Do you have a MySpace account?
 

Trying to gage how many people around these parts partake this internet fad. Poll on the way.

For those that do, is it really as addictive as it's made out to be?

Yep, i do, started it about 4 or 5 months ago. Scott Free is my handle, just like here.

A while back i searched for a Chiefs page on it & found one made by a 39 year old male in KC... i tried to friends request, but the son of a bitch had blocked me from contacting him. Obviously a Planeteer, who can obviously kiss my ass.

Not for me. I check mine out 2 or so times a week. It's the kids that make big deal out of it. (or folks with no lives).

I got mine to find old friends. It works pretty good for that.

its just a good way to keep in touch with people that you don't see very often. I check it about as often as I do my email, usually twice a day, sometimes less.

Does anyone know of any Chiefs or Royals players on there?

CHENZ on MySpace

No. I use Facebook.

I have one for my film stuff. Not too addictive for me. Like rad, only check it a couple of times a week.

That site should be fuggen shut down.

I have an account but it is not addictive I just use it as another way to keep in touch with people. I live in a small town but I still have friends and family that live in the city. I don't see why so many people hate on it if you don't like don't use it there are millions of sites I don't like but I don't hate on them I just don't use them.

No, it's stupid.

I have both myspace and facebook. It is sort of addictive at first trying to find old lost friends, but after you've exhausted the names of those old friends, it gets boring.

Why?

For those who do not have a myspace account, THIS is what you are missing!

I tried it once, but i thought it was slow to load and the interface sucked. Ive heard the site goes down alot....

I have one. I rarely check it though. I use facebook alot more than I do MySpace.

MySpace you can customize alot. Facebook is now getting to be more like that.

But they are doing it in a structured way so you don't want to shoot yourself everytime you browse the site.

I have one, check it once a day myabe. I've found a lot of old friends that way as well!

It's an easy way to keep in touch with friends. Good news it is growing so there is more people.

Yup

The coolest thing about it to me, is all of the great new bands/artists that i've discovered. I have 'ran into' some old pals, but not very many, it seems to be mostly younger people that get into it.

Another cool thing is that some of your fave celebs will actually correspond with you, Fred Armisen from SNL always replys to my messages.

No. And the only reason I have a facebook is because I had to make one for a class I took.

No, I spend plenty of time here and don't have time for other shit like that ............

Like here I've met some good Chiefs fans that I now call friends.I go to the forums now and then,movies and especially the rock music forum,there's a little group of younger guys over there that enjoy flaming newbies and go on a fishing expedition at every given opportunity and sometimes much hilarity is involved.


Other than that I use it for keeping in touch with a few people that I don't get to see very often.

I've used it as a medium to meet people whenever I move to a new city.

Yeah, i wasnt5 a big fan of it at first, but its not that bad. As other people say, you can keep in touch with alot of people that way.

I do, to find old friends. In the 10 months since it's been up I have reunited with 5 friends I haven't seen or spoken to in 15 years :)

I like it for that. I have seen some of the other Planeteers pages and well, all I can say is that I am not on myspace to pick up chicks, heh.

omg, now a thread so everyone can post their addies!

Yes. I'm tired of getting porn spams in the form of friend requests.

Oh, and I know someone who is facing jailtime for hooking up with a girl he thought was 15/16 over Myspace...

That is true, I was just referring to the new applications they have where you can listen to music, have a top friends list, that kinda thing.

totally agree

God no.

No. I've never figured out the appeal.

**** no.

I do, but I lost my password.

I see nothing wrong with the site. It's a great social networking site that helps people stay connected. About everybody nowadays has an account. I used to swear by it for picking up chicks, but now everybody has it so it's been diluted a little bit and theres alot of spam pages on there, so I don't use it for that purpose any longer.

People make a big deal out of myspace, but facebook is 10 times worse. People can "tag" pictures of you and it automatically goes on ur shit. Think if you were Michael Vick how this would suck. Someone "tags" a picture of you at a dog fighting match, the world has now saw it. If you change anything on your profile, it goes on a mini feed thing so everybody can see it. When someone writes on ur wall, or friends you...it also goes on this mini feed thing. There are even alot more worse features, it is stalkerbook.

Any tag can be removed from your profile with one click.

This is a common argument but Facebook sets up all kinds of layers of security. If you dont use the security you are lazy. If you still don't like some parts of it then you shouldn't have anything to do with a social networking site.

I've got both myspace and facebook, but use each one moderately, at best.

Its a good way to keep in contact with people you don't keep up with, but I still don't find the need to be on it constantly looking at everyone's profiles to see what's new. Granted, I've got around 300 people on myspace, and when I first signed up it was fun to see who all was on there, but now its not that intriguing.


It is funny to be talking to girls at a bar and they ask if you have one or the other, and on a few instances I will have met a girl out and her randomly find me and contact me on there. However, I would never go searching on there and contact someone I didn't know- which when myspace started out was more of looking to hookup purpose from what I heard

I got mine about a year ago when all my buddies went to college after high school, so thats how i keep in contact with them.

I have MySpace, but I'm in the college age group that embraces it and Facebook. Alot of problems with MySpace is alot of people dont know anything about HTML which makes their pages look like crap.

No, its to easy for chicks I banged and never called back to find me. I like it here where nobody knows me.

Yes, and I agree...

Glad I am missing out then.

Nope. Not yet anyway...

I rue the day I signed up on that accursed site.

I've got one, but I only have people that I've met in real life on my friend list. I can upload pics of my kids for my family members in other states too. Also, I have family/friends in the military and it's nice when they are stationed overseas to be able to keep in contact. I use Greasemonkey so I can eliminate some of the stupid crap on the site.

I clicked on that link in your signature.. some of the stuff on that site is rather amusing.

"instant absolution of sins - click here"

I was disappointed to find that it just took me to another page.

myspace is awesome you can personalize it a lot more than most sites!!!

At the bottom of that page is a text box where you are expected to explain your sin. You then can send it off to the ULC where it can be absolved. Or I can absolve you. I've been ordained. I'm an Agnostic Minister.

By the way, it is in my power to ordain GoChiefs as a Jedi Knight. I won't.

"When we realized the need for Forgiveness of Sin six years ago, the Internet was so new that we did not know if people would believe our sincerity or whether they would be suspicious of our intentions and not believe this could be done or that they were even worthy."

I really hope that wasn't written recently.

You answered your own question.


:D

I don't have one but I think I'm going to sign up.

My two teenage daughters have one and I'm guessing they're dying for Dad to be on their friends list.

What is this "myspace" you speak of?

Yeah, I'm sure they'd be thrilled about that. Then again, you may be onto something, perhaps my son would quit going there if I started hanging around there and embarrassing him.

"Do you have a MySpace account?"
 

No, and I don't want one.

Yours doesn't make me weep and gnash my teeth when I look at it, congratulations.

I know what you mean.

Thanks.

I don't have a need to share my life experiences with everyone on the Internet...

Hell no.

Yup, thats why you're hot.

i use it to keep in touch with friends i rarely see anymore. not really addictive, but kinda fun to fudge around with. handle is the same as my CP name.

ROFL

heh,I'll never forget seeing a message that Johnson wanted to be my friend and I'm thinking,"oh great a gay porn spam," only to open it to see this

I do but for getting connected with old friends and stuff.

From my point of view, the Jedi are evil.

Heh. Mr. Plow can't work the internets. Retart.

For those who might give a damn...www.myspace.com/scottefree

Not only no but HELL NO! :cuss:

I have a hard enough time keeping up with friends in town, I don't have time for that. Besides, what is wrong with e-mail or a phone call if you want to stay in touch with old friends?

Actually for me the main reason I have no interest is because there is no way I am letting my teenage boys on there and I am not going to say it is ok for me and not for them. I try my best to live my life the way I expect them to live theirs.

Just curious, all those who say they like it to find old friends and the like, did you ever pay for classmates.com? (No, I don't do that either, I like my semi-anonymity on-line).

I spent my life moving from town to town in my radio career and simply couldn't keep up. So yeah, I like that I have found some old friends.
You don't have to detail your entire life on a my space account dude, you are judging everyone by the examples of the freaks you've seen on that thing.
Speaking only for myself, I have little info about myself and I blog about the pet rescue I do and only keep 5 friends, that's it. Not everyone on there is an attention starved, narcissistic freak.

Aww, give him a break. All the tubes in the intraweb can be confusing.

How old are your boys? If they are in their later part of their teens then they should be fine on it.

15 and 12. The older one would probably handle himself ok, he has shown a decent amount of responsibility for his age. It is just easier this way though.

This is not really all that different from the fact that the only computers with internet access are located in the front room. I love and trust my boys but there is no reason to be bliind about it either. They will have plenty of time when they are 18+ to explore the more "dangerous" parts of the intraweb.

Just revamped mine.

Still a work in progress....

Nope, but me daughter does ... Back off pervs ..

Nope. I have no need to meet chicks on the internet, and I'm not a sexual predator, so I have no reason to have one.

no.
