Thinking of creating a Hobby Facebook account

I have a Facebook account and I have not encountered any problems either. However, everything pertaining to my whole persona/name/accounts are separate from real life. Use a different IP address to login, never add your real life friends, never add your real profile on FB, never use the same email address for FB, and never put the same pictures on your fake FB account that are also your real FB account!

I'd like to think of my FB account as a way to keep it "social" with my clients. I have a social life too, and I'd like it to go beyond the realm of eccie. I'd even like to think of my FB as my "Celebrity" Account!

Personally, I think its a bad idea to mix-up hobby personas on a public social site. Think about it, there are a lot of "underage" people that use FB and a hobby account would just be a huge flashing arrow, if someone were to figure it out and decide to investigate.
For goodness sake don't do it. Even if you use a proxy for browsing your IP address can be identified through the headers in your email.

What emails? If you're talking about email communications originating from FB contacts, how is that any riskier than emailing strangers you meet through BP, or ECCIE, for that matter.

Same with other "friends". I've defriended several people already that I suspected were pimps or not who they said they were. I'm about to go through the list again and cull out more names, and I've started ignoring more friend requests from people who don't identify themselves or aren't using recognizable handles.

I may still give it up, though. I'm not finding it to be that valuable to my hobby experience. So far I've met one new UTR provider there, but that is it. It had helped me with real-time info regarding availability of a few other gals, too, but notwithstanding some of the precautions I'm taking, the risk/reward still seems skewed against me when I compare it to ECCIE.

I just wish this site would invest in some improvements to keep up with social networking sites.

For goodness sake don't do it. Even if you use a proxy for browsing your IP address can be identified through the headers in your email.

If I had the time to manage the account and keep track of it for my civvie self I might do it. But I'd want it to be me, not a pseudo-persona or a hustle. Trying to overlay that onto attracting or making hobby connections would quickly get too complicated, I suspect. I do know that once a FB virtual presence has been established it's hard to terminate it and the member can't eliminate the archive. FB keeps it.
