Do you have a "My Space" account?

Wolfpac · #1 08-03-2006, 08:41 PM

I seems that now days that almost every man and his dog has a My Space Page. I don't know why it's such a crappy site. But still it has boomed beyond belief. So I'm wondering if you have been sucked into this trap (or something similar eg Friendster) or are you an Internet rebel who has not sold out?

I'm an internet rebel.
You'll never take me alive My Space!

This is ironic because I happen to have a friend who made a page for her dog. I have to admit it's actually kind of funny.

No, I do not have a myspace. It's just drama and girls who conveniently angle their cameras to look down their shirts in all their photos. Of course, there's the occassional good band, but I don't even know much about that because the site crashes my browser.

Abeguy · #4 08-03-2006, 09:15 PM

Ambi, you have said the truth, all the girls just obsess about people commenting their pics, and all that, some even put the most random things on the bulletins that make to frikking sense. I loathe MySpace, but I don't know how to get rid of mine.

Cullen Heath · #5 08-03-2006, 11:14 PM

Please, don't ever mention My Space on this Forum again. I can't stand it.

oddguy · #6 08-03-2006, 11:28 PM

I told myself I'd never get a myspace. Mainly because everyone was doing it and I didn't feel like being a sheep. One of my aquainteces pretty much whores herself out and hooks up with random folk on myspace. Lame.

Sadly, I did succumb to the overwhelming power of myspace. It's not too bad. I don't spend all day on there like some people I know. Lately I've been checking up on old friends and family I haven't talked to in forever. It's cool to see people you knew when you were 10 in the now-ness and how much they've changed.

Yeah...I won't be posting for another 6 months or so. I pop in here every once in a while to make sure you kids still remember me.

Later

I made mine because I was bored. And saying that everyone who uses it fit with the stereotypes of being whorish or emo is a rather prejudiced statement.

As a way of keeping in touch with people its great, its also a great thing for bands. And it seems the new 'sheep' movement is to hate myspace.

Al the Vykker · #8 08-04-2006, 08:42 PM

I have an account for the basic reason of keeping up with some friends that arent too close and that I prolly won't see either too much next year when I get back from my first year of college but also prolly won't talk to much again. I also use it to keep up with a few friends who might not have AIM or other means of communication, plus it does have a few nifty features. Otherwise I mainly use AIM, Facebook to keep up with my friends leaving for college, or who have already.

ANN NEELY · #9 08-04-2006, 09:02 PM

I had one, but I stayed awake all night wondering, "What in seven Hells have I gotten myself into?! "

The thought of MySpace makes me make little sicky noises.....ew. All the girls on there do exactly what Ambi said, it's annoying and slutty.

***Xavier*** · #10 08-04-2006, 10:40 PM

I only go there because some bands give some exclusive infos, music or contest on MySpace

sometimes I can even save the mp3 file of their music player

I can exploit it, so I don't mind my space

however I never made a page or anything like that, what good about it?

Reiterate'd.

I have none, but that's because I don't wish for an internet social life.

Statikk HDM · #12 08-05-2006, 02:34 AM

I've always thought MySpace was shitty, I'm no sheep. You ever think that it isn't sheeplike to hate something that sucks and everybody is jumping on? If people who think MySpace sucks are sheep than the people who recently made MySpace accounts are trend-following, gullible bandwagon hoppers. And there is nothing worse than a bandwagon hopper to me when it comes to things like this.

Fez · #13 08-05-2006, 03:59 AM

I have one for the band. But all 3 of us had access so it got confusing when all 3 of us were trying to talk to 1 person (Promoter, other band etc).

So I made a personal one to make things easyer for me to sort out. I Radioheaded it up abit too.

Like i've said before, I can't stand the self obsession some people have on it. But it is useful for bands.

***Nate*** · #14 08-05-2006, 06:04 AM

I signed up as I have friends who are myspace whores and they occasionally tell me to go view some photos or seethe page of their new boyfriend or whatever. I haven't put any info on myself up as I can't be bothered, quite frankly. All of my friends who have myspace also have facebook, which provides for all of my communication needs.

Kimon · #15 08-05-2006, 07:07 AM

Hmmm... it seems that Myspace is the 'in' thing to hate. I do agree that there are a whole bunch of slutty-whorey stupids on the site, but I find it quite fun. Go myspace!

***Wil*** · #16 08-05-2006, 12:45 PM

I hate MySpace because it is rank and clumbsy - nothing to do with shepherded opinions. I have, however, saved a great number of friends' MySpaces to my bookmarks so I can keep up with their photos and so forth. I have even considered making a bare bones account to aid in communication with friends I have long since fallen out of contact with. I know I've found a couple of them.

The main reason I haven't is because I can't be bothered. As a perfectionist, I could never make anything worthwhile on there, but I'd keep trying. Sod that, I'm off for some cheese and crackers.

Havoc · #17 08-05-2006, 03:50 PM

Myspace is for the emo people who can't find any friends in real life and need to resort to getting their 'friends list' in the tripple digits.

So, to all the emo girls out there: Go kill yourself.

To all the emo guys: Go help them and enjoy your showers in jail.

(To all myspace users on this forum, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE! Now go check out my live journal please, thank you.)

***Wil*** · #18 08-05-2006, 06:45 PM

I would if only you updated more often.

Kamille · #19 08-05-2006, 07:00 PM

Havoc It would be a more macho way to go to jail then some of their friends I'm sure, but really nothing is wrong with myspace if it makes people happy

***Wil*** · #20 08-05-2006, 07:16 PM

Actually, John, it may be making happy certain people who we'd perhaps rather not be made happy by us. MySpace is a superb way of accidentally getting to know one of those people who isn't who they claim to be. You know what I mean. This is made all the worse by MySpace being the domain of ditzy, mindless fools.

It's also been known for potential employers to look at potential employees' MySpaces (and similar Internet services) to see what kind of person they're accepting onto their payroll. In my books, that's a shitty invasion of privacy.

I'm not one of those people. Neither are any of my friends. Stop the hate!

Another thing that seems to be 'in' to hate is emo kids. But that's neither here nor there.

Statikk HDM · #22 08-06-2006, 02:25 AM

Why we hate emo kids? S.O.D. said it 20 years ago and it still stands to this day:
Why do you play so fast... to be cool? If you think you'll last... you're just fools. You try to be something... that you're not. And all you do is fill our ears... with rot. You claim to be hardcore. Well that's a bunch of shit. You're just a bunch of snot nosed kids. A real group of tits. You make your bed you lay in. I bet it's made of shit. You think you're all so macho. I bet you all have clits.
You're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, **** you.
We offered you our hands. You just turned your backs. You're just a bunch of poser douchebag faggot, dickless hacks. Wearing all their douchy clothes. They like to watch each other pose. They're all the same, so ****in' lame. We'll shove their spikes right up their holes!
You're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, **** you.
You make your bed you lay in. I bet it's made of shit. You think you're all so macho. I bet you all have clits.
You're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, you're just a douche crew, **** you.

Statikk HDM · #24 08-06-2006, 02:36 AM

Lyrics to live by. I just went to Myspace and plucked some at random. Arrgh, its so cluttered and busy it makes me pine for the average blog's setup. That aint good, people. Thats a real "toto, we're not in Kansas anymore" moment to have.

Rich · #26 08-06-2006, 06:40 AM

Y'know Statikk, I'm quite amused by you. You seem to hate everything, how can you devote your life to such trivial hatred of all these stupid things that aren't worth worrying about? It seems every single topic and post you make is a rant about something.

Fez · #27 08-06-2006, 07:58 AM

Seconded.

used:) · #28 08-06-2006, 04:44 PM

I hate MySpace.

I hate it because it shows that most people my age truly have so little to do in their spare time that they are whoring themselves out to the internet, begging for comments on their pictures. It's also because it's a fad, and if there's anything I hate, it's fads.

Dark Elite_H2 · #29 08-06-2006, 04:47 PM

Statikk HDM · #30 08-06-2006, 05:25 PM

I love many things. Minnesota sports, salami, kittens when they aren't sneaking in to my room and pissing everywhere, a good game of Magic or Hackmaster or HERO, a good book, politics, heavy metal. But it is a lot easier for me to hate things, and rants come quicker and better to me than raves. For instance, I support Ned Lamont's bid for the Democratic primary in Connecticut. However, if I were to start a thread about the primary, which I believe to be one of the most important primaries in years, and easily the most important in my lifetime I wouldn't write about Lamont being solid gold, I'd scream out a 5 paragraph rant about how Lieberman is a treacherous douchbag.
On topic, just because some things are more stupid than others doesn't excuse the slighter stupidity. Not putting the seat up before you piss is stupidwhile pissing on an electric fence is suicidally retarded but they're both stupid.
