My letter to the Myspace help team.

Dear Tech Guys,
I know that you are mad that your website has gone down the toliet, because lets be honest, last time using Myspace was cool the following was true:  I had an email account on msn.com, I used this address to secretly sign up for things, most of the time I was lying about being 18 and my screen name was OurLadyPeace08. Does MSN even still have email? Well, thats a moot point...anyways....

Since the days of MSN, I moved on to AOL, GMAIL, @ohio.edu and now @wyseadv. You can tell a lot about where you are in your life by your email. So I guess you can tell it has been quite some time since my Myspace days.

In this time span, I have tried multiple times to delete this account. However, the only way to cancel your account is by clicking a link sent to your email. Either you are trying to trap people on your site or you really just didn't think of allowing people to attach a new email address to their profile. I guess I could have tried a million different combination of bad words, family pets, numbers and ex-crushes to log-on to that msn account and retrieve that email...but naaww Ill pass thanks.

So I did the next best thing and removed everything from my profile and moved on. Well FINALLY you caught up with the times. On a whim the other day I check the site and voila I was able to attach a new email to my Myspace and get rid of this sucker once and for all. In the spirit of the times when Myspace was cool, I let out a little "BOOYAH."

Sadly though, that booyah was wasted. I think I went through the process where you sent me an email and I clicked a link to delete my account at least 7 times. I wasn't ever really sure where to go after that, but I figured that was enough. 

Until today, when you sent me a nice update email on whats new with Myspace.

Excuse me? How did I go from deleting my account to being excited about what new profile features you have to offer?

I hope Mark Zuckerburg buys you out and makes all of you program his latte machine.

Have a nice night.
