yah i dunno..
if i was some kid that developed myspace and saw half the tards that used it, i wouldnt really give two shits about it once it got to be worth that much.. id sell it... because really.. its myspace.. if it was some amazing website/forum that made some sort of change or gave out some sort of great information or offered some sort of service and started out on on some great idea/opinion of my own i might want to keep it and cherish it.. but its myspace..

[slaughterette]

and you have to remember.. any of the people that use myspace would start using something else in a heartbeat if it got bigger n better because no one cares about tom. they wouldnt go "no, im staying with tom!".. they would just stop using myspace... and things like that can only get bigger and better, so if myspace doesnt continue to grow it will one day get beat out by something else and will just be like friendster..
just like livejournal was bought.. livjeournal has a lot of competition and if they dont continue to grow they will lose people.. and once that starts to happen its all downhill from there

with websites its very hard to go down and make a come back.. people can choose to just not go to the website and eventually they forget about it... it isnt like stores.. you arent forced to see it at least once in awhile..

*It's not so-much Tom himself, but the service I liked...And as for all of those "retards"...They can all go fuck themselves, as I don't give two fucking shits about them to begin with...

*I first-and formost ABHORE "big buisness" and their practices, ESPECIALLY when using MySpace as a place to whore their "wares" [READ: CHEAP CRAP WE DON'T NEED] and "packaged lifestyle choices" [READ: BRAINWASHING] to us, the "young consumers" [READ: "FOCUS GROUPS"]...

*So THIS is why I'm pissed...It's not like I "love" Tom or anything...I just thought he cared abit more for the welfare of the users, to whom made his blasted site "big" in the first place...

*"if it was some amazing website/forum that gave out some sort of great information or offered some sort of service"...

*Believe it or not, it did/does this for me...It keeps me in contact with ALOT of people I otherwise, for all intents and purposes, wouldn't have contact to...Which comes in handy for a bevy of reasons...

*Cheers.

[slaughterette]

my point exactly..
people care about myspace because it keeps them in contact with their friends.. so who cares if tom sells it

[forcefedglass]

Dude, I'd sell you, and your fucking mother for 580 million.

*Ah...Your fodder's mustache!!...

*Cheers.
