    Mine is still intact ;) I don't troll, but I have false first and last name in the profile. I have this account for almost 5 years.

    Facebook, what a joke. I wouldn't join even with a fake account. :)

    There are some groups on Facebook. You don't need to know anybody to be in some group about sport. You can read other people posts not knowing them.

    I guess. Maybe that's it. I'm just not interested in popular stuff.
