someone asked on mojo a few weeks ago. I clicked on a link and saw their site. I had gotten a sign on when surfing hot chicks one day, and had determined that it was a mecca for whores and perverts. It seemed kind of weird.

Anyway - I was listening to some funny guys from Austin on a country channel and they were talking about it. They were commenting on how weird it was. I started thinking. It was pretty weird.

You all agree, don't you???

*DO NOT mention religion or politics in this thread please.

**I DO NOT use myspace. I don't know why I would put my life on an open site like that.

I agree. The chicks that were linked to myspace were hot though.

A bunch of my friends are on myspace and are preoccupied with it. I absolutely refuse to sign up. I think it's a complete waste of time and a sign of the Apocolypse. It is a vehicle for attention whores and self-promoting a-holes, contributing to the decline of meaningful conversation and human interaction. Bah, I say!

What pr0n on yahoo???

I think it's funny to see folks on myspace talking about the dope they did last night and the dicks they sucked and what not. Weird.

There are currently (that I'm aware of) 109 monkeys on myspace. It's as wierd as you let/want it be. I use it to keep in touch with people and network. For that purpose it suits me fine.

I have a myspace account. A buddy talked me into it a few days ago, saying I could find people I went to high school/college with and get back in touch with them.

Apparenty he doesn't realize that I'm NOT in touch with them for a reason.

I signed up for it just because one of my friends is obsessed with it. All I got were constant messages from crappy bands and wannabe porn stars. I then removed myself from it. I honestly didn't see what is so entertaining about it, all he does is check peoples photos and take stupid surveys and write on his girlfriends page...man its so lame.

myspace has all the issues you guys are talking about, but its also a great place write crap, post pictures, keep in touch with people, watch what people are doing in their lives, search out people who you used to know and try to look in the backgrounds of their pictures and see if theyre living in a trailer...you know...useful stuff.
On my page, you cannot see my face in any pics. Kind of like Wilson on Home Improvement, so no stupid highschool people ever recognize me. Also I dont put any school info down either.

So it's more like "space.com"???

I have not checked out myspace more than a glance one day based off the thread about the jackasses from NJ. From a web development standpoint, stuff like myspace makes my vomit.

The few pages I saw were covered with stupid animations, poorly rendered images and had no layout. Crap was everywhere and it gave me a headache.

My wife thought it was funny when she put my picture up on hot-or-not. Then when i was a 9.2, she put her piture up and was only an 8.8, so it's not funny to her anymore.

But there are a lot of issues with kids on stuff like myspace and hot-or-not with stalking and exploitation.

i guess you haven't seen facebook. it's got less content than myspace, and more 'private', as only people from your school can get your info. which is why i don't understand how someone could spend hours on it.

I was purely noting the time we spend here, Dustin. Lots of folks wouldn't find this remotely entertaining.

Some guy that stalks Opie. I know it wasn't him, but think it's funny to use him and opie in the same sentence.

I fail to see how MySpace is any different from Ridemonkey.

I mean, we talk on here all the time about personal life to a bunch of people we've never met (for the most part).

The only difference with MySpace is that it's bigger and essentially unmoderated so you get more freaks and they're allowed to stay around.

How is it more weird than any other online community? :confused:

Some geeks (that I hung with in electronics class no less) from high school started a site for our school at www.thsalumni.com because people from Turlock are too broke to pay for an account at classmates.com :D

I have used ths to keep in touch with the few people I care to, but I was e-stalked by an old psycho from high school for a while from that site.

But like most, there is a good reason I haven't kept in touch with a lot of people over the years. If I want to find them to catch up or whatever, I can.
