    Hey there,
    I was just thinking about it and thought maybe I should put this forth and ask a community.
    So, you have spent years and years over the internet, visiting websites, posting threads - posts, and participating in various discussions. Lets face it, we all ( or most people) must have something buried that might be embarrassing if someone brought it out in the real world. So my question is if you were to get famous someday, would you pay someone (and by that i mean some hacker or hacking group) to delete your online existence, all of it and wipe you completely out from the face of internet? Just something to think about.
    Lets Debate - hut hut hut!
    Regards

    I don't think I'll ever become famous. :)

    Ask the question, when I will get famous.

    Because, that will be the time when you will get the exact answer:)

    Hmm... I think most of the people would like to be famous. It is because famous = money. You have your reputation, you got your money. XD

    I guess I would still need to stay in touch with my friends in family even if I'm famous and the Internet helps a lot.

    Even if I become famous, no one here or other places where I work would know about me.
    Only people on Facebook could know it. And there I got only friends no workers or staff. So, there won't be any problem of deleting data from here... :D

    Only those who enjoy the facelessness of online forums so they can troll and be a dick would worry too much.

    I'd probably pay someone to remove very very old things from old social networking sites meaning pictures and whatnot. Everything recent and on facebook is alright to be fair.

    I mistakenly selected the option 'may be'.
    Actually I would not pay someone, or wipe it out by myself, because that's not such an important thing to do. I would have much important things to care about instead of wasting time on this, If i was to be such famous.

    Agreed, but you know you have to make press statements and if some journalist dig something out and make it public. You'll just ignore them? Am not saying you have something that bad on your record but assume if you did, then?
