I'm seriously thinking about downloading and deleting everything I've put up on facebook over the past few years and closing or deleting my account. I have my main account, then two 'pages' I created. One page is a 100 sonnets project I'm working on. The second is just a page I created in order to communicate with readers; however, I found this message when I visited the latter today:
After doing just a few minutes of googling, I found this:
My concern is that I can lose control of this page and any other I create. Why would an author want to create a page to communicate with his readers then have it taken over by the community and lose control of it?
It makes much more sense to me to move everything over to my own website, mikeduron.com, and just operate out of there. I can spike the cannon in a sense by simply posting one last post on each account -- my main account, and each page I've already created -- BUT, what's to say Facebook won't just declare my 100 sonnets page a community-created page in the future?
So ... I think the best course of action actually would be a combination of both plans. Rather than spike the cannon (post one last post as a link to my own website) or simply shove it overboard (delet all content and close the accounts), it may be best to delete everything I can THEN post a link to my own website as a final post.
Something like, "Please visit me at mikeduron.com"

On the other hand, it looks like I'll finish the first draft of my current WIP here in the next few days. I'm planning to publish it to Amazon (after a few revisions of course) on August the 1st of this year.
This Page has been recategorized as a Community Page
Community Pages represent causes, topics and ideas (as opposed to official entities such as businesses, bands and public figures). This change has not affected your Page’s presence on Facebook. If you think your Page has been miscategorized, let us know.
After doing just a few minutes of googling, I found this:
...
On the community sign-up page, Facebook states that you can Generate support for your favorite cause or topic by creating a Community Page. If it becomes very popular (attracting thousands of fans), it will be adopted and maintained by the Facebook community....Please note that you will not be able to edit the name of a Page after it has been created.
The key here is adopted and maintained by the Facebook community. What does this mean exactly? It's Facebook's own way of gaining access to and ownership of your content in the event that it becomes very popular (and hence profitable).....
