Maybe it just sucks?

Why did my band's page just disappear? fark you, myspace.

Comic Book Guy: davynelson: yeah, uh nice try but so stupid it could be patented.

I left myspace because they no longer allow people to download my music in mp3 form.

but it's way more personalized and fun than facebook.
facebook is the generic version of a social networking site
for people who just aren't that interesting or different.

Go to the wayback machine and start reading mid-90's web sites. Tell me how myspace differs at all from that.

When I click on someone's profile, I don't want to have to immediately search for the pause button to turn off some dumb ass country song that that person has up, and have that search hampered by 812343 ani gifs.

Can I get an AMEN!

This reason alone is why people have left myspace and moved to facebook. If anything myspace allows that "attention whore, look at me" part of our culture to whore it self out online, and for whatever reason that tends to be more associated with black or emo culture than other segments of society. (aka bling, bizarre piercings, etc)

///not just fanning flames

Wait, I DRTFA. They're saying it's a black site now? That's not why I left. I left because the website in itself is horribly designed and my friends were inactive on it.

Just wanted to clear that up.

I'm surprised no one mentioned that in the "internets" people flock to what is popular at the time,mess it up, and move on. Just like that really popular bar that just opened. Facebook will be obsolete in a couple years as well. A new social site will pop up and the "flight" will be to there, from Facebook. Nothing is permanent in the interwebsnets.

If you feel you have to justify yourself, the retards win.

Except Fark.

//oh and I brought an apple for Drew too.

MySpace > Facebook.

/Fark Facebook!

I never had a MySpace account. What does that make me? The geeky white kid in the suburbs?

TWO YEARS AGO:

All my net.friends: "Dude, what's your MySpace addie?"

Me: "I don't have one."

All my net.friends: "Z0MG! No wai! yo HAVE o have a MySpace page!"

Me: "I don't see it really doing anything for me."

All my net.friends: "U R a musician and a songwriter! YOU NEED a MySPace page!!1"

Me: "Nah."

NOW:

All my net.friends: "Dude, MySpace is totally useless."

Me: "Huh."

Karmadrome: glad to see they got something right in that article though "...And Macs are more cultured than PCs."

/Yep!!!!

Is this verbatim?

I always have my pepper spray with me when I browse Myspace.

I left myspace because it was constantly filled with bots, ads and Insane Clown Posse cover bands. Facebook has better privacy settings so only people who I actually know can be my friends. Furthermore, I can edit the page so only certain people can see certain information. Nobody made a big deal when Xanga (or whatever you were into back then) wasn't the big thing anymore. Sometimes a site just outlives it's usefulness, and it's not my responsibility to make sure everybody moves uniformly to the next big thing.

Close, save for the typos.

Why?

Ahhh the great social divide is still alive and kicking. Well! I think I'm now leaning towards ignorant people being the greatest form of entertainment.

/Butter popcorn & Pepsi please!

tetsoushima: Insane Clown Posse cover bands

that may be the lamest thing on god's green earth.

On the case.

Speakin' of MySpace anybody heard from JBonez lately??

So the migration from myspace to facebook is due to racism, what was the migration from friendster caused by, Zionism?

"There's a cultural wall between users. If there's no way for people to communicate across the divide, you can never expect them to do so."

I'm not interesting in communicating with anyone dumb enough to use MySpace.

FTFA:
"Any high school student who has a Facebook page will tell you MySpace users are more likely to be barely educated and obnoxious... like Peet's is more cultured than Starbucks and jazz is more cultured than bubblegum pop. And Macs are more cultured than PCs."
and:
"If you're on MySpace now, you're a [expletive] cretin. And you're not only a [expletive] cretin, but you're poor. Nobody who has beyond an 8th grade level of education is on MySpace. It is for backwards people."

Evidence:
Some shiatty Bar (pops)

/ I wouldn't click it either

GoldSpider: NicoFinn: Wait, I DRTFA. They're saying it's a black site now? That's not why I left. I left because the website in itself is horribly designed and my friends were inactive on it.

I think justification is a valid way of arguing a point, however if the point is beating retards, the whole thing is moot. Retards ALWAYS win, but as the old saying goes, they are still retarded.

GoldSpider: That was some serious weapons-grade stupid right there.

This made me chuckle.

MySpace blows chunks for all the reasons previously noted: obnoxious ads, garish pages, not user-friendly. I like Facebook much better. It's a cleaner design and easier to use.

I created a dummy MySpace account about three years ago with a throwaway email account, I never used the email address again, and I never posted a single thing on my page. Not long ago I found my login info and went back to check my account. I had somewhere around 300 friend requests from girls who thought I was hot and wanted to hook up.

Hmm. I guess I really *do* hate black people!

McStubbins: \hmmmm, I have no negro friends on Facebook....

I have one, and she's actually Cape Verdean.

OscarTamerz: So the migration from myspace to facebook is due to racism, what was the migration from friendster caused by, Zionism?

I think there's a joke in there about Tatsuma starting a blog but I'm too lazy to reach for it.

jsteiner78: IT IS SATIRE

I can't stand it when the satire tag gets forgotten or eschewed for the sake of trolling the main page.

Note to most wannabe musicians:

No one wants to hear your version of "Pride 'n Joy" on Myspace, Stevie Ray Yawn!

Well, no. They don't.

I worked with Stevie for a hot minute in 83, though and there weren't nothing boring about that ole boy.

I always thought the name "Friendster" made it sound like a creepy social site for pedos...

What is it with you Farkers and your Irish-hate? If you aren't picking on the Boyds, you're picking on the Morans.

Remember, Myspace introduced the world to this:

NicoFinn: Wait, I DRTFA. They're saying it's a black site now? That's not why I left. I left because the website in itself is horribly designed and my friends were inactive on it.

Just wanted to clear that up.

Exactly! I did NOT leave Myspace because of the blacks, and I resent everyone saying I did!

It was the Mexicans.

And Tom is my only friend.

Myspace's only purpose in life will be to remind us of what Geocities looked like after it's shut down by Yahoo.

Oh my... does anybody remember.. what was that site..?

Something city or town or whatever and the GUI was like all these windows and you clicked on one and it took you to your "neighbourhood" where your easy to generate page was?

There was a neighbourhood for everything. Fanboys, schoolgirls, TeeVee show addicts. The one for musicians was "Tin Pan Alley".

Wait - you don't LIKE my jet-black background with purple text over a scrolling image of mating unicorns while Alice in Chains plays at +11 during the onLoad?

Goddamn racist bastards!

Um what??? I went on MySpace because everyone I knew was using MySpace instead of FaceBook. Then I went on FaceBook because everyone I knew was using FaceBook instead of MySpace. I wasn't running away from people of color, just following the frikkin Web 2.0 social networking herd.

\I can't do anything right, can I????

to quote one of my friends:

"Facebook is for adults."

DarthBrooks: Wait - you don't LIKE my jet-black background with purple text over a scrolling image of mating unicorns while Alice in Chains plays at +11 during the onLoad?

What we all need to do is look at the program files of all of our friends and their kid's computers.

Look for ANYTHING that looks like an audio compression app.

Delete it.

Vtimlin: who cares.

Came for this. Rarely has so much been said with so little...

If you define yourself by your social networking page, you just might be a Boring Person. Good luck with that.

What? You don't like to giving up the frequency response and the dynamic range? Just because it changes music into barely recognizable noise is no reason to get all uppity.
