-   -   Do you have a "My Space" account? (http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=14283)

MySpace, in my opinion, has much too many people. So many that an organized community is simply not possible. Despite that, I do have a MySpace account. According to my profile, I am an a) 17-year-old b) female c) living in Calhoun, Missouri. And absolutely no pictures.

a) false
b) true (call it female pride)
c) false. I don't even know where that is!

However, I do find myself a little annoyed at the "MySpace is dangerous, if you create an account you're doomed" cult. Anything can be dangerous, but only if you make it so.

Heh, my friend Meredith got herself a nice little stalker on myspace. And when I say "nice little" I mean old, fat, and creepy. Despite how much I love that girl, she is so, so stupid. She posted all kinds of information.. phone number, exactly where she works, etc. :nonono: The guy showed up at her work several times, harrassed her on her cell phone, and lots of other creepy things.

I'm sorry to say...
 
I have one. I'm not proud of it, and I don't like the fact I do, but I have one.

It all started one fateful day when I was perusing the dregs of the internet. I realized that many nifty pictures of attractive females were locked behind the link "View more pics." So I signed up. At first, I only gave my account to a select few I deemed worthy; by no means did I send friendship requests myself. But alas, in turn came a leadership camp this summer, and I had no other reliable(ish) way to keep up with my friends from there. And thus, I caved.

Don't worry though, there's a big ol' emptry space underneath the "About me" blurb box, and I have neither pictures of my motor vehicle, defined upper torso (or lack thereof), or of me commiting illegal activities. Nor do I leave comments on the pictures of attractive gals saying "girl u lookin fine!" Nor do I play the part of the suave-dude-who-is-actually-an-asshole, who leaves comments telling a girl how much fun she is to be around and how we should be sure and hangout sometime soon.

Just because I have one of those bastardized pages doesn't mean I have no dignity.

So you signed up to see the hawt gurlz and still retained your dignity?

I applaud you.

:laugh:

Myspace is good for keeping in touch with people who don't live close. Except when you go on to see that someone you love and care about has come online for the first time in four days and spoken to everyone except you. Then myspace sucks. :(

Rex Tirano 08-08-2006 08:05 PM

Haha well you should be online. :p Pfft. And seriously, stop checking who I've been talking to; it's scary :P.

I have a myspace but I'm not a stupid whoresque-girl. I have no "angles" and my clothing is firmly placed on. [But I do have quite an emo 'About me' section.] It's a good way of talking to people and having emoesque fights.

I was online an hour before you posted this, had been for about 3 hours. How about you come online at the right time? :p

DarkHoodness 08-09-2006 11:04 AM

Mm. Myspace. IMO there are better ways of keeping in touch with people online, for example, traditional methods such as IM or E-mail and simply talking to them. Stupid as I think it is, I really don't have much against MySpace. It is the users choice after all if they use it and how much info they put about themselves on it.

One thing though, it's damned funny when people take the piss out of it and thier users. :D Try searching on YTMND from time to time.

EDIT: Oh yeah, it's kind of obvious from this post, but nope, I don't have a Myspace account. :P Instead I have a Deviantart account - Most of my friends are on there too and we share artwork and photos and crap.

Thinking about it though. . . I mean, Myspace is about community, right? You can't get too much of a community spirit using just E-mail and IM. . . Augh, just ignore this.

What is EMO?
About my space.... dunno. From your posts, I find out that that is a some kind of voayers [sp] and phedophilist [sp] paradice. Stupid teenagers showing their buts and bragging for some comments. example:

By then I didn't had a clue wtf My Space is. My neighbour's cosent (13-year old american girl) came to my house and asked me to use internet. I let her. I saw dose avatars ......... teen hookers....... She had a friend, a 30 year old guy!!! (I saw it cause browser saved her password and username) Goddamn dose are kids who should play with dolls and wach cartoons.... insted they are wearing bra [u know what I mean] full of soaks.... terible. Burn My space... burn in hell...

Check out this for some urban dictionary for some definitions.
This one is my favorite:
Emo is punk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday, and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands.
girlfriend: C'mon, lets have sex.
boyfriend: I'm too sad to have sex.
girlfriend: I'm sad too; lets have sex and cry.
boyfriend: I'm already crying.

I seems that now days that almost every man and his dog has a My Space Page.

Even starship captains have a myspace! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...iendid=7367591

Oh yeah I've got plenty of star trek characters on my myspace!

Question: If you visit someone's myspace, can they tell you've been there?

Or, to put it another way, is there a way for people to see whom has visited their page?

oddlemm 09-03-2006 01:11 PM

I hate that site so much....it burns my eyes! >_<

Rex Tirano 09-03-2006 01:21 PM

Nate, to my knowledge, you can't. You can see how many people have been on your page but you can't single them out and point fingers at them.

And incase I haven't already said. Yes I have. Haha.

Actually to my knowledge I wouldn't know for sure since I havent bothered setting one up. But there is a 3rd party download or code you can put in your site and it will tell you who has viewed your site.
