    now, i have a myspace account, which consists of my name and a blank page. this has happened for a while, but within the past couple of weeks, i have averaged about 3 emails a day saying that ina, or michelle, or nicole, or amanda, or jasmine, or samantha, or julie (all real names included in the emails) would like to be my friend. what gives?


    have i all of a sudden become the mack daddy of myspace? :D

    I get them too, they are just spam for porn sites. When you get them instead of clicking "deny" click "mark as spam".

    Just another reason to delete you account and make friends in the real world. :)

    Those websites just need to die. All they are for anyway are for kids to passively brag about how they do cooler things with cooler people than old friends they don't actually talk to anymore but still stalk each other. It the new modern way of the old tradition of "driving a Ferrari to their high school reunion to get back at that guy that bullied you or that hot girl that wouldn't go out with you". lol

    unless your talking to actual friends on there, it's a "waste-of-space"

    I hate that f'n site now.

    I like myspace for the messaging and I do communicate to real friends through myspace. You can set it up so that if someone want to send you a request they need to know your last name. I got fed up with the porn request so thats what I did, works like a charm

    I don't have a myspace account, but used to have a facebook account. My friend said I should join facebook so I opened and account and looked around. I didn't "get it" because I just call up or e-mail the people I know so I deleted it then. I still don't get that crap...

    I also hate how people can customize myspace because most people make it the ugliest page that plays obnoxious music. Facebook is alot cleaner and more private and just more pleasant in general.

    There are automated bots that people run which go through a randomly generated e-mail address list to find myspace accounts and friend-request-spam them. I found one such program a few weeks back.. customer of my hosting company was running one and I just happened to spot it. Terminated their ass instantly :)

    Always some hot girl with only one or two pics in her profile? ...careful, some of the scammers are infecting MindlessSpace. Here is a letter I got from one of these so-called darlings on my account;

    Hi,

I am 5'6 hight and 145 pounds, blue eyes and light brown hair, cool,lovely,caring,playful and honest young lady looking for a serious relationship. I like going to beach for relaxment playing tennis which is my favorite sport and that is what i do in my spare time. I am the only Daughter of my Late parent who died in auto accident in states on 20 july 2006, After their tragic death i Then relocate to stay with my Uncle in SACRAMENTO, but he treated me bad and he even tried to rape me several time when he is drunk so i then ran away from him before he ruined my life to West Africa country to meet a bosom friend of mine in Nigeria which is the place am at right now. But on getting here i can't find my friend,so i had to lodge in a hotel till i can find her.But when i find her she was staying in a single room and we had to look for a good apartment for but of us to be staying but later she felt ill of malaria and i had to take her to the Hospital for better treatment and help her financially by paying her bills and medication which makes me to get broke ...But i thanks GOD she is getting better for now.But the problem am having now is that am owing the hotel some money and i don't know how am going to come up with it. Though i still have a valid return ticket back to SACRAMENTO, if you feel like helping me in other to get my passport back before my ticket expire and also to stay with you for a while if you do mind because i don't want go back to that my stupid uncle anymore. I need a man to spend the rest of my life with and be my true love,someone who will love me for me,someone to set my soul free,someone who will satisfer me and compliment me and who knows if it might be you. Hope to hear from you soon if you really want to help me in this my predicament.

    Regards,
    Dammy

    MySpace has become pretty handy for criminal research...

    A murder/rape victim in Crystal Beach last weekend had a page so we could see who she was.....move her over to MyDeadSpace now, I suppose.

    Yea, I created an account with no info, to look at a friend's page and now I get all those requests....a bummer.

    There are other, BETTER social networks that are completely devoid of that kind of nonsensical spam and you can communicate with real, like-minded people. :)

    You guys need a dummy e-mail address (hotmail-yahoo-gmail) as a secondary - one you never do anything with, just for validating this type of crap.

    Well you can turn off the e-mail notifications entirely if you want to, however when a "real" friend of mine sends me something I do want to have the e-mail... so its just a matter of them filtering out the spam.

    I wonder, too :D but I know for a fact that it doesn't yield any of the silly, pre-teen crap with which these guys are dealing.

    Unfortunately, the sites advertised are rubbish.

    However, if PAP was on MySpace, that would be enough for me to not delete my account!
