter go to spam for several months. But that just deactivates the profile, not really takes it away. And unlike a lot of people I don't feel the need to go around pissing people off just to be banned.
