I understand that Facebook is going to start charging $4.99 per month for memberships beginning next month. A friend of mine referred me to a petition against this change. I know that I, for one, will stop using Facebook if they start charging me. What do you all think???

I don't think they're going to start charging to use Facebook. There have been incidents like this in the past, where rumours start about Facebook charging their users, but it never really amounts to anything. They stand the risk of losing a lot of their members if they start charging, so. :)

Well, I got this info off my Facebook from a friend I trust. Whether or not it was true, I did sign the petition, just to let FB know that I would leave if they stopped being free.
BTW...That question above this post was a mistake...I meant for it to go on the above post. A glitch in the works. :)

Do your research before you decide to believe something so ridiculous. Facebook has never and will never charge for use of the site.

Trust me, this kinda rummors was started also about yahoo messenger and email and also was an attempt about twitter.
I am 100000% sure facebook will not become a "monthly fee membership site". Never.

I dont think that is true. I think that is just a rumor. If that would be true, I am sure that only few members will be left. I dont think people will pay $5 dollars just to stay in facebook, especially in my country where people are stingy or/and having a monetary crisis.

I think it is just a rumor. Well...if it really happens, I will leave facebook. It is not a problem. There are some other social networking sites out there.
