When ppl transitioned from My Space to Facebook I was baffled because facebook layout was soooooo wack but I guess ppl got tired of Myspace pages taking 80 years to load.
Lemme ping you :steviej:

Corny ass bullshyt shoulda just stayed in MySpace - they fukked up when they let us over customize our profiles

Nikkas would get adware and viruses and shyt just from opening up a page. Shyt would have your pc catching on fire :mjlol:

the internet becoming easily available to everyone just allowed for more dumb/fukk shyt...granted you didn’t need to be rich/a genius to own a computer and know how to get online but I still think it limited the internet to a certain “type” or “group” of ppl...once it became easier/less expensive to get online on your phone/mobile device with decent speeds that’s when the internet got more “stupid” for lack of a better choice of word...that being said you definitely had your share of dikkheads back then but even the way they trolled was different/unique compared to the corny/base shyt folks say/do for attention...been online for over 20 years now...crazy

There was an innocence then that was eroded, swiftly and surely, till we get to this place where we are now.

Stop and think back, people were generally much nicer - no rosetint, pure facts. It could be a reflection of the era or how what was originally viewed as a tool to reach out and connect with people across the world was twisted into a way of having people across the world pay attention to you.

One was giving and that never runs dry.
The other is taking and never has enough.

If you look closely I've just given you the key to happiness. Unlock yourself.

i always kept it basic, no music, no background, just black and simple. then they went and fukked it up and people started thinking they were web designers, glitter all over the place, soundtracks when you clicked on peeps pages. who remembers people being in peeps top 10 or was it top 5? i cant remember. but your bestfriends could be seen on your front page. folks would get mad if you replaced them :russ:

DAMN!!!! Zena Nadari

She's been around since Myspace, then just disappeared

:ohhh:

I was on another board, but my only connection to SOHH was doing some basic Photoshop work for one of the bloggers


The people you meet on Myspace

:sas1:

Damn, during that era i was a member or lurked on damn near every social media site. Myspace, Black Planet, Black Voices, Migente, ProveMyself, LocalHookupz, Rate Hispanics, Rate Desi, etc

I was able to clean my tracks masterfully. Can't even find my old pics :whew:


Also hooking up people's pages using Myspace toolbox. Chicks used to crash your browser with all that crap. Autoplay music, glitter & dollz..

I admit, having women put me in their top 5/10 did boost my ego

Send messages then take it to AIM or Yahoo trying to get on webcam

Deleting Tila Tequila & Somaya Reece spam

The advanced search was the best feature. TO THIS DAY. It was like a damn restaurant menu, you could pick age, nationality, income, zip code, location. I was able to find people in the same BUILDING i lived in at the time


I only wished it was around for me during high school :mjcry:
