Myspace

Speed · 12-12-2007, 10:18 PM

It sucks, It's full of 8-year olds and camera whores and you can easily get your info stolen from it. So what do you think.

***Ace Mercury*** · 12-12-2007, 10:20 PM

Myspace is just like a caveman proctologist: it's old, and only losers and clueless newbies still go there expecting something good to happen, even though everyone savvy enough has gone somewhere else.

Blake · 12-12-2007, 10:53 PM

Yeah I was anti face and space for the longest time. Then I thought maybe I could get some friends.. uhh particularly a girlfriend(YEEEEAHHHHHHH.. anyway) so I still do have one. I only use it to talk to one friend cause he's never on aim.

But yeah it sucks. The amount of people that fall to phishing is too funny. Though admittedly I almost did fall for it once, it was SO fake, but good thing firefox warned me about it. I did deserve to get phished for that stupid mistake though.

I just think people use faces and spaces primarily just to gain a high-fake number of friends to make themselves look popular. I'm not afraid if I only have 20 friends. Quality is better than quantity in my book.

Thank you for listening to only the media's side of Myspace.

Not everybody who has a Myspace will be some 10-year-old camslut. Hell, that's not even the majority of users! And another *huge* shocker is that getting a Myspace will not automatically get you stalked by a predator. It's called "not being an idiot".

Yes, because the rest are 12-year old whores.

In other words, Myspace is like Fergie: Ugly as hell, but people like it anyway.

I would hardly call myself a whore, and I'm certainly not twelve. So, thank you for insulting me.

Honestly, I hate people who bitch. I've given this same speech multiple times, but if you don't like it, don't use it. Some of us actually use it to communicate with our friends. So, please stop insulting us, because there are plenty of people who use myspace responsibly. Face it, there are risks with ANY online profile website... and you people act like you can't find people who will post slutty pictures of themselves ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE INTERNET. Facebook has just as many sluts - I know, my roommate is one of them.

My main beef with MySpace is that it's owned by Rupert Murdoch. -CSM

Aydzz12 · 12-13-2007, 10:24 PM

LOL, well, another one of these, looks like Imma have to think of one of my old speeches.

Anyways, QUIT ****ING BITCHING. As ZG said, not everyone on myspace is a whore/ 12-year old slut. If you feel like your gonna get raped by some predator, don't use it, just quit insulting the people that do have one. Also, there is a way to put your profile on private, so you can approve of who can and cannot see your profile. Aside from the few VGF'ers, Bands, and KO clannies, I know everyone on my profile personally. And really, I dare you, I dare you, go on my profile, look at all my female friends and see if any of them is a slut/whore.

Galefore · 12-13-2007, 10:49 PM

...

Seriously, who cares about MySpace. I thought it had died in a ****ing fire by now. If it hasn't so be it.

I don't have one.
I don't want one.
I'll never get one.
Nobody gives a damn and neither do I.

All aside, I see it has amply brainwashed Panfan. Poor, poor bastard.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 12-13-2007, 10:54 PM

^Panfan is my friend.

Irkenwarrior12 · 12-13-2007, 11:15 PM

I have one! That I only used once! Suprise!

Aydzz12 · 12-13-2007, 11:18 PM

I too have Panfan on my myspace, he the one of the funniest ones I got xD.

**Crazyswordsman** · 12-13-2007, 11:24 PM

Did I ever say anything about whores/sluts?

NO, I NEVER DID.

Except that. And that. And that and that and that and that and that.... and that. -CSM

DarkZero · 12-14-2007, 06:09 AM

If there really is a lot of phishing, why not shut down MySpace? The same damn reason they still sell cigarettes, I guess.

Plus, who needs MySpace when you got VGF Forums?

I don't quite blame the people or spambots that start the phising. I blame the foolish people that succumb to it cause it's funny. 500 dollar macy cards anyone? lol

Though now they changed their tactics up a bit "hey, check out this site. i just went to it and was amazed by the the relationship results it gave me" or the other one: "omg. i can't believe she put those pictures up, he's gonna get so mad!" etc. etc. etc.

STOP LOOKING AT ME · 12-14-2007, 02:57 PM

Comparing Myspace to Cigarettes doesn't make too much sense.

There is no Good in Cigarettes, while in MySpace, there is a tiny bit a good that won't give you cancer.

I have a Myspace, but that was to hang out with Arensa.

I don't go there anymore.

Well, let's see. They're both addicting. They both get more complaints than praise. Plus, they both completely steal your life. I'd rather put a stick of tobacco in my mouth than go to that junk yard called MySpace.

Maynard James Keenan · 12-14-2007, 04:47 PM

1. I am not addicted to Myspace, and everybody I know that has a Myspace is not addicted.
2. That's because the media never says anything good about anything.
3. Oh yeah, Myspace stole my life. I eat, drink, and sleep Myspace. No. I check my comments a few times a day, maybe add a new picture. That doesn't sound like it stole my life. What about you, members with Myspaces? Did the big bad website steal your life?

By your logic, ZG, ML, UN, March, Bartman, and many other members are crazy Myspace freaks. Yeah, whenever I see them post, they're talking about how great Myspace is and how it's their life.

So you'd rather give yourself lung cancer than go to a harmless website? Yes. Harmless. I say that because most people don't say, "Hi my name is Sarah. Here is my telephone number and address!" Again, it's called not being a dumbass.

Myspace was created as a place to make new friends, and to keep in touch old ones. The media has made everyone believe that it's the worst thing ever for your kids to be on, when it's not.

Let's say you have a band. You're not getting very far, so you put a profile for your band on Myspace with some songs. People can find your profile and listen to the music, and if they like it, send it to their friends.

Yeah, the possibility of getting people to listen to and like your music because of Myspace. They're horrible.
