What the fuck is up with Myspace?
 
Things like "oh wow, i still can't believe it... i'm getting an applephone! i can't wait to get it, you can go to this site at www.blah blah blah.com" and all those advertising comment on people's Myspaces. I know they aren't accounts set up for the purpose of advertising, but for some reason everyone keeps posting them. Do you get free stuff or something? Or is it some kind of virus? Anyway, for the record I hate myspace, but our band needed a website.

Hey, I really like your band. I've got a newfound respect for ya. (I know it was off topic, but I didn't really have anything related to say, and I figured you would except a compliment in it's place)

ZEROpumpkins 04.13.2007 09:36 PM

Oh, well thankyou very much!

You dang Aussies, what with your different time zones, and your kangaroos, and your large amphitheaters...

I've noticed that lately, in just the past month or so, any page that accepts pretty much anyone who requests to be added as a friend gets them, bands and celebrites pretty much all have them, it sucks.

yeh you its pretty annoying spam, if i happens to your account just change the password

ZEROpumpkins 04.14.2007 01:47 AM

By happen to your account do you mean if your account starts posting spam without your authorization?

From what I gathered from one of Tom's announcements, they do. They track down the spammers and file lawsuits against them. They try to clean everything up, but it is so hard because of the magnitude of internet that is Myspace.

yeh bassicly what i said but sounded more interesting :P

Anngella 04.14.2007 03:14 AM

I think there is a virus too that some people get and that happens.

king_buzzo 04.14.2007 03:22 AM

I like your band, zero.

pantophobia 04.14.2007 09:19 AM

there is one way of checking for hackers

go to your edit friends dealy on your page, and delete any one that says "account no longer exists" they are all hackers and spammers, the first time i heard of the method, i cleared out about 40 of them, may not stop the spamming, but atleast it can slow it down

ZEROpumpkins 04.15.2007 03:25 AM

I googled it and it said that they were accounts made to look like real people, but are just set up for spam. Also I read some expose that myspace was started by a corporation notorious for spam. Surprise me!

Zero your music is funky! I like it

ZEROpumpkins 04.15.2007 04:59 AM

Oh, thanks!
