Man, you made a lot of good, heartfelt, reasonable comments, but frankly, you need to brush up on your grammar and spelling. You simply embarrass yourself to add such commentary without regard for proper speech. For example, "there" is NOT "their"..... "then" is NOT "than" ... I won't even GO into your poor use of the English language and punctuation.

I would LOVE to delete my MYSPACE accounts! The damn thing has no "account settings", or anything else to do this, when I'm logged in and click "HOME" - nothing shows up at all when I click on it. I also cannot delete my picture. I've written to them and they just tell me to use the "account settings", which for some reason does not exist on my account.
Extremely frustrating.

Hell, if I had a MySpace page, I'd be deleting it too. In the end, if it works for you, super. But for those who does not, they should be able to delete it without complications. I love the movement idea.

I think all the more reason not to use myspace or facebook and just have a blogg you can still keep in full contact with your friends that way...

I tried deleting my account three times in the past month. First I tried because of their affiliation with newscorp, but after i received no confirmation letter to actually delete the thing, I started getting pissed. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, checked my spam folder, and sure enough, no letter of confirmation. So I tried again. This time voicing my concern about privacy rights, no confirmation letter came. I then attempted to cancel again and threatened legal action, still know response. At this point I was really pissed. I started posting anti-myspace posts on my account and convinced many people to delete their accounts through my posts. Finally, I got so fed up I sent this letter to the Admin department:

"I have requested to delete my account three times and have received no email confirmation to finish the deletion. I do not want this account anymore. Originally it was because I found out your connection with Newscorp, but now I feel like you are violating my privacy. This "feeling" intensifies every time I ask to delete my account and each time to no avail. In my last request I threatened legal action, and evidently that does not bother you people. I am giving you one last chance to remove my account from your website and services, otherwise I will be contacting a lawyer as well as my congressman and senators."

This got their attention, within 12 hours my account was deleted for "Violation of Terms of Service". I suppose that was a bit vindictive on their part instead of just admitting their mistake, but hey, I got what I wanted.

So here is the thing to remember people. They want to try and treat you like a number, like a piece of shit. But dont let it happen. Fortunately the threat of legal action and calling you congressman and senators -is- worth a damn. Dont think nothing can be done because you are only one voice. Many solitary voices have moved mountains in this countries history. Although I hardly moved a mountain, I got what I wanted and scarred them enough to get it done in 1/30th of the time it took them to acknowledge me. Threatening to use the legal system is one of our only avenues that the American people can use to let their voice be heard. So use it, and more power to anyone who deletes their account.

"that some hoax myspace account has caused a teenager to commit suicide."

Too bad this actually happen you dumb fnck.
It was on all kinds of news channels, INCLUDING The Today Show.

A mother of a teenager made a fake account and started harrassing a girl, leading to the girl's suicide.

So glad everyone has opted to go through the effort rather doing the obvious and NOT go back to the page. Period.. What's so hard about that? Pretentious nonsense.

you are smart indeed.

i have ad block plus and i have no idea what they mean... "'ads'? what are these 'ads'?"

i think most people are just lazy. (oops, did i say that?) as for using it, either use it or don't. but get over making it a big deal enough to complain about.

i hate facebook. i don't want vampire hugs. i don't want to plant anything in your garden, and last i checked you can't send anyone a drink in the 'internets'. i do have one though, for networking, and i (gasp) don't go around complaining and begging people to join me.

as for 'identity' stuff... there are VERY SIMPLE codes you can use to remove all your 'info'. parents should get more involved with what their kids do online. it doesn't take a genuis to figure that out.

simple solutions:
1. use firefox, and use ad-blocker.
i've never seen a stupid myspace ad. nada.

2. set privacy stuff on your profile. people can only ad me if they know my last name (or my email, which is a separate private email just for crap like that, i.e. they can't just 'guess' it.)

3. automatically delete msgs from anyone you don't know. if it's some old person you used to know and forgot, they'll resend it. otherwise, whatever.

4. only use it to converse with people who you know, and who actually know how to use it. i tend to avoid profile's i can't read.

for me, myspace has become a staple for keeping in touch with my international friends. it's not that hard to figure it out to your advantage.
