Hey guys have you ever noticed that after every week or so you get atleast one message(usually forwarded) saying that Due to sudden rush of people signing on to orkut, the website is deleting some profiles, and yours may be one of them, so do this this and that that and your profile will be safe and not be deleted?.... havr you ever wondered that this may just be one of the pranks that someone had played and that its still being circulated and the one who started it is laughing his head off?...... Just tell me whether you feel that this is true or just hoax....maybe you might even know someone with a deleted profile.........

In a week i get arounf=d 4-5 messages from my friend all telling that orkut is deleting in active user profile. But I verified with the Orkut team and got to know that it is a hoax and they are not at all deleting. As Orkut respect the user's privacy.

Yes, I have encountered with such mails also, but i don't think orkut is deleting profiles. I think due to sudden rush of spammers on orkut, The orkut administration has slowly moved this mail amongst the Orkut users, so that anyone having the fake profile or spammers theirselves deletes their profile. I don't know anyone whose profile has been deleted by orkut.
