still down! @ Mon 01:27 BST - the ongoing invesigation (that go on till xmas just ask anyone who gets themselves dealing with the appeals department http://getsatisfaction.com/facebook/topics/13_reasons_your_facebook_account_will_be_disabled. also the 13 reasons can be taken seriously i found it after a developer made a fuss about losing his facebook account).

anyways, i sure facebook is counting down the days to advanced wall, superwall and funwall etc gets the top friends treatment as they not want it on there platform

**these Wall applications will be driven off the platform
1. consigned to the boxes tab (likely the bottom of it)
2. go out of business (if not FB might use the Top Friend removal approach)**

“We have suspended the application while we investigate violations of our Terms of Service. We recognize this is a popular application and don’t take this action lightly.”

aka it is a competitor of ours therefore we should destroy it

just take friendfeed and the plagiarizing facebook does (Steal there ideas)

violation of ToS - a so called privacy issue created by a *power crazy platform staff (for decisions)* that *wispers ‘competition taken care off :O’*

Slide has been violating their TOS for a long time and Facebook always held their hand through it. Wonder what made the difference this time? Press?

Uh, I noticed the Funwall application was mentioned at the beginning of this blog post. Although there is no other mention of it being suspended throughout the rest of the post. Does this mean that just the Top-Friends application was suspended for violating Facebook security measures?
