myspace. its like watching tv with a lot of static.

I've never joined, although I have had occasion to follow links the site. Seems like an awful (pun intended) lot of people trying to call a lot of undeserved attention to themselves with myopic and hardly important differences they have from everyone else on the same website.

Some people like the contacts and community, but a larger majority are just addicted to the constant validations and inspections.

Not everyone, and certainly there are some people who realize its all just code in a server somewhere, not an actual "place", but it is like tv with static, where the static is filthy haired emos clamoring for your attention. You can have it.

edit: I quit SSM a few years ago because the guestbooks and chat were the same thing, idiots saying "tag me back" or "drive-bys arent cool" or "check out my ride". Myspace seems to absorbed most of those people from SSM, for which I am thankful. Either that or they just dont bother me that much any longer.

And I am not judging anyone, I would have to have the same addiction for my opinion to be counted as anything important, do what you like!

well i for one am not a ssm addict- I Don't even get on there - it lags my computer so damn much cause im on dial up. There for i don't use the Chat feature. and i don't spend hours hitting every profile saying tag me back- or you just been tagged -biaotch . Non of that- thats childish i.m.o If you can't leave a structural comment to the persons ride then you shouldn't post period.


AS for my space -

I beg to differ about reasons why ppl go there- I admitt i don't go there at all sense i signed up - IF You look at my comments board i have less then 5 ppl who posted to my profile. DO I care? no if they do they do they don't they don't . I am not a myspace addict either as i said i rarely get on there - i don't frequent the message board sections i glance thru the groups (automotive) and then i leave - i don't make a all day adventure about it .


I'M starting to get to a point where im starting to fade away from message boards - I used to be checking boards like every 10mins cause i had nothing better to do - i even hit the same ones back after going to a different one . In the last year i think i've scaled down my message board posting and frequenting of boards .


I totally left/ rarely go to :
Minitruckzone - haven't been there over a year
STW (sporttruckworld.com) no one posts anymore been almost a year.
DTW (dodgetruckworld.com) never go there any more-
mobile autoworld.com ( sister site to sporttruckworld.) NOBODY Posts on that site anymore.
ssm - rarely go there anymor-e i visited it yesterday for the first time in 6 months or more
dropndrag.com ---- as of yesterday was my home away from home -but as of now more like i won't be there i think anymore.
customtruckforum - I used to sit on that site like crazy when it first came out - last i was there was like 1yr ago or so .


I PROBABLY HAVE A BUNCH MORE but my point gets across. I find im starting to loose interest in internet i think . I Remember when we got our first computer i sat up a week straight with that thing It was my first time on the net - and it was awesome - now that im older - im finding i don't have much of anything really to look at . Hell i DON'T even get email - wtf - Not that i mind - but its nice to know if someone wants to send ya a message they can and it gets there fast . I Dunno - im running out of ideas.


maybe i'll fall deep into tv again maybe spend 1-2 hrs on the net then off to watch tv . oh well.

how is that begging to differ on why people go there? lol.

You are just like me it sounds like. All this school, frick, half my day is writing reports and other submissions. I just leave SSM or lately mbs open in the background and take a break every once in a while. But when school is out, usually I hardly log on anywhere.

I also agree with you about the interent getting boring, I think I'll take a break.

Heres something to think about - internet is just like porn - it gets old .LOL . Cause when you first discover it your lookin at it as much as you can ..same thing with interest when u first got your own computer and internet service.. am i right or wrong? lol .
