I really hate this application ! Why?! Because they use my facebook account details (my picture, and other details) for their website, i really tried to remove this application in facebook! First it worked! But after a while it came automatically back again on my facebook account, and my profile was in the internet again! Why are they doing such a crap????? i don't want to be a memeber of humanpets.com! i also contacted them, removing it but they didn`t reacted!!!! :-(

Good for Facebook in dealing promptly with pornographic content. I'm wondering if there are any plans to deal with the nudity and obscenity on Bumper Stickers?

Reading your article on Human Pets, one cannot help but wonder how much information is actually reaching you guys.

So you may see what I mean, look at this topic, being discussed right now over at the Developers´ Forum:

This isn't Porn Part III - The Insolence of Funwall
http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic....

Granted, a LOT of critical issues are being brought up there. Sooner or later, they WILL need to be addressed, even more so, taking into account the Agreement signed by FB with the Attorneys General.

The porn type photos were a minor part of the app... and most of the members would not miss them...
those who over-reacted to the restraint that was exercised spoiled a good thing for everyone...
and isn't that the way of the world...

Can there not be some compromise reached? bring back HP and maintain a minor calm???

It was the reason for going to facebook..
and frankly some of the other apps are more just as bad but less honest

Finally! I've been looking all over for a reason to the disappearance of an application that I have checked daily. I can't figure out why this application did not just stand on it's own as a website all by itself; Then it really doesn't matter if there are nude pictures or not. Besides, isn't there an issue with the fact that Patrick was making money off of this application, via the "Membership" and whatnot??

All our private mail: gone. That is what annoys me the most. FB should have given at least a 24 hour warning notice to HP users that they were pulling the application. A lot of users would then have had a chance to save text and contact information.

Shutting down HP under the 'oh but we want to protect the kiddies' banner is complete b.s and an evil, down right frightening sign of what is to come if this invasion and control of our privacy is accepted. There'll be no stopping them. What next: banned based on your religious views or sexual preference? I'm using fb right now only to try to find people I'd promised to send postcards to for giving me HP points via auctions and to keep up with HP news. I support a fully independant HP site and then I will definitely leave fb on principle. These cyber mommies and daddies of ours at fb have our names, dobs, addresses, phone numbers... We give them everything, and they take away our freedom of choice and ground us. If enough 'adults' walk from fb, advertisers might take notice too as the 12 year old white middle class Christian kiddies fb seem so suddenly to want to target as their main audience can't use a credit card. And we all know the only thing that will hurt them is a slimmer wallet.

How many of you actually got harassed by random HP users? How many of you actually received unsolicited pornographic spam messages or comments? It's no good blaming HP users who ignored the adult content rules: the internet is full of porn and sites that people either as individuals or groups find objectionable. You just don't go to those sites. You think the internet would be completely shut down if enough people beaten senseless by alcoholics complained about 'How To Make Cocktails' sites? I absolutely loathe and detest animal cruelty, but don't see a hope in hell of having sites advocating such things being pulled, and nor would I want to. I'd rather people I don't agree with still have the right to say whatever they want, as long as I can to, and without being subjected to such things by force. FB does not feel the same way and again, I think what they are doing is very, VERY dangerous.

Why would they shut down this app and let the most porn-filled applications get away with it? Fun Wall and Super Wall are the main vectors for porn on FB...Why not them?

As an an avid Human Pets user I was shocked to find my favorite application gone.. poof.. while I agree that the pornopgraphic content was not appropriate for an application open to all ages, I hope that Patrick and the Facebook team can work out a compromise as I, and many other people, love our daily interactions with other friends on Human Pets and want it back as soon as possible.

Hi i would like to make a formal complain to Facebook for the sudden disconnection of the human pets application.

patrick is only one man and i think he has done everything to comply with your sites terms and conditions but unfortunately he was not able to get it all in time

i can say applications such as private photo gallary and a few select other also have not so favorable images and have not been removed

This is outrageous and it seems the application was targeted

If you truely want to better your service you should thing of the users more.

at least give a warning to the people using it

a formal warning from facebook to remove items would have been a more reasonable telling the users not patrick to remove the items

because with over 50 000 active users its not possible to keep up and delete everything in 1 day

Regards
Marc Mendes

oh yeh and PS! check out OWNED!
they have worse pictures in there... and it is not set to adult, so ANYONE can view it!

Re: Facebook Shuts Down Human Pets

Jennifer May Tapping — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:10:39 -0000

I understand why you are saying about this, pornographic images on a PG rated site isn't a good thing, we all discussed this ourselves... and thats why the become a 'member' option was available... so that only members could see them, being you had to have a paypal account to buy a membership, you have to be over 18 to view them! so whats the problem?
all there needs to be is a filter so that youngtsers cant lie about there age, and anyone under 18 cant view adult content....
Sorted!>??

Now lots of us 'members have paid money to a member, and it is going to waste... we only paid to be members so we can keep the adult content in the shops,

... explaination please...

I am so so so sorry this all happened. No one warned us. How could we kno that FB doesnt like "adult only" items? I dont know what to do now cause I might have lost some friends thanks to this. :-(
And it is not the same to write on the walls and to meet in Express and chat all together.

Please bring back Human Pets. It was a fun application and was great for communicating with people from around the world.

I think that the members who were in the wrong should have been banned, then this whole thing would not have turned out this way.

I for one miss it already and I only heard about it today!

This has been a joy for many people, many of these people could not have had this kind of social life elsewhere and they actually really NEEDED it.

pity pity pity

If it gets restored, I hope we can keep our current profile points, shops, etc.

Later

First i would like to say that i think this is ridiculous. Im not even an HP user anymore, but its ridiculous.
Two things... 1. Ive seen many pornographic pictures slip onto facebook, are you going to shut yourself down???
2. In regards to the statement about the 'adults only' pics (deemed unacceptable by facebook), why is there a specific app designed for posting your 'adult pics' in an album that requires a password set by the owner??? why is that acceptable??
Seems to me, facebook is jealous of Patricks success.

I'd like to know what Patrick Shyu is planning to do in terms of REIMBURSING those of us that invested in his MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM (like I did) in his Human Pets application.

I had no idea that the Adult Content issue was actually an issue since there was a clearly identified "Red Light District" section which presumes that the "Adults Only" content label was being enforced - but in any event that honor system SHOULD BE tied to the shop owner uploading/adding an item to the Market.

Either way, the membership fee was tied to a duration - and if this duration is not going to be honored due to a policy violation issue between Facebook Big Brother and the Developer - then Patrick Shyu either needs to comply and return the Human Pets application to Facebook OR reimburse those of us that paid for the membership program in a pro-rated manner based on the difference between our membership expiration date and the date when the Human Pets application was removed from Facebook (05/08/08).

OMG! I'm so glad you posted this, because I really didn't know what was happening. This is outrageous. I hope HP comes back quickly....

The very best aplication on Facebook and the main reason i log on to this site,
Was removed without any warning to the shock of i guess what must be over 50,000 active daily members.
At the very least facebook could have spared a thought for this subcomunity and given us all notice that the aplication was to be removed,
thus allowing us to add all our human pets friends to facebook friends lists.
On a more personal note..
I loved Humanpets and spent months building up points i had a little shop and took hours carefully crafting * NON ADULT* gifts i made good friends on there and am glad that i was a part of it.
If HUMANPETS was to set up outside of facebook i would join and start again like a shot it really was more than just a facebook aplication anyway.
BRING BACK HUMAN PETS.
BRING BACK HUMAN PETS.
we are behind you Patrick

you people should take a look at the internet some day
soon
there is more porn than anyone could see in their lifetime
you really need to grasp reality and and return human pets to the fb apps
it was the one app that made fb useful and fun
the rest of your apps are infantile and poorly written
having little or no interaction
thank you norman stone
