Paul Constant: “Holy shit, I have a Myspace account.”
Cienna Madrid: “You have a Myspace account? And you didn’t know about it?”
Paul Constant: “I just forgot about it, I guess.”
Cienna Madrid: “It’s like a time capsule.”

Word. Check to see if you have a Black Planet account while you’re at it! 🙂
I was a little sad to kill mine a while back. It was favorite interface of all the social networks so far, but it was essentially dead in the water. I wouldn’t be surprised if, years and years from now, we were able to browse a cached version of our old profiles for entertainment.
Surprised by the lack of baseball talk here on Slog.
I had a black planet account, me and my friends in high school would chat there all the time.
I also had a Friendster, a Gamefaqs and a Bolt account.
Oh, and Neopets.
Ah, Friendster. I killed that one after I started getting dozens of porn links from “girls who want to meet you” every day.
I had a diary, you know, with a lock? And paper? No?
Oh, hell, Canuck, I can pick that lock in a second with one of your bobby pins. Don’t, uh, ask me how I know that.
Shit, that reminds me. I have a fucking Myspace account!
Fnarf, I haven’t had a bobby pin since 1978, so good luck with that…nyah nyah…yer mama…sitting in a tree…
@4 I still have a Neopets account. Every few months I’ll be bored, feed my pets, and play some flash games.
Goodtimes!
This is why I never had a MySpace account. But you just reminded me I do have a post office box I’ve never looked in.
My daughter just set up an animaljam account. I can’t imagine how many obsolete social media accounts she’ll have by the time she’s my age.
Heh, my tribe.net account set up in 2003 is still active, but I’m fairly certain my Classmates.com account is even older than that; signed up probably 1999 or 2000.
I never had a friendster account but have a myspace and hardly ever used it. Hell, I still get emails from classmates.com.
@14, didn’t classmates.com get sued awhile back?
Some goon with the same name as me and pictures of closets full of guns and trashy naked women has a Myspace. I sometimes worry people might think it’s me.
I can’t wait to wax nostalgic about Facebook after it goes belly up (one year? two?).
@14, yes there was somesort of a suit (sp?) about them sending out emails that said someone was looking for you and if you want to find out who then fork over money. Well, no one was looking for them and the suckers who got suckered into the scam sued.
