I know, there is no integration between the two platforms. But why set an autosignature or keep the list in clipboard? Both is terribly inconvenient for such a stupid gig.
It’s not even 8:30 AM and the internet has already made me feel old. Brb gotta go take my medication for my back pain and queue up some techno on WinAmp.
It is nothing like its former self. Rupert Murdock did to MySpace what Elongated has done to Twitter, but at a much faster pace. Imagine if Muskrat bought Twitter and then deleted the user databases the next day, that's what happened with the $570M buyout of MySpace. It went from $570M to $30M in less than a year.

This is hilarious. God I miss how passive aggressive you could get with pictures with embedded links.

MySpace had a top 8 friends on everyone's page

And someone sets a copy of the list as an auto-signature? Or keep it in their clipboard??

this is someone manually doing it themselves as a joke to simulate the leaderboard on your myspace page.

Automatically would be a very sophisticated integration for 2007

Which is why I presume it was done manually

I'm disappointed I missed out on that but I did telnet into a bunch of stuff back in the day. It just wasn't much of a thing anymore.
I did enjoy connecting directly with my buddy over a landline to play Command and Conquer though, that's pretty old school.

My top 8 was always shit like Grimlock, Optimus Prime, etc. specifically to avoid this sort of thing.

If it's not a race for a royal pussy and becoming a king somewhere they can fuck right off.
Come on, this 8-friend scheme is really like the fairy tales of princes coming to the king to ask his daughter's hand.

Isn't myspace still running? Nothing is stopping you from forcing your friends to use that site
Edit: guess not, lol

It's mainly a music thing now.
The personalized pages and everything that made it so popular are long gone.

Myspace suffered a ton of data loss they didn't know happened till it was too late while moving cloud services. https://mashable.com/article/myspace-data-loss

Because you can't customize your own page anymore by copying and pasting spaghetti code from someone else's layout, so the fun is no longe there.
