All of you know that I hate the MySpace. I'm not a fan of any of the social networking sites other than this one right here!
Anyway, the FFR MySpace page has been somewhat cursed since the beginning. I've mismanaged it, offended people who helped run it, it's essentially just been a disaster.
Personally, I do not believe it fills any purpose. We get NO new listeners from it. With the exception of Ghost, who I actively sought out. But getting her wasn't easy, I had to deal with a lot of negative return emails accusing me of spamming people when all I simply did was send them an email that said "I noticed on your profile that you like all kinds of music, you may enjoy our stations then, blah blah blah".
Literally, we have had probably no more than 50 new people come to our site from the MySpace page, and of them only one became a member.
We were getting a lot of bands submitting music for awhile, but that has completely died off, and quite frankly 99% of the stuff we got was just horrible.
So long story short. I want to shut down the FFR page and be done with MySpace once and for all.
If anyone disagrees with that decision and wants to run the page COMPLETELY independant of me (I want nothing to do with it anymore) let me know via a PM by tomorrow morning and we'll arrange to have the username and password turned over to you.
Otherwise it's dead.
I just have to believe we can come up with a better, more effective way to get some new listeners and forum members.
Meh, I'm indifferent to it. I'd like to shut my own MySpace page down, but then there's some people I'd alienate if I did that, and the whole reason I got it was to stay more connected.
My own personal social networking craze has died down. The whole reason I liked them was so I could know what's going on in my friend's lives and easily message them, but most of my friend's pages are as stagnant as mine is. I wish all my friends would get blogs instead.
Blog, Twitter, Email, FFR, Skype. That's really all I need. Oh, and I guess a phone too, although I despise it.

You know, I've never wanted to do a blog myself, because I truly think "why would anybody care what I'm thinking". I mean that seriously.
But I have to say, I really enjoyed reading the blogs on MySpace of all my friends. Even if it's just day to day stuff. In fact those are some of the best.
I still read yours now and then. I have to admit, it's not every day. But then, a lot of times when I do read it I'll catch up on ones I missed.
Maybe at some point I'll join the blogosphere after all. I definately find it more intriguing than MySpace.
Rank your friends, tag me!, you're my pet. I just feel too much like a 13 year old school girl
I have a mySpace but only because I wanted to check on my son's page whenever I felt like it. No pictures. No rankings. Nothing. I have 3 friends: My 2 kids & Tom (or whatever the automatic friend dude's name is).
That's just the thing too! People get offended. You shut it down then suddenly everyone you know is emailing and saying "what'd I do? Why'd you drop me as a friend? I told you'd I'd get you that money I owe you back to you by next week!"

I agree. I just like knowing what's going on in my friend's lives.
And I use Google Reader, so I don't have to visit a bunch of websites to read everyone's blog. It's just like reading email.
