nevermind found it under "basic info."

i'm on here....haven't figured it all out yet, but i'm on. My myspace

Myspace is pissing me off. Everytime I try to hide my last login, it tells me there's been an error & I get kicked off & have to sign in again. What the hell is going on?

OK. I have a question for you myspace experts...need advice on how to handle something.

Today I got an e-mail via myspace from someone I didn't know. Looked @ the pic by the note - looked like a nice guy holding two kids about 7-9 years old...smiling family portrait. The content of the e-mail itself is VILE...basically a question about what sorts of intimate activities I enjoy. So I click on the guys profile...it's so benign...talks about what a great single dad he is, how inspired he was by the example his father set...he's a CHRISTIAN...only been in love one time, blah,blah, blah.

I'm so pissed. So first, I just blocked him. But I cannot stand the thought that this dude is out there, and really want to post the text of the e-mail, including a link to his profile, in my blog.

Talk me out of it...I'm sure the ignore function is best...I don't need cyber-harassment, but there is absolutely NOTHING about my myspace that would suggest I would welcome such an e-mail (not to mention my profile pic is of the DH and me...). Seriously. WTF is wrong with people????

I'd be pissed too! But, in this case, I think it's best to remember that he probably wants attention, and is probably a pretty worthless person. As my mama always says, "Life is not for everyone. Some people are just taking up space." This guy is one of those; responding would just probably make him send you more emails. And that would be...ew.

Of course any normal person would just ignore the guy...

But there are communities and websites dedicated to internet faggotry at its best.

I know LiveJournal has their MySpace Drama community, but I'm sure there are many others out there. You'd be surprised as to how PUBLIC these pervs get...so much so that it comes back to haunt them. Sometimes they need embarassment to finally get a clue.

Good one. Hopefully the block function will work & I won't get anything else like that. I wish there was a way to set it up so you can only get messages from people you know. I'm just ooged out that the guy has kids (assuming, of course, that the pic & profile are for a real person...I realize it could just be some loon...). I'm not getting into any drama & won't respond or mention it in my blog....

Latest MTV Fishing Expedition
 

It has been brought to my attention that the message below is being sent to members of myspace groups. Looks like MTV is having a hard time coming up with original storylines. :rolleyes:


Hi there:
I'm a Casting Director at MTV News & Docs and were developing a new show about initiations that will feature entertaining stories about amusing rites of passage into clubs and teams around the country. Were not looking for tales of anything that even remotely resembles hazing, rather were out to find some good old-fashioned hilarity. And, whether you played chess or rugby, were in a fraternity or the marching band, I'd love to hear about your funny initiations.

Our show will recreate the real-life experiences as told by the very people who live through the late-night kidnappings, messy missions and the occasional run-ins with cops or school administrations. Well hear from those that plan and plot the adventures and those who are forced to participate.

If you have or know of any juicy or funny stories that scream to be told from the recent past, check out MTV's Casting Call website or just e-mail directly at brooke.balick@mtvnmix.com. And, of course, feel free to pass this e-mail on to anyone else that may have some kind of initiation story to tell!

Best,
Brooke Balick

The new round of "profile trackers"
 

Relax, no new codes that I know of. Free ones, anyway.

But last night, in the span of about an hour, my bulletin box was inundated with the same post regarding profile trackers.

It was a link in a bulletin that took you to a page, which then instructed you to repost that crap in a bulletin with the promise that you'd get the code within 12 hours. On that page were ads and links up the yin yang.

Now, I get the feeling that this new "tracker" doesn't really work and that whoever created that site is making bank based on the hits that one site's getting.

Does anyone know for a fact if it works or not? Who else is annoyed by all these freaking bulletins?

And regarding paid trackers, yes...there's a few out there that still work, but I don't know why anyone would fork over $$$ if Tom's just gonna block the code again. Apparently some dude name Terikan's unloading them one by one, so when Tom blocks a code, he'll have another one ready.

And all of this can be yours for $5.

The new code on profilesnoop is working again. I reinstalled it yesterday & today, I saw the 11 people who looked at my page.

bulletin spam
 

I'm really getting irked by al of the bulletin spam....

You know what I mean -- those copied/pasted posts about how if you post it in your own bulletin, you will have good luck for 54789062 years or your true love will ask you to marry them or something.

Seriously people! I know you're more intelligent than that :(

HAHAHAHAHAHA!


I'm also sick of the ones that say if you don't repost this in 2 minutes, seconds, hours, etc. YOU WILL DIE! No joke b/c so-and-so knew a person who's friend had a sister that died. :rolleyes:
Come on. Those stupid bulletins are LAME!

thats what i'm getting:(

Yeah. :(

Mine is doing that too now. Dammit. It was fine yesterday. :(
Oh well.

Thanks Lindz. This ones for you

A question about myspace groups. I administer my sorority's group and I made it private so only members can post bulletins and stuff on it. However, non-members can still read our topics and discussions and stuff. Is there any way to make it private so that only group members can read it? The only way I found was to make the group hidden, but I don't wanna do that because I want alumnae to be able to find us, and if I make it hidden, then they can't request to join the group.

How do you insert an image into someone's myspace comments section? I keep trying and it's just doing the link...

type in <img src="www.picture.com">

:D Thanks Bobby! YOU ROCK!

About how long does a profile stay "new?"

My boyfriend finally signed up for myspace and I guess he has been featured on the Cool New People links. Well, his picture is of his MINI Cooper.

He's been getting up to 200 new adds a day. And then messages up the yin yang. I figure people are seeing him on the Cool New People link, dig the car and hit "Add." He denies them because they are totally random folks, but is there another place that people are finding his profile? Do other new people have this problem? Did you?

He's just wondering when the spam will stop. (And no, he doesn't want to change the picture.)

that happened to me too...i was getting about 100 a day for a few days when I changed my profile setting by requiring people to input my surname or email address.

have him do that...it's easier.

-cory

So I just found someone I knew in college and said person created 2 myspace pages - one for herself and one for her dog...that's all Im going to say...

I just flew in from Evanston Ill to have sex with a myspace girl.

Yeah man! WOOO!!!! Myspace wooooooooo!

MOOOO GEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Within a couple hours of my creating a MySpace profile, I got a friends request from a former student I had taught 4 years ago. I had no problem with this- I even let his classmates add me.

I have had friends requests from random bands, random people around where I live, and even one guy trying too hard to find common ground with me. I did not friend any of those.

I even put a disclaimer saying that if you want to add me, you either have to know me, or have a major interest in common with me. Well that guy tried using the "no kids" card (even though we technically had put two different answers), the creativity and artistic card, the advanced degree card, you name it. Had he mentioned just one interest in common, I may have considered him- but he came across as too desperate. I do not know him. I am not in a position to grant him any favors. So why would he try so hard?

I can now say I have a myspace stalker. I had a friend request from a guy I used to know in high school. We weren't really friends actually more like acquaintances though we did sit next to each other at graduation. With our 10 year reunion coming up next year, I guess he started looking up all his old high school pals. I agreed to his request & since then, he leaves me comments & messages that are bizarre & downright creepy. Today was the last straw when he messaged me to tell me to look at his page. When I went to check it out, his entire page is plastered with my pics! Pictures of me from high school, from the yearbook, & the ones I have on my page. I am seriously creeped out. I have asked him to take down my pictures & am waiting to see if he does. Jeez. This is freaking crazy. It has pictures of me & some other girls that went to high school together along with a poll asking people to vote who's the sexiest? What a pathetic loser.

wtf. Tell him to delete that shit, or kill him. I don't know. That is crazy!

I've seen people create facebook pages for their stuffed animals.

BetteDavisEyes- that is very creepy and scary. It is one of my worst fears that the creep who stalked me in high school would find me online- whether through MySpace or another way- and that he would start harassing me again. Definitely block him.

I showed up to work today only to find out that they blocked myspace here at work!!

Re: Myspace?
 

I'm on it. so far, it's pretty cool.

I have a treat for you!!!!!!!

Go to this profile

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=75760752

Then add them to your friends list. After that, go to edit your top 8, and look in the upper left hand corner. You can have up to a Top 24! And the good news is that you can edit it just like when you edit your top 8, instead of that stupid program where you have to put in URLs and codes and whatever.

Wow, that is sketchy. I thought it was bad getting unwanted friend requests.

I have since blocked him though I have at least 1 request from him a day that I keep ignoring. I also received a very nasty message from him calling me a bitch for blocking him & other nonsense. He then made a reference to seeing me at the reunion next year. Damn freak. I'll take my husband & make him wear his cop uniform to keep this creep away from me. He's pretty scary. I've talked to other girls he friended who all say he's very creepy & he myspace stalks them too.

Yup, I am on my space
haven't had any probs so far

if i had pix on my space....i'm just going to make a new page. Or not.

Myspace users, REJOYCE!
YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO BE 14!!! It actually does work, too. I checked just to be sure.

<snipit from the only bulletin worth reading>

Myspace finally made an option to make your profile private - To be viewed only by friends - without having to set your age to 14! Just look in Account Settings-----> privacy settings
check the FRIENDS ONLY box.

Take yourself off 14 because I heard on the news that Myspace will be cracking down on people saying they are 14 and they are not due to pedophiles on here stating they are 14 to get into kids profiles that are 14......if you get caught your profile will be deleted.

MySpace.com, is trying to make it tougher for adults to communicate with younger people online. Wednesday, the company announced some new restrictions. Under the changes, MySpace.com users who are 18-years-old or over can no longer request to be on a 14 or 15-year-old's friends' list; unless they already know either the youth's e-mail address or full name.

Does anyone else get SPAM in their bulletins? I have friends/sisters/family members on my lists. For some reason I'll see "I got my FREE Xbox here! Holy S#&%!" posted by them. I don't click on them for fear that I'll open some JavaScript that will post unwanted bulletins under my name. Also getting a lot of bulletins from folks I know well that are just downright offensive. Then they'll post another bulletin saying "It wasn't me! I don't know who posted that."

Is it possible that my friends have had their profiles hacked into? Or is it something in their code that is doing this?

It just seems weird that there is this sudden increase of crap.

This is exact reason why I don't click the links in those bulletins. Sometimes they'll automatically send odd bulletins. My friend posted a bulletin one day and it was a not so nice racial aim at a certain race, and I was thinking "WTF is she thinking"? (especially since she is dating an Asian man) Then I saw someone else post it and was like ohhh something must be going on.
