One of the hottest things on the planet.....MySpace. I have a page....the band's got a page....just about everyone I know that has a computer has one too..... But I've found it's ESPECIALLY unreliable. Often when I want to log on there's an error....or when I type a blog (of which mine tend to be lengthy) it disappears into oblivion. Can't complain too much I suppose....it's free. Extremely littered with ads....but free.
So that brings me to my point. While MySpace can be pretty fun....it's almost a souped up internet version of AOL....or even closer to the old eWorld that I used with my old Mac. While MySpace is more attractive on the surface than our 'old standard' ProBoards messageboard.....it's a whole shitload harder to use....navigate....and even post. And like I said before....often when you post....it's lost in space...never to be heard from again. This messageboard....and the old Loomis board....have been closed for maintenance and other reasons less than the frequent unavailability of our MySpace page.
It is my goal to bring back the popularity of THIS board....and if things continue to be as unreliable as they have been....cease using MySpace. If you have any suggestions for this board....or things you'd like to see.....let me know and I'll do my best to please everyone. Oh...and if you think I'm nuts for wanting to get rid of MySpace....you can tell me that too!!!!

Not a huge fan of MySpace. Don't have an account. Don't care to. Now that I'm done being a huge downer...

Yet another example....I'm NOT SO patiently waiting for the event invite I just spent 20 minutes creating to finish.....It's been at least 2 minutes already.
MySpace is pretty novel....and after thinking....I dunno if I want to 'lose the connectoin' per se......but I think that I might have to pass the buck to someone else to maintain it for the simple reason I don't want to have to put my fist through my computer screen.
OH LOOK....while I was typing this "Sorry....an unexpected error occured!"....imagine that.....FUCK!!!!

MySpace is okay but I think ultimately it will be a passing fad. I've already noticed people getting tired of posting 100 surveys every day. And it is certainly becoming more and more commercialized, although I'm sure it's necessary to keep the servers running for a few million users. Personally I like the board and will continue to post useless crap, kind of like I do on MySpace. Hmm, maybe they aren't so different after all!

back in 2003 till last year, it was great. its a neat way to keep in touch with old school mates, childhood friends, and even long-lost cousins. now, its laden with 13 yr olds and Ads and 'bands' and 'movies'... Tom sold out to big bad corporate comany for mucho dinero. and that's really when all the problems started.

I don't have a MySpace page. Dateline said the pedophiles will use it to get me.

We Should see if we can upload videos onto this message board. But one thing right now that would make it better here. If I could actually highlight, select and paste, on here. It is broken or something it won't let me highlight!!. Anyway..........................................................POST IT!!!!!!!!!!
