    Default MySpace = Shitty

    Everytime I go on MySpace, it totally hogs up all of my computer memory, causing freezes and crashes. Its utterly unenjoyable. I understand the scalability issue, I used to design and write code in ColdFusion. If you don't start with a solid backbone, you won't be able to handle all the increasing data.

    But considering the site is so popular, it just sucks so much ass! Plus, I'm not really that comfortable in a community with so many 14 year olds. I know kids are everywhere, even on this site, but at least they are not encouraged here. Its pretty gross when I get a 15- year old boy telling me to come sit on his phat dick..

    On the plus side, a lot of my old friends from Htown have re-connected with me through MySpace.

    I have seen very, very few MySpace pages--but overall the whole thing, or at least the way I see and hear about it being used, strikes me as being very high schoolish.

    Never had much desire to get a page of my own, or look at others' pages, either, because of this.

    I suppose I have seen a couple that weren't so bad, but still the idea leaves me cold.

    most of my homeys have myspace pages and constantly give me lip about gettiing one so i caved in and just got one last week... now i'm super cool and they'll talk to me again...lol

    People say they're 14 years old on that site so it makes their profile only viewable to the people on their friend's list.

    ^^^ OTB is correct. There are quite of illegitmate 14 year olds as it is a way for people to 'hide' their profile. Of course, MySpace TOS forbids this and the people who do it are playing with fire (they will get their profile deleted).

    What pieces me off the most about MySpace is how damn graphic and/or video heavy some profile pages are!! They are the ones that are causing me grief. Also the people who have to post big huge images in the comment section of some profiles! grrr!

    There is a reason why I keep both my profiles minimal and viewable (in my opinion). The graphics are 'light' (by myspace standards), I have disallowed HTM comments (I've seen how allowing html comments can wreck some pretty nice looking profiles) and with my blog profile ( www.goldcoastgirl.com ) I have even hidden my friends list (as it is about my blog not my friends list).

    So that is my only rant about myspace: graphic and video heavy pages plus people posting HUGE (either width and/or height) images in the comment section of some pages..

    What would be considered "too heavy" a page? I do usually have a single video or song on my page, but otherwise plain background, no slideshows, nothing animated, and the only pics are on the dedicated page.

    I have to admit I do like MySpace for the communicating-with-friends aspect of it. I agree about the general highschoolishness of it, and find it irritating that many users do load their pages with tons of excessive flourishes (a song/graphic or two is no big deal), but if you're headed out to the local karaoke night and want to give your gang the heads-up, it's great. I have a strict policy of only including people I actually, literally, for-real, KNOW (never understood the ambition to boast 6,000 "friends").

    It's nice to share pics through MySpace, too. And even though I don't use it for professional purposes, I know some who find it very effective. MySpace: Use it for good, not evil!

    Die damned MySpace Die!!!

    But seriously, some of the pages on that site makes Geocities home pages and those old 20MB signatures on WebTV look downright bearable.

    I mean do these little booger eaters on MySpace realize that when they put dark blue text on a black background, say that they're into Yugioh, and have an MP3 of "You're Beautiful" on their homepage, thats like flashing a "fuck me" sign to all the sexual predators.

    I'm confused about that one. She had two ages listed. She doesn't look 14, so I'd go with the 24.

    I like it as I have many family members and old friends that I communicate with , plus a few hot women . Its fun to me I just skip out of those huge load pages - they suck . As for 14yr olds they are out there and you must avoid them if not family or friends of family . I dont think the males have as much problem with the 14 somethings like the women do - guys can be such assholes , and they start off at such a young age lol ...

    Eh...I use MySpace to keep up with old high school friends that I'd probably rather not see in person. It gives me a chance to say hello and find out what's been going on, but I don't have to put up with them being annoying (as some of them were and probably still are).

    I do agree that some people take it too far with the videos, slideshows, pictures, and everything else.

    ur right...totally useful for contacts, old buds that you don't want to lose touch with...
    but the whole "be my friend" concept is a little whack to me... its like, collecting baseball cards or garbage pail kids... see who can get the most....
    and since i've been on myspace (about 1 week) i cant believe how explicit most chicks' pix are...

    I used to be a friend whore....but then I got over it. I didn't even really know 75% of the people who were my "friends". So I deleted everyone but who I actually KNEW and/or talked to frequently online. I wanted it to be about my real friends, not strangers.

    Both of my profiles will be going the route that if your BB (bulletin board) posts are 80% or more about whoring out your profile.. I will ban you off my friends list. I will add anyone who wants to be my friend ( www.goldcoastgirl.com ) however if I find that 80% or more of your bulletin board posts is either "whore me" or "whore this other person" or "comment me/my pics" then I will delete you off my friends list by banning you.

    The BB shouldn't be spammed with "whore-ing" type of posts plus it makes it bothersome to read decent posts from myspace friends.

    Whore yourself (your myspace profile) once every 10 days (the period a BB post lasts) not every damn day !!!

    I like myspace. My profie is set to private, so only people who are on my friends list can see my page and send me messages. I have a few friends that live in other states, so it's a great way to keep in touch. I think I only have like 8 friends on there. I set my profile to private when I started to get guys asking me out, and I had a girl ask me if I had a brother between the ages of 21/25.

    i got a myspace, then after about 5 minutes was like "um... now what?"

    i check my messages once every month or so, and i usually have a lot of messages from 16-19 year olds with bad hair and too many facial piercings saying things like "hay gurl ur rly sexy wanna chat sumtime my msn is [email protected] and on aim im punkhxcboi69 well peace out babe xxx"

    and i think that about 90% of the profile pages i have seen on there make my eyes bleed. animated gifs should not be used as background images.

    Whilst inconvienant, it is called the delete button. Unless you want your profile deleted, I would NOT advocate setting your profile to private!

    WARNING: "Private" Profiles
    Read --> http://www.mygen.co.uk/phpBB2/viewto...sc&highlight=&


    Darcy, just do as I have done ( here ) ... if you don't want to be too active with your MySpace profile yet still would like to use as a way to promote yourself (and encourage website traffic)... just set your profile up to direct people to your page by placing a link in your about me section. Then just set up and activate your AWAY message permanently (say something along the lines of "I'm soo busy having fun over at www.darcyfoxx.com - I would love it if you signed my guestbook over there! Have a great day :-) Lots of love, Darcy" or something to that effect This way you won't receive any myspace mail, all you'll have to concern yourself with is any blog subscriptions and/or friend requests.... and if you want to share any photos in your gallery.

    BTW, feel free to send me a friend request as I would love to have you in my goldcoastgirl.info (Vanessa Stacy) Top 8.

    Setting your profile to "private" means you're telling people you're underage.Anytime someone makes a friends request with one of those,I never accept it.You never know how old they really are and we live in the age of lawsuits and accusations nowadays.I don't need that headache.

    I wasn't much of a MySpace fan until sometime last Fall when a Hooters waitress I know gave me her profile address. Then I started to click on her friend's profiles and their friends and their friends...you can certainly get lost on that site for hours on end. Ahem...especially when you start getting into porn star profiles and some of the "Ladies Only" profiles where they ask that only "hot" women can request to be a Friend...that sort of thing.

    My own personal profile, while not private, is extremely anonymous. There is no way that anyone would know it was me unless I told them. I think right now there are only a small handful of people who know who I am on there. I also don't maintain a "Friends" list. I actually keep the list of people I want to contact in my "Favorites" list which pretty much only I can access.

    My brother's profile frequently freezes up my browser...I can't figure out why since his is pretty basic...I've haven't had any other problems with other more "dynamic" profiles.

    Oh, so that's how it's done. I was wondering why some profiles which are marked "Private" show people as being only 14 years old especially when those people certainly don't look that young.

    Does that work? Im looking for new ways to score with anonymous chicks. Quoting Voltaire and reciting John Keats isnt cutting it anymore.
