Do anyone know how to get incontact with Facebook? Or facebook support departments?? all i tried to do one day was report a small bug problem I was having. I so happens to click the wrong problenm option and as a result, my account is now disabled. I cannot regain access. Now I'm starting all over again after years of building such a huge network of online business, fanpage, and network business partners. HERE... WE...GO!!! The thought of having to start all over again with face book just devestates me. I searched and researched and see a boatload of complaints from tons of people saying support never get's back to them or customer service etc.. Now I thinking I'll never hear back from them too?!?! I'm just hurt. I honestly don't think there is a support or customer service within because FB is free. If it cost us out-of-pocket to pay them, then they'll have a support & customer service to stay on top of it. All my info is gone! No more family, friends, connects and contacts, my pictures of my family and friends all done! Years of memories just gone. I'm hurt. Bad. If anyone know how I can contact fb please let me know. I need my account back desperatly. Urgently. My business and network of team depends on me. I have to much to lose here.

	Samuel on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 11:22 AM Hi Janelle, To my knowledge Facebook keeps a lot if not all the information that is stored on peoples accounts. Do you know what the unique URL was for your Facebook page? Facebook also has a help forum which you may be able to find the answer to your questions here: http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=174. Have you tried numerous or various login's that you may have had or was it just for the one email address. They provide this statement for people looking to re-activate their account: http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=14429 You may struggle to get someone on the phone to help you, as I don't think they have a customer support. I suggest trying some of the tips in the help section, then if not, reach out to us again and I will see what I can find out. Thanks, Samuel

Hi!! Does VP only offers wesbsites for sale? I want a blog, I know blogs are built-in with the sites if I decided to buy a site. So I wanted to know does VP just sell websites alone? (no websites).
