I was thinking of joining Myspace but when I tried to sign up I saw something that I didn't like.

Apart from some information about you, if you live in the Uk or Us you have to put also your post code in. Which is exactly the same as your address in that matter. WTF? I wouldn't want to give away my home address just like that. Should I lie?

Mr Jake · Wed 07/12/2005 12:21:47

Its not nearly the same as your address.Ã,Â Post sent to "BS11 9ND" may arrive at my street (well. be returned or binned as unsendable), but it wont come to my house now, will it.Ã,Â

I'm not really sure why you have too though. Its most likely to help prove you live in those countries.

Nikolas · Wed 07/12/2005 12:32:55

It actually depends on where you live.

Try typing in multimap SL4 2NP. You will get the street (The Friary) the house name and everything else you ever need. And it is a sinlge house! So there I am! BTW, I don't live there any more, but just an example...

That's why they have a privacy policy, I presume...

Mr Jake · Wed 07/12/2005 14:12:43

Fine. Prove me wrong

But yes, privacy policy.

The reason why I like myspace/friendster is that you can track down people you've lost touch with. Just this week I've learned that one of my childhood friends had a two year old kid out of wedlock and his parents bribed him with a house to get married! And that everyone in the town I grew up in is either married/divorced/with child or all of the above. these are useful things to know!

I've been wanting to say that in this thread so badly.

I joined MySpace when this topic started a year ago. I barely use it, but for some reason I do check it relatively often. Anyone who has a passing interest in doing so, feel free to drop in and say hi.

Akumayo · Thu 08/12/2005 02:06:43

I have a myspace:

http://www.myspace.com/darkjt

It... isn't really updated much, but whatever, I still get on all the time.

[Cameron] · Mon 12/12/2005 11:24:47

I have it. I have Chicky, Luke and Greg added already. Have had for a long time.

Should have chosen a better url but I'm stuck with it now.

I've had mine for a long time too actually.

DoorKnobHandle · Thu 28/12/2006 19:19:53

Mine's been in my signature for ages. I don't use it for friends, but for muzak.

myspace.com/subrockspace

Feel free to add me.

m0ds · Thu 28/12/2006 20:11:41

I have one too, but it's mostly for hometown & mittens friends.

LimpingFish · Thu 28/12/2006 20:28:49

I had a MySpace thingie for a while.

Turned out not to be such a good way to meet prospective Mrs. LimpingFish's. :'(

My profile is now blank, though.

Darth Mandarb · Thu 28/12/2006 21:50:35

I have a mySpace account ... but the sloppy-ass design of the site clashes with my design-sense and I just can't get down with it. Everything is jumbled and out of alignment. Even messing with the code it still looks sloppy.

I like the idea of it ... just not the execution.

As a result I never use the thing.

ManicMatt · Thu 28/12/2006 23:48:50

I probably posted in this thread ages ago..

My profile is more like half personal and half music actually. (See sig)

I also run Jesus Jones' myspace profile now! And the keyboardist and drummer are on there to tell me of any news!

And if that wasn't cool enough, the lead singer sent me an email thanking me for my efforts!

It was my own idea to make the profile. Every other band ever has profiles, so it annoyed me that JJ didn't have one.

voh · Fri 29/12/2006 00:12:51

I have one, and though I hate it from a webdesigner's as well as from a webdeveloper's view, I do like how it sets a goal and reaches it. It's a networking site, and it does do that.

So while its execution is painful from the get, alllll the way to the go, I do embrace the idea behind it.

Also, this is my profile, purposefully kept as simple as possible, as to not be like most profile (i.e. eye-bleeding inducing rapefests): http://www.myspace.com/shadevoh

There's also two songs there (it's the flash player in the who i'd like to meet part, seemingly hard to miss, but I'm too lazy to place it elsewhere)

Timosity · Fri 29/12/2006 00:45:27

I've been a member there for a couple of years, started it up as a joke when one of my friends came round one day and introduced me to it. I mainly use it to keep in touch with a few friends, I still have not requested 1 friend since starting, and have denied most requests I get.

It's not a bad place, it's interesting how much info you can find out about friends from other peoples comments, blogs and bulletins, I wonder how many relationships this type of thing destroys.

A perfect place for stalkers, so if you want to stalk me I'm sure it wont be hard to decipher my myspace address
