Myspace Deleting Underage Profiles
Wednesday, May 10, 2006 · 9 Comments
This is a post I've been meaning to make for a while now.
In case you didn't hear this gem about Myspace deleting Underage profiles, It apparantly doesnt just apply to the youngins. Anyone who lies about their profile gets their profile deleted.
There is this kid Nick, who is a friend of Bern's family, who is one of those annoying kids that just bug the crap out of you. So one day I noticed his Myspace profile age was set as 22 years old. So as a joke, i reported him. Within a week, he got the following E-mail.
Subject: MySpace Account Cancellation
Hello,Please note that you do not meet the required age limit as per MySpace.com's Terms of Service, or you have misrepresented your
age on the MySpace.com system.
We deleted your account because you have violated the Terms of Service.
Do not create another account on MySpace.com until you reach the required age, or use the correct age on your profile if you are old enough to have an account.If you meet our required age limit, please sign up with your correct age.
Thank you,
MySpace
And as a reward, i got this E-mail about a week later.
Hello,
Thank you for reporting this profile. The profile in question is
scheduled to be deleted.Thank you,
MySpace.com
Now isn't a little unfair that the first step is account deletion. It even states in that first E-mail, that the account age could have been entered in-correctly. So what if someone does accidently enter the wrong age, and they eventually get caught. It's a bit unfair that they delete the account first thing IMHO. At the very least, there should be a stern warning E-mail before the deletion step. Myspace has once again, become a giant douche bag.
As long as we are talking about Myspace, go download the Brand New MyspaceIM that you will never use. And go buy the Myspace phone, so you can send out brainless bulletins while you are AFK.
I should just go back to boycotting Myspace, the whole thing makes no sense.

Bamboozle 2006 + Spring Semester Recap + Some Blog Update
Tuesday, May 9, 2006 · 3 Comments
Well Bamboozle 2006 was this weekend. This was the first year they switched to an outdoor venue, due to the sheer size of the crowd there. I was always quite fond of Asbury Park, not only because of its historical and nostalgic feeling, but because it was on the beach, and we could get Nelly's pizza afterwards 
Saturday was nuts. Saw most of the bands on our list. At Armor for Sleep though, some girl fell down in the pit, and it looked like she was having a seizure. The Medical tents were getting alot of action this weekend. Then Fall Out Boy was packed because everyone who came that day pretty much came just for them. If you look at the pictures, they are small and blurry because it was dark, and we were a Long ways away from the stage.
Sunday, Mike and Danielle came with us, so we could each go to bands we wanted to see. The guy from Emanuel had strep throat so that was kind of dissapointing. At Underoath, the crowd was fucking nuts. The pits kept forming, and the crowd surfers kept comming. One hit me directly in the back of the head, and sent my hat flying. And some stupid girl picked it up and threw it, because Throwing stuff IS SOOOOO COOL. Anyways, i spent the rest of the set watching it being thrown around until the end when i found it on the ground amoungst ripped up posters and other crap.
Method Man got an awesome crowd response. I stuck around for a while before Mike and I went to see a band he wanted to see, Fall of Troy. Then VAN STONE!!!!! BEst preformance of all weekend hands down!! THey are an 80's Metal Revival / Theatric Joke Band. Meaning they like to use props during their songs, and make the whole things funny. I ordered the CD yesterday morning off of their website, so I can give it out once it gets here. In the meantime, check out their Myspace, or their Website.
Panic! At the Disco was a little dissapointing for me. I have always loved their CD, But their live perfomance and their CD performance were very different just because the CD version is so post produced. Maybe I was just expecting too much, or I didn't stick around long enough. H.I.M. Was also dissapointing. The guy just stood there and sung, and didn't move around at all. I was also dissapointed that he was wearing a suit and tie, because if you are familiar with his videos and CD covers, he usually doesn't.
A.F.I. and Taking Back Sunday closed the night, and they were Awesome! Mike was dissapointed that A.F.I. Played mostly only their latest CD, but I didn't mind. Then Taking Back Sunday was amazing. Then one kid from the audiance climed the Parking Sector lamp post thing that lets you know where you park. He got so far up, i was sure he was just going to stay there and make the Fire Dept. get him down. But he got down ok, only to be arrested lol.
A great weekend. Check the Pictures.
As for the end of the semester, I was officially finished Yesterday. But I stil have one more shift to work tonight, and then I can pack up and move out. We leave for Orlando on thursday, so i have a day to relax and chill out. I will probably spend it going to the mall anyways, because I need new shoes, but i didnt want to get them before Bamboozle lol.
And a quick blog update, I added a module for My Bloglines Blog Clips. So now you can check out the stories that I find interesting. ALso if you haven't noticed yet, My URL is a direct link to the About Me page. I figure that it would be nicer to have a kind of cover page for people who stumble across my URL on Myspace or Facebook and such. If you want a direct link to the blog, you can find it here. RSS feeds shouldn't be affected.
