myspace spam

Yeah, well I had to carry my punch cards up hill . . . BOTH ways . . .

Myspace is garbage. I took down all the info on mine, and will probably delete it shortly. The obfuscated and slow interface, combined with the spam from 2-3 people (seriously, I get something from the same dbag 5-6 times a day) makes a once-useful site into a flaming pile of crap.
 
I started on AOL when there was local access number. We had to dial long distance so I could only use it for an hour a week. I stuck to BBS systems :)

I downloaded an automatic dialer because you had to dial sometimes as many as 50 times to get through. Then I found some "secret" numbers that were never published. I remember upgrading my 9600 to a 14.4 and thinking that it was super fast.
 
anyone else getting a ridiculous amount of myspace messages these past couple of days? everytime I check my email it's loaded with junk like never before. I don't want to cancel my account yet (still holding on tight) but this crap's gotta stop. am i the only one experiencing this, or is myspace really about to finally go down completely?

Only a couple, and I wouldn't call it spam. One was a girl that said we should get together. Clicking on her profile would bring you to a hook up site. She probably weighs about 300 pounds. :D
 
I remember when Prodigy was our "ISP". Dad was all like check this out. How did we function back then.

The games were lame so I just went back to playing Nighthawk: F-117 Stealth Fighter.

Oh yeah,....MySpace is stupid. I deleted my account 3 years ago.
