It doesn't bounce, but they've never answered either. I've sent an email twice asking them to make the username available for all business pages (without profile). Maybe if enough people ask, they will consider the change. I have never actually found a support email address either, but have sent several requests to info@facebook.com.

It is annoying not being able to get to the apps, but I, too, do not want to tie the page I created for my employer to my personal account. Did facebook miss the boat on this one? I still haven't figured out how to contact them for "support." Thanks again! Sheri Jean, THANK YOU – I thought I was missing something.

It's pretty limited without a profile. You cannot use any of the apps. You also cannot get the shorter username when you hit 100 fans unless you have a profile. The above mentioned is the negative side of not having a profile. The positive side of not having it tied to a profile is that it can still stay in tack if an employee leaves the company. Then it can be the company page instead of the person the profile belongs to. It is also more professional. Hope this is helpful for you. Sheri,

Do you know how I can get help from facebook on this? Their help pages are difficult to filter. Thanks in advance!

Just found the resolve for this after 3 days of searching. I had selected over 18 & when I changed that, then it allowed it to be public. Opps!
