MySpace is no good

As you may know, I have been trying to delete my MySpace account for quite some time, a few weeks to be exact. I say trying because I never seem to receive the cancellation confirmation e-mail. How convenient. I have no need for the blasted thing any more, I use Facebook. I have tried daily to get it cancelled. They say you may need to wait around forty-eight hours for the e-mail, but three weeks takes the Mickey. I have checked my spam folder, I have checked my e-mail address is correct and all that jazz, however nothing seems to work. I have tried contacting MySpace directly, of course I get no response.

I know MySpace want as many members as possible, but every member should have a right to remove their account whenever they wish. Restricting this will only cause more backlash. MySpace is a waste of web space, in my opinion. For a “professional” company, they sure do have crap mark-up. Their site is slow, poorly designed and their “service” is diabolical. Facebook isn’t exactly wonderful, but it is far better than the cesspit that is MySpace.

Maybe I ought to get myself banned from the horrid site, that way my account will be deleted. All I’d need to do is create an Atheist group since all Atheist/Agnostic groups have been removed in the past due to Fox’s owner being offended by them. Sounds like a plan. ;)

hahah, love your plan :P
I’ve never made my own Myspace profile before, because I don’t like the whole look of it, especially when I visit people with flashy profile and untidy mess of random glitters all over their pages o.o”
it makes me crazy! Facebook in the other hand, is very neat and well made :) but! Some people like to add 100 apps on their page and that’s annoying aswell :!:

Ah yes, the Facebook applications annoy me also. I don’t have any installed on my profile. :)

MY MySpace account profile is totally empty. I never used MySpace, but signed up so I could see someone else’s or something. It was so long ago. Anyway, I hate on sites when you can’t get your profile deleted. I never tried to delete mine, and if I had, I’d probably be in your position. Stupid skanky MySpace. :P

Sounds like a plan :P.

I guess something has changed, because when I deleted my Myspace, it all happened pretty easily. :o I have also deleted my Facebook account. And there I agree with you, deleting should be easier. :!:

That’s exactly why I never got into the MySpace phenomenon. I prefer Multiply now. :)

I love my Myspace :p . But…

A friend of mine deleted his two days ago. He got the email shortly after he requested for his page to be deleted. That’s weird that you never got yours :/
