You can be anyone you want to be on the internet. For example, I am really 5'10" with legs up to *here*, living the life of a single model in New York City.

Or not.

I'm scared to meet online friends in person because of all the bad things I've heard, but I've heard lots of good stories, too. So never say never I guess.

On another note, I know a few people, including one of my friends from high school, who met their spouses online first. No thanks!!!!! (No offense to anyone intended at all, I'm just saying that would not be for me).

I guess I'm a little bothered by the whole "friending" thing on MySpace, Facebook, etc. Maybe I just have an old-fashioned sense of the word, but I like to know a person-and have them know me-before I think of them as a friend. At least with the "friends" thing on yuku, I had some sense of who you all were before when it was ezboard.

I must say, though, all the people I've met from this message board (Molly, Cindi and Tom) have been just great!

Lots of people accept strangers as friends on myspace---adults and kids. It's a little creepy. There are other social networking sites too, like Facebook. Myspace is the only one I've ever really liked. At first it seems like fun to chat with these people, but it really gets old fast. Like chat rooms. Interesting at first, then it wears off. I learned my lesson. I've had good experiences with internet friends and not so good ones. I have some really cool online buddies...

I have a myspace and I never had any problems. My profile is set to private and no one has ever bothered me. I would never be stupid enough to accept someone I don't know as a friend. Not only might they be a weirdo but you never know where a virus is lurking either. Just like everything else, you need to use common sense. I can see how some young people may be in danger though. When you're young you think you're invincible and nothing will ever happen to you. Did anyone...

Upon getting a consensus from Monkeeland staff, a decision was made to remove the link to the France Chroley myspage page mentioned above. While we have no idea wether the information about him is true, with ML being a family-friendly site, we don't want to advertise anywhere that somebody of a deviant nature may be accessible. Thanks for your understanding.

Yeah, you just don't approve them/deny their request. That's what I do when I see a profile I don't like.

Btw, I didn't look at that profile because I was afraid of what I might see.

feeds@yuku.com (rvm67) — Sun, 04 May 2008 15:09:59 GMT

You are right. And what I have found is that a person has the ability to edit most everything on myspace. You can delete someone you don't know who wants to friend you.
And that takes care of that!

I don't care much for MySpace, kinda clunky to navigate: I only go there to look up some bands I am not familiar with or even ones I like a lot. As with anything, people need to be careful what they post online whereever, especially Social Networking websites like facebook, myspace, etc.

I just generally read through the board to keep updated.

Rachael! I haven't seen you in a long time. How are you? We've missed you!

Yep that's right, one can set the profile to private.
Somewhere on Monkeeland is a thread pertaining to myspace accounts, that several of us have posted on....I think it was about a year ago or something......can anyone find it?

I like myspace when I'm not receiving friend requests or messages from weirdos, which happens now and then, or getting into arguments with people I don't even know, which happened twice with the same person. (This guy got mad at me and a few other people on his friends list for adding someone he didn't like to our lists. I ended up deleting both of them from my friend list. Too weird.) Sometimes it reminds me of school, in some ways. People ask to be your "friend",...

Hey Sara,

I'm not a My-Spacer, but I do think of you as a friend!

(I don't know if this would be the right fourm or not, but if it's not it can be moved to another area)

I know I don't say much on here.. but, I just got a myspace account going the other night - and I don't have any friends on it yet (just one) (I don't have that many friends at all ). If you want my myspace to add me (and I'll add you back) as a friend, PM me and I'll send it to...
