I just cancelled my MySpace account. There was way too much bullshit SPAM to wade through to make it worth updating. Plus... it lost its luster real quick.

the fuckin macy cards, and invites from fake webcam bitches
SOUL STRUT is MYSPACE.
SOULSTRUT is YOURSPACE
SOULSTRUT is OURSPACE
All of that stuff is spambots, here is how it works[/b]
1) The spambot gets the myspace persons password (they have a mocked up page that looks EXACTLY like myspace but the url is a little different, something like www.imyspace.com) the person says "DAMN! myspace logged me out again! grrr" and proceed to type in their password. The spambot now has control over your account.
2) The spambot has a routine where it logs into the users account using their username and password and sends out a bulletin or comments to all of the hacked users contacts.
3) This usually shows up as the free macy's giftcard or a fake youtube screen capture, when you click on any of these things, you too will be sent to imyspace.com and asked for your password, cycle continues.
How to avoid this situation - 3 options[/b]
1) Cancel crapspace account
2) Disable HTML comments on your page (also gets rid of stupid band stuff too) and avoid bulletins.
3) Whenever you are asked to login, ALWAYS check the URL.
If you do get hit, log in, delete the spabot comments from your page and change your password. Also good to message the infected person if you care, if not, DELETE FROM FRIENDS.

Gross. She's 16. Perv.
true
I hope so.
Paging Mylatency: I (almost) got hit by one of these via your account last week.
I want to cancel my MS too, but people from my past who randomly hit me up make it worth keeping around for awhile, even if I rarely log in to check it.
saying. I can't tell you how many times I have clicked on a Myspace link of somebody's, had a new browser pop up with the myspace bar at the top appear immediately, counted off the lengthy delay in my head as the rest of the page loads, and then said fuckit and closed the window before it had a chance to load.
I shudder to think of the vast world of mediocre music I could have been exposed to if Myspace pages only loaded faster.
is the jam. way more old school contacts on there.
R.I.P.
The two times I had my finger on the cancel button but held off for a minute, both times I wound up getting contacted later that week by people I was happy to hear from and hadn't seen in over ten years. One of them was a month ago, so I guess I'll keep it open for a bit.
One of my best friends cancelled his a few months ago and his wife fought with him about it. I recall the quote from her as "You're basically telling my friends you want nothing to do with them". Sad. Just sad.
was good when it was more 'exclusive' now there's too much junk (applications, etc)
Can't even list all the great hook-ups and opportunities I've had from myspace. The good far out weighs the bad IMO. I wouldn't even be on that shit if I wasn't an artist.
wait, didn't I get one of those macy's cards comments from you? hahaha
Yeah I'm not gonna lie, that shit may have hit me too, but I ended up changing my password right quick after some girl I know hollered at me about it. That's what I get from logging into Myspace on my Blackberry when I'm supposed to be DJing!
