Myspace, good or evil?

[Xxypher]

Yes i know its a good place to meat friends and you might run into someone who claims they emt their lover on myspace... but its not as good as it all sounds, rapists, melesters, and pediphiles are on their too, adn with all the "slutty" girls on their its just nasty... i think people need ot clean up their act on myspace and get a life...
yes i have a myspace but its JUST for friends and thats it...:confused:

[semiavrage]

"meat."

hehehehe.

[Coolguy]

It is good, its your own fault for not making your profile "private" and accepting random strangers as friends.

[The Jerusalem Man]

i think that myspace is a black hole that forces you to keep opening up multiple tabs and digging deeper and deeper into.

so i banned myself from even going to the site at work cause it gets highly addictive to keep clicking on other peoples friends and just explore all the profiles.

as far as if its good or evil i think its neither it is the people whom use it that are good or evil.

gunz dont kill people.
people with gunz kill people

[Orbixx]

"meat."

hehehehe.

LOL, exactly what I thought.

(Evil, btw)

[SPASTICHOBO]

meh, myspace is evil in the sense that it's poorly programmed, terribly slow, and easily exploitable (scripts anyone?). Not to mention the fact that the ToS clearly states that any content placed on their site is owned by News. Corp. (aka Fox).

Facebook ftw

[Lame Face]

Who cares? As long as you're [Edit: I just realized how that was related.] not stupid enough to give out your personal information, you're fine. I have a Myspace, and I am still yet to be raped at this time.

[cobweb]

yeah lame, but you've yet to grow breasts and chop your cock off.

[BuFFMb]

tranny

[Slevin57]

I prefer facebook, but it is kind of errie how you can look at an otherwise intrict social network of friends. If I was the government, i'd have my own personal copy of my space and facebook :P. I mean they spend years trying to infer the social connections that millions of people will gladly throw up in an hour.

[System_Zero]

I only use Myspace to keep in touch with people I know. If I don't know them, they're can fuck off. Hell I've only been on Myspace once this month.

[DemonSpawn77]

It's way too addictive. It's good yet evil at the same time. I find myself logging in several times a day to check my friend requests, comments, etc... and I can't help myself.:(

[IanAlmighty]

Well, I would answer the Thesis question here, but it seems as if you have used some odd terminology.
Good and Evil don't exist, so I cannot answer the question.

[Napalm]

Well, I would reply to your hypothesis of the hypotnuse of the transgenderual triangle, but it seems as if i've used some harmful terminology.
Good and evil don't exist, so I can't seem to point out more obviously that the volume of your brain far exceeds any other pile of excrement that has graced my toilet.

[Inactive Cargo]

MySpace is gay.

[Napalm]

urmom faggot face

[BhueGo]

of course its good the only people who get butt raped are the ones stupid enough to talk to random strangers bc there profile says Im a hot sexy lesbian homo so screw me! its people like that who screw it up for everybody

[Xlink]

myspace is dope. its fun and addicting. they have a lot of stuff to intertain you. like videos, comedies, reviews, poems, books, jobs, friends, etc.
myspace could be bad in some cases. like when u add a person u dont know or if its not private.
other than that and if ur smart is good

[BuFFMb]

i guess its good in the sence it teaches kids how to use html code

[cobweb]

i guess its good in the sence it teaches kids how to use html code

xanga was much better at that.
also taught how to use photoshop/etc.

[one]

tom = evil.

[Kinetix]

Good.

If you get raped because you talked to someone on myspace please finish the job and kill yourself. Thanks.

[one]

OMG

tom = evil

^ read reverse

[crooked]

live = mot ?

[Erosennin]

EMO OMG t{om}={e}vil reverse it = e=mo then you take the equals and get emo LOOK AT THE BOLD NESS. No offense but anyhow myspace IS evil if you don't use it correctly and so is 1337.com and it can be good like 1337.com but if you are an asshole *COUGH*Spitfire*COUGH* 1337.com becomes evil to you but if you are cool like napalm 1337.com is good.

As my opinion myspace is good i haven't done anything or had anything evil happen to me.

[IanAlmighty]

I *heart* emos.

[MaudKip]

I read some where that myspace is actually 70% (not exact I cant remember the percentage) people 35 years of age and older. Besides that I feel you have to be a complete moron to get raped by someone on Myspace. You NEVER hook up with someone from the internet, thats just common sense. So I feel that Myspace is NOT evil.

[doug]

I agree with cobweb. I loved my Xanga. I got rid of my MySpace recently and I am starting to slowly not use Facebook anymore. I guess it's half the reason I'm here.

[Buchanan1790]

MySpace=Evil (even though i have it lmfao)
I believe that myspace is evil because our parents are all telling us that drugs are bad. MySpace is a drug, the more friends you have, the more messages you get, the more friends you have, the more bulletins you read and post. The more bulletins that you read and post=more time spent on myspace. Myspace is a drug, you try it once and you are hooked...add me www.myspace.com/buchanan1790
lmfao

[Tangent]

Ah, I despise MySpace. Many reasons for soing so, but everyone on my side of this will probably share those reasons. I'll tell you anyway.
1) Yup. So much, and yet so little. (http://palebluedot.ytmnd.com/)
2) Most MySpace users are attention whores. I can say whore here, right?
3) It lacks sexiness beacause I'm not there.

[mwknowles92]

Myspace is good.
It helps me to contact my friends so that i don't have to write letters and in case the minutes on my phone expire.
It's also useful for school, you can contact teachers thru it, and post bulletins asking what the homework was.
The news just makes a huge deal out of every idiot that gets themselves raped. Sorry if I sound cruel, but really now? have some common sense.
Anybody that has an absurd amount of friends and/or acts like an idiot on myspace gets flamed half the time.

[Kinetix]

If you all don't stop pooling collective stupid in this topic I'm gonna have to slide a few jaws.


*is a tough guy*

[Mooters]

Well, dpends. It can be bad and good at the same time.
Right now, i'm keeping in touch with an old friend.
And probadly gonna visit during the summer.

[TheDarkNight]

I have a Myspace, but I only made one because it's a great way for you to meet talk to girls. If I see a girl at school, but I'm too afraid to say something to her in real life, I can message her over Myspace.

[Buchanan1790]

lmfao, if you see a girl and are too AFRAID to talk to her at school, go find hitch lmao...or find her a plastic surgeon..

but seriously, yes, i can see how it is good and bad, and i know where you are coming from, its just like msn or any other instant messenger thing...thinks are just easier and you talk to people you wouldnt normally. I just dontknow why they make a message site if thats all its good for? seriously, by a raise of these":wall: " how many people actually go "page surfing" like go to a page and see if you are on the top yet, or if the page has changed?

MySpace music-
who stays at a page long enough to listen to a song on a page let alone watch a video!?!

[mwknowles92]

no to both

[cobweb]

lmfao, if you see a girl and are too AFRAID to talk to her at school, go find hitch lmao...or find her a plastic surgeon..


ohman. +rep.
can i give a nublet +rep?

[Napalm]

i take rep for n00bs ^_^

[cobweb]

i give rep for cute things also...
so if you want some too, get on it <3

[Napalm]

i thought i was being cute just by following you around on 1337.com and posting after you

[cobweb]

yeahyeah fine :P
i thought you were cute just by doing nothing special, but shhhhh that wasn't supposed to be said..

[Napalm]

ah right.
well i can still make lame sing outside your window.


I feel MySpace is the tool of the devil because it's irritating in so many ways. But, I do use it. >_> Rarely though. And well, ..I mainly use it to do funny things like pretend to stalk people and such, so.



Yes. MySpace is bad. I am a bad MySpace user.

link or its a lie

[Steve]

Yes. MySpace is bad. I am a bad MySpace user.

[Shins]

Someone from my class in fifth grade tracked me down on MySpace the other day.

It was weird as hell, but also kind of cool. When I last saw him, he was a perfect redneck-in-training. Now, he's a Neo-Pagan hippie.

So yeah, he went the other way on that one a little.

[Steve]

I had it but it's gone now. Apparently her parents were getting the police involved and the person who asked me to do it told me to take it down because she was questioning them.

I have a link somewhere to a site where there's logs of what happened. It's not as funny as it was at the time.. but I could find it. The MySpace is boring now.

[Napalm]

[Steve]

http://millercanblowme.blogspot.com/

It's the last one. Actually.. the person who er, watched me do this is on this forum..

[Napalm]

i....love you.

[Steve]

D:

thnx man.

[Napalm]

you remind me of me...and what i would have done in that given scenario

[Kinetix]

I got my gold farmers from myspace.

[Steve]

I got my gold farmers from myspace.


Pardon my ignorance, but gold farmers?


And I'm not sure how to take that.. compliment?

[Napalm]

World of Warcraft

[Steve]

..that would explain why I didn't get the reference.

I forgot that people farmed for gold and did weird things like that on there. I've never played it, sooo...

Well that's a lie, I'll deviate with a funny story. Well, it amuses me anyway. One day, a friend left their WoW game on and me alone with it. So I went on and found the first *pervert* I could and started making suggestions to him.

Then basically he followed me friend for ages asking if he liked "cake" or "pie" and.. stalked him in the game. I laughed. >_> At one point the person wasn't taking the advances well and said something along the lines of, "You're a priestess, won't you get in trouble with the guild?" Seriously, no offense, but this guy was thinking LITERAL trouble. Well, he gave in anyway. Hah. People take those games far too seriously..

[Napalm]

OK.
Try to guess what's raging in my pants right now. You are awesome. Have my babies.

[Steve]

OK.
Try to guess what's raging in my pants right now. You are awesome. Have my babies.

Tiddlywinks?

How about you have my babies.. that seems more appealing to me.

[Napalm]

Deal.

[Shins]

Get a room with a camera in the room that I can watch and jack off to wow this phrase does seem to be going on longer than usual do you like oranges?

[Steve]

Wow, okay how about maybe it could have but no apples are great except for oranges have much C!

[Fantasy]

My god, person who wrote this thread needs TO absolutely learn how to spell! I didn't even understand half of the things he was talking about. :doh: :bad:

[Adnihilo]

oh, fuck.

seriously, does myspace have to seep into everything?

yeah, it's evil (coming from someone with two myspace addresses in his sig).

i do believe that myspace can be useful...

but it is far too time-consuming for those who have no time management skills.

myspace is good for--

1.bands
2.jobs
3.movie directors
4.comedians
5. etc...

but, then again..
if there were no regular myspacers, there'd be little point to having one at all.
so it all works out in the end.

[Tingebing]

Myspace = Evil, cuz it's hard to edit your profile to your wishes, its evil cuz its universal, its good because you meet people its bad cuz i dont meet any...

[TripsEX]

MySpace? Good. It keeps people together and allows you to have your own little "piece" of the internet so to speak. When you say MySpace, everyone knows what you're talking about, and people can do shit on their pages for free. I think it's a good thing, even though it's loaded with a metric fuck-ton of ads.

[Orbixx]

Anything that is used worldwide seems to be fucking evil.

eBay
Paypal
MySpace
Google
Microsoft
McDonalds

[TripsEX]

FUCK AIR AND PAPER. I'M SO SICK OF FUCKING PAPER AND AIR.

Seriously, are you trying to make that arguement? It works out great for some people, and bad for others. Doesn't mean it's evil, just not your fit.

Everything has pros and cons.

[The Badger's Sister]

ohh...

Cons

- Spawns hundreds of retarded threads like these.

[MasterGlitch]

Cons

-It's fucking MYSPACE! What more needs to be said?

Way to bomb an already shitty thread with an even shittier joke.

Who was telling jokes?

But seriously, MySpace just sucks away everyone's time, lets them give away all their information to stalkers and child molesters, gives them multiple types of malware, provides viruses for people, and might even lead to genital herpes. The cons far outweigh the pros.
Though hopefully MySpace is just a fad that will quickly fade away, because it's degenerating the youth of America.

[Orbixx]

MySpace just sucks away everyone's time

You are proving just that and so am I. Now let's shut the fuck up and get this thread locked.

[MasterGlitch]

Now let's shut the fuck up and get this thread locked.

Agreed.
It's good to have you back, Orbixx.

I don't consider someone who can make a profile look like a logon screen and link the data to send it to a php processing script the fgt probably got off a skiddie website a "hacker".

Also, might as well incriminate WoW. I used to spend upwards of 14 hours a day playing it. That's not me only, that's about 6.5 million of the 8 million currently registered.

myspace is something you get into when your 14, and never grow out of. some people do meet some genuin friends on there, or penpals or wehat ever shit. i met my friend laura on there (she registered on here at one point, you all insulted her eye brows)

iv met some other ok people on there, but yeah, over all, myspace is for 14 year olds who think they have something worthwhile to say

I say MySpace is alright, but not because of the people on it - It's a good source for rare MP3s that you can't find on Limewire\Other P2P programs. I've found a few goodies on myspace pages occasionally.

I bet Microsoft must be paying shitloads to advertise its products on a Linux\OSTG-owned website.... hehehe

Agreed. Although, as soon as the new ATi cards (R600 and whatnot) and the new AMD chips come out, I think I'll have to like them more, purely because they'll be cheaper :). Yes, I am a stingy bastard.

Its not the site, its the human Variable...

Not sure what to think of this website that take's hours and hours of teenage life away...

anyone who gets themselves raped or something on myspace is stupid. its you job. its your fault you gave out where you lived. you clicked the add to friends button. just imo

[fredmeepbob]

myspace is tight

i used to think it was gay but now i like it cuz all my friends got profs :)
just nice to chat it up w/ teh homeslices u kno

[Neg]

I have a myspace account. I rarely use it, but when I do it's just to talk to friends that I don't care for enough to call or visit.

[MasterGlitch]

I have a myspace account. I rarely use it, but when I do it's just to talk to friends that I don't care for enough to call or visit.

That's another thing about Myspace. It essentially does what other good, respectable things have already been doing for years.
Need to chat with someone? Don't want to call them? Use IM!
Wanna get your ideas out onto the internet, but don't know how? Start a blog!
Want a personal space designed by you and for you that other people can see? Make a website!

And each of those things performs their given functions better than Myspace ever could. An IM client gives you a list of people who you can instantly talk to in real time. None of that PM crap to deal with. A blog is... um... well... it's just plain cool, alright? And a website offers infinitely more options for what you can do. It's near limitless. As opposed to Myspace's template crap.

Oh, and I forgot the "meeting people" thing. If you want to meet people, visit a forum, go on IRC, or just plain leave your house once in a while. They all work better than Myspace, really.

I guess that's just my opinion or whatever, but it seems to me that all Myspace does is conglomerate features from other things(IM, blog, personal website, etc) and puts them together in a very idiot-friendly fashion. Why is that so special???

[Floodclaw]

MySpace is evil, people use it to steal identies and rape unsuspecting victims. Nuff said.

Other than that, its a great way to keep track of friends!

[KMFD]

Facebook is so much better.

No gay wallpapers people put up. Just post your info, upload photos, join groups, and talk to people.

[Luke]

myspace is good for advertising and mabye for friends ...but i would rather IM .... but like if you have 1k friends and you want to advertise on a bulletin it is good :)

I think that it makes people feel a sense of being known, when they recieve a
Message. You log in and see that you have new comments or messages, you feel
special. I dont feel this way but I think other people do. And for myspaces template, that can be changed, but what you wrote truly does out-weigh myspace.

[KMFD]

Myspace does not do enough to protect it's users.

For facebook, if your not in a person's network, then you can't view their profile.

[Lab0mba]

One problem with it is how widespread phishing is on the site. I'm not stupid enough to let my account get phished though, I mean, some of the ploys they are extremely flawed. I could post links to them, but I think that would be against the 1337.com TOS.

[KMFD]

MySpace is evil, people use it to steal identies and rape unsuspecting victims. Nuff said.

Other than that, its a great way to keep track of friends!

Myspace was too confusing to me. Facebook seemed much easier to operate and I quickly adapted to it.

[Avarik]

Myspace does not do enough to protect it's users.

For facebook, if your not in a person's network, then you can't view their profile.

Um, you have the option to set your profile to private on MySpace...

Alas, you are stupid and can't be expected to know these things.

[KMFD]

Most people don't because they are too stupid to check if it is already set. Facebook I know automatically sets it so that only people on your network(s) can view your profile.
Some people I know told me theirs wasn't set to that on myspace.

[Confero]

Myspace - gay or straight?

[KMFD]

Probably..... gay..... but that's just an opinion.

[Kinetix]

If Tom was given a paper bag, a wet paper bag, he would not be able to code himself out of it. There are so many flaws in myspace it's not even funny. I could list 50 of them if it wasn't for that gay liable issue.

XSS exploits are easy to use on that site, embedded code, etc. It's not even funny how stupid the general populous is.

[MaudKip]

Myspace - gay or straight?

How can a webpage have a sexual orientation? Even porn sites are nuetral.

BTW. Thats the cutest avatar ever!!! ^_^

[Lemmer]

Yes i know its a good place to meat friends and you might run into someone who claims they emt their lover on myspace... but its not as good as it all sounds, rapists, melesters, and pediphiles are on their too, adn with all the "slutty" girls on their its just nasty... i think people need ot clean up their act on myspace and get a life...
yes i have a myspace but its JUST for friends and thats it...:confused:
"Meat" friends?

Anyways, myspace is the draining of the scrap of dignity that teenagers still have left.

[coprolal1an]

Even porn sites are nuetral.

Gay porn == heterosexual?

EDIT: Sorry, didnt see date of post

[MasterGlitch]

Gay porn == heterosexual?

No, that's not what he was saying.

Gay Porn = Gay

Straight Porn = Straight

Gay Porn SITE = Neither Gay Nor Straight

Straight Porn SITE = Neither Also


(Capitalized words are fun! :P)

[coprolal1an]

What if the page said that it was gay via metatags?



<meta name='description' content='This site is gay, lol' />
<meta name='sexual-orientation' content='homosexual' />

[MasterGlitch]

What if the page said that it was gay via metatags?



<meta name='description' content='This site is gay, lol' />
<meta name='sexual-orientation' content='homosexual' />


It means nothing until I see an actual physical manifestation of the website as a man who is fucking another man. Short of that, there is no true proof.
Websites have neutral sexuality.

[Opzr1ke]

Ahhh you bashing myspace with poor grammer if, is
funny heh writers block?:wall:

[tsirhcsusej]

I guess that's just my opinion or whatever, but it seems to me that all Myspace does is conglomerate features from other things(IM, blog, personal website, etc) and puts them together in a very idiot-friendly fashion. Why is that so special???

its said idiots who like it mostly

[htmldesigner]

I think myspace evil and is only useful for keeping in contact with friends but you can use a messenger service or phone for that. Besides the government watches it very carefully to make sure nobody it threating "el Presedente' god forbid a 14 yr old make a snide remark towards Bush

[the.doctor]

I submit that the govt. doesnt give a shit about what happens on myspace

to prove this, I have added to my profile: "George W. Bush is a criminal and I hate him."

http://myspace.com/th3dougler

I guarantee they wont shut it down. It is, however, common knowledge that the local police monitor facebook for underage drinking, etc. This is because everyone uses real names and locations are more organized... Its not worth trying to deal with all the 14y/o girls myspace's in order to find out if anyone dislikes their president.

Agreed. The only people who care about what people say on MySpace, Facebook, and any other popular social site are people such as the police, peoples' bosses from work, parents, etc. The government doesn't bother itself with things like MySpace. That's for the locals.

If you're just going to use it for friends why not just use the phone, MSN, Email, text message, and so on. I think MySpace is just to damn slow to be of any use to anyone except the child touchers.

Lame. I have 150 some friends, with a few being bands, musicians, and groups. The rest are people I've met and enjoy keeping in touch with and meeting up with in real life. Friends from school who have moved, friends I've met at shows, etc.

So, you have 150 friends? How many do you ever actually communicate with?

Also, do you see how you could still keep up with your RL friends over the phone or with IM, rather than MySpace? Same with friends who move away and people you meet when you're out of town.

[NeverSoft]

I dont like myspace personally, I only use it for the sake of music because it is a nice way to discover bands and bands similar to those bands and bands similar to those bands that are similar to the one you discovered!

But the friends thing, not feeling it

PS: I have never made a myspace.

I agree with MasterGlitch. Out of 150 friends I bet only a couple of those "friends" are people you actually know. I don't really consider people you've met online to be real friends because you don't actually know what kind of person they are or aything about them. If they tell you some life story of theirs how can you be sure they are telling the truth because they could easily be lying to you.

Quizilla has turned into that...more "would I date you, do you like goth peoplez?!1?!1" quizes than anything.

[Maddox]

MySpace is fun. REALLY fun.

Yes I am joking...

[Holic]

I would really like to see the original owners of goat.se to buy MySpace for a day or two. So the 14 year olds would go "OH NOES BUTTHOLE" and the 35 year olds would go "OH NOES OUR COVER HAS BEEN BLOWN".

[Tingebing]

Myspace and other social networking websites kill the thrill of really encountering people and meeting IRL. I have a friend who has had around 10 GF from a facebook copy. All of them failed after a week. These things never work! Okay I've met some new people but after short period the contact dithers. IRL contact si teh pro!

[Bmoney1337]

I say it's mostley good. I use it to promote my music... my rule is never meet someone in person that i meet on myspace... if u want to hear some 1337 music check me out

I remember when I first signed up for a MySpace --- before the advertisements, before the publicity, before the stupid layouts and corresponding layout sites with codes that make ones profile look like ass. Really, it wasn't so bad.

Then I got tired of people posting those stupid bulletins --- scroll down, make a wish, fear the dead girl hiding under your bed should you fail to repost, survey upon survey upon friggin' survey (really, how many times must you tell me your eyes are green and your middle name spelled backwards is gabehcuoD?). I got tired of the random friend requests by bands and married Mark from Michigan and prepubescent Sarahs and Lukes. I deny pointless friend requests and have no mercy on people who clog up my bulletin inbox.

I still use it, but I'll admit the whole thing has gone to hell.

You just completely summed up myspace. :clap:

[smashcake]

Thanks. I do what I can.

[Nightmarez]

:whistle:
I completely agree about the insanity as a bf/gf but for us - A Convention it has been a great tool to get a hold of gamers and fans of Horror, Sci-Fi all into our world and to recognize we exist - and a helluvalot cheaper than a radio ad, or any other form of advertising.

If you use it as a networking tool - :dance:

If you are using it to go on dates :wow::think:

So Myspace is for free advertising and networking only... :banana:

[Tomato]

Don't forget the "NEW FOTOS OMFG!!" bulletins...

One guy posted one of them in my account once when I was at his place. Punched him in the head.

[crooked]

Myspace is for free advertising

Thankfully 1337.com isn't.

[ilikegrapesoda72]

Yes i know its a good place to meat friends and you might run into someone who claims they emt their lover on myspace... but its not as good as it all sounds, rapists, melesters, and pediphiles are on their too, adn with all the "slutty" girls on their its just nasty... i think people need ot clean up their act on myspace and get a life...
yes i have a myspace but its JUST for friends and thats it...:confused:

1) Learn to spell.

2) That happens whenever humans are connected socially.

3) You're not 1337 :banana:

Cons = it's loaded with sexual predators



Pros =it's loaded with sexual predators ;D




but seriously, myspace is good for keeping in touch with friends.
sometimes finding ppl you used to know,
and occasionally finding a good band
[but we can leave that up to purevolume, its much better for that]

bands these days get "famous" because of myspace, and not because they are talented, but because they randomly add tons of ppl

such as :
fallout boy -these guys are horrid when playing a live show.......absolutely horrid
Hollywood Undead - the lead singer even said they were popular on myspace before they ever even played a live show. [wtf?]

so, all in all,
good for friends
bad for bands
[not all though]

Fall Out Boy got famous before myspace.

lawlz, that took away the feeling of achievement i received when i posted that

Myspace is just like a social forum, only with more rapists, spammers, and annoying addicts. I personally have a private myspace account to keep the rapists away, yet still keep in touch with friends. Its fun when you get the chance to talk to people you havn't talked to for a few years just because of a website. Then of course, there are telephones. But of course leaving a nice cold black and white message on the computer for your friend seems ok when it has your picture next to it. Thats where people seem to part ways. In this example, lets use a bf/gf situation. Would it not be better to call them instead of leaving "ily" next to your picture on a website. (By the way "ily" is a complete different coversation of fuck holes) Commenting someone on myspace is like giving them an autographed picture everytime you see them with a little message on it. I really don't think myspace addicts, who are constantly adding friends or "whoring" poeple are good. People who do that might as well go out and actually hang with the person instead. I do support myspace for the normal group of people who use it simply for its main purpose, leaving messages and catching up with friends (maybe setting up times to meet somewhere).

Break it down
Myspace: Good (I'm in favor of myspace)
Myspace addicts (ZOMG PICTAH): Bad
Sexual Preadators: Stay the hell away from my house, I gots a bat.
Random Hot people: PARTY!
:party:

[MasterGlitch]

Sexual Predators: Stay the hell away from my house, I gots a bat.

I must say, sexual predators are drastically underrated.

[Wolfin]

i think people need ot clean up their act on myspace and get a life...


By "clean up their act", you mean.. Cancel their myspace account? Then yes. Yes they do. In my opinion.

[xM1CH43L MC1N7YR3x]

I think is is good is some specs like its ok if you like 16 and up but like there is always these little people on and they always have very Inappropriet I actualy like facebook more tho

[The Jerusalem Man]

why revive a thread that hasnt been posted in for a month and was started 10 months ago.

[ipwnu]

I did start up with the big Myspace revolution, but shortly quit after all this BS started up.

I use Myspace now only for advertising my site. Lol

[unknownalt]

MySpace is good in some ways , evil in others.

[Wander]

Myspace is good for epic lulz.

Brutus for the winning team.

[Dark Rider]

Myspace is like a god to scene kids..

if you dont know what a scene is... well... i dunno what to say but yeh

its evil =[

:D

[friedbrains5]

its definatly evil but everyb0dy goes on it anyway

[DUP3R]

Myspace is great for finding kids who want to release a little sexual anger.

Well...I call it releasing sexual anger, they call it "going over to their house and playing some PS2."

[KilotriXium]

meh, myspace is evil in the sense that it's poorly programmed, terribly slow, and easily exploitable (scripts anyone?). Not to mention the fact that the ToS clearly states that any content placed on their site is owned by News. Corp. (aka Fox).

I completely agree. Also, the level of customization is pretty sad. Since there have been many exploits, they're disabled useful things such as IFrames, JavaScript, and now Flash movie linking. I made my whole profile in Flash to be unique, and now the links to work. :wall:

[Xchrom0someXX]

i keep my profile private and use it for family, friends, and networking. The 14 year old girls taking pics of themselves in underwear i could live without, but i think thats the parents fault. If you are over 18 post w/e pics you want. as for the rapists and w/e... just dont add strangers.

I agree 100% with him on that!!

[Chantony]

Meh, I'm not an addict or anything, but I agree that it's a good way to keep in touch with others. I don't really visit much, however, until I get an E-Mail that tells me I have a New Comment/Message/Whatever
>_>
