Is myspace really a place for friends anymore?

Hello All

After months of continuing problems with our myspace I have to ask, 'is myspace a place for friends anymore'?

I don't want to take the time to list all of the problems our page has been having the past few months, nor do I want to bore you.

I guess our problems stem from communication. If we had elected to ignore all of our fans & friends things would be fine, but by choosing to take the time to care and get to know so many of you we have been punished.

We have been put on probation more times then I can count for sending out to many messages and comments. Now it seems because of our total number of friends we can only get a select amount of comments a day.

On a daily basis we get over 100 hundred messages and comments combined. I try to take the time to answer all of them, but therein lies the problem.

Myspace will only allow you so many messages and comments a day. Once you exceed that you run the risk of their wrath. Who knew there were limits?

Myspace bills itself as place for friends to come and chat and get to know each other. To add other friends so they can be part of your network as well. The only problem is, don't get too many of those friends, or myspace will shut your page down for talking to them all.

It a lot of ways I prefer myspace to other social networking sites. Since we are a band it's easy to post music, pictures, blogs, etc on all one site. Not that you can't do the same thing elsewhere but myspace to me has always been the easiest.

What I really am most upset about is what all of this has done to you. Our friends, fans, and those who have just found us.

You tell us daily how you have tried to comment us or leave us a message only you weren't able to. You wonder sometimes why we don't comment you anymore or return your messages.

Trust me when I say I have been trying to return all of those and even more.

So I'm still left asking is myspace a place for friends anymore. I guess only time will tell. Until then I may have to look to a new venue where we can all come together.

Hang in there with us please. We hope one day all of this will work right again!
