who's quitting their site and who's staying?

[iteenzone]

anyone?
i know tons of people are selling their sites and this is sort of a good time to sell before myspace swipes us all out.

so... anyone quitting or who's staying?

I don't think their going to get rid of us, they are just simply improving their user's experience like any other website does ;)

[iteenzone]

i hope not =(
making myspace content is fun haha
its a passion to me =D

[n3o]

but i think myspace resources site is getting less and less profitable :(

[iteenzone]

true, agreed
i just think everyone is loosing their business because of the number of layout sites out there think about it, we're all here but it's hard for us to earn good traffic because there is just TOO much layout sites out there its hetic ehh

[mawt]

i hope not =(

Which one of you would that be? I don't get why seven people can use one account :|

I won't be quitting, less competition. If you can't adapt to changes you might as well drop dead.

[Sugarlipz]

I'm staying through it all. MAYBE in the end, something good will come out of it. I would love it if alot of you guys closed your sites. My traffic has decreased TONS from a few months back. There are more sites than traffic and there is the problem. It is def less profitable now.

[iteenzone]

yes so i believe that people should add more to their site and not just the typical myspace content, such as a game site or idk LOL custom work? profilio site? idk haha try to be creative

[applebooty]

I'm staying! I considered selling my resource sites, but I love them too much. I enjoy it, whether it's majorly profitable or not!

[maybaby]

I'm staying
but my myspace sites has no layouts anyway :[ just glitters and random fag stuff

[spokenforxx]

I'm running it still :2guns:

[JordanSDMF]

I am coming back. I quit for a while, but I want to come back. I have been thinking about this for a while now though. I remember all of those websites, like ebaumsworld.com and addictinggames.com, and I know that I will be making a website like that soon as well. Myspace will have to keep the HTML or CSS additions to their website, or else people will just go to facebook. Everyone I know says they go on myspace only because they can customize everything.

And the truth is, if you make good graphics, you will get the profit and traffic in return.

I am determined to get myself a car by my birthday in like 6 months with the few websites I am opening.

[barcodeunit]

there is no point in keeping a resource site anymore.. once version 2.0 is released we're doomed. we will lose traffic immediately.

the world is over. its armaggedon for the myspace resource site owner.

pack your **** and leave.

run for your lives.

[Nora]

I'll quit.. the old profiles took a lot less time to customize and I'm done wasting time on a niche that's built around another company. I have plenty of other sites I enjoy working on that have nothing to do with Myspace.

[Connections]

why would you get rid of them,

just tweak your keywords..

if you target

"Green myspace layouts"

change it to Green pictures of nature and myspace layouts.

so people searching for "green pictures of nature" will still come to your site.

their will be myspace traffic for the next 20 years, people will all ways still search for stuff.

Haha, I love it.

[Sugarlipz]

barcodeunit, are you actually gonna close your sites? Or take a wait and see aproach?

[JordanSDMF]

What's this 2.0?
Someone please explain

[MKInfo]

This is an opportunity. If you can't see what it is then you are in the wrong game.
I would love it if everyone sold up/closed down.

[ituhitam]

run for your life :gunsmilie: ...............

[spaceboos]

LOL!!!!!!!!rofl

[Priya]

I am not gonna quit.:gunsmilie:

[iteenzone]

yeah hey guys,
even though myspace seems pretty bad right now i think it's still better to stay and make content for other sites I'm going to start with friendster & myspace cause who knows? profile v 2.0 will come out but in a while i mean A WHILE it might change and if myspace might see the traffic go down on myspace then they will consider going back to the classic myspace.

(i think the new myspace features has caused visitors to pack up and lead on the facebook)

[Nora]

It really surprises me how many people are talking about moving on to Friendster.. I know making Myspace resources can be fun but aren't there other ways you can get creative without having to depend on another website?
Sure, the new profiles will be a great way for newer sites to compete but think of how much trouble users would have to go through just to add the layouts and you won't even get a link back.. Also keep in mind that if Myspace gets rid of v1 profiles, users will probably stop searching for Myspace terms because most sites will be outdated..

[Enigmacsg]

If you go searching on myspace for people you will see many of them already using profile 2.0 so word is getting out strongly. I was impressed last night when I went searching.

So yeah, strong chance it will flood all over myspace.

[Nora]

Okay I know I just posted but I really need to say this:

WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SO SURE THAT THIS ISNT GOING TO AFFECT MYSPACE SITES?! ALL MEMBERS WERE WHINING ABOUT HOW MSPLINKS WOULD RUIN THEIR SITE AND THIS IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN MSPLINKS!!

Sorry for the capital letters, I just wanted to grab everyone's attention because you all seem so unconcerned over these changes and I don't get it. When I first saw that there was a profile 2.0, I seriously thought myspace site owners would become suicidal. :?

[JordanSDMF]

Yeah, I am officially starting my new website for myspace. I will begin to check out 2.0, and adapt to it. This is part of the business world, and we have to be prepared for 2.0, or if they go back one day.

THAT is why, I will focus mostly on graphics and other things more. And not only make layouts for Myspace, but Friendster, Hi5, Bebo, etc.

[sshjustkissme]

I'm not closing or quitting. :p I love my site. It has mostly glitters and graphics more than layouts anyway.

[Riseykins]

I'm staying. I'll just change my content!

[shariden]

staying.. umm i dont just have layouts on my sites anyways ;)

[barcodeunit]

it's all over.. face it.... we're doomed.

there is no reason to be optimistic. we're all ****ed.

Because no matter what myspace does users will always look for unique content that's just how it goes, part of the fun of having a myspace profile is making it unique from the rest, matching it with your personality etc...

All the new editor does is offer a tool to assist the user in doing this. :)

[Riseykins]

It's all a game. If you wanna win it, you can't quit! Haha.

Quitting is for losers! There is more to the internet than MySpace!

MySpace is **** for making money compared to some things 'cause so many people do it now.

[iteenzone]

i agreeeeeeee

[Graphic Addict]

i sold off SOME, but am still going to keep a few, and offer layouts and such. Theres MORE to MySpace than just myspace layouts.. theres also MORE than just 1 social networking site :smartass:

[WarBud]

I am not going anywhere. As long as sites keep moving toward social interaction, there will be a place for resource sites. What's good for MySpace, and all the other social sites, is good for us. Everything changes. It's called evolution. Adapt or die.

[barcodeunit]

i already packed one suitcase.

[xJennax]

I'm staying.

[John]

whoever even thought about leaving is a dumbass.

[whisperwow]

I agree. Business is business. MySpace 2.0 profiles will open up new opportunities for the web designers that are willing to put in the time to learn the new platform. Sure some people will leave, but that leaves more on the table for the rest of us.

[Incognito]

Im not going anywhere.
If my site is no good as a resource site i'll just change it to something else LOL

[jessidel]

I'm quitting everything and moving to Macedonia. Who's with me?! :clap:


I think this is just another 'the sky is falling' moment.. cool ya heels and wait it out. I also think it's important to diversify, tho.

Unless your site is a raging success and you're intelligently investing/saving your money, try another avenue or two.

I don't think there's any rule against working at McDonald's and owning thebestdamnresourcesiteintheworld.com ;)

[tw0]

I'm not going anywhere, I wont let myspace push me around :]

[nic]

STAYING.
although not much content atm, gone too far to go back now

[Ratty]

I don't think there's any rule against working at McDonald's and owning thebestdamnresourcesiteintheworld.com ;)

How did you find out I work as a fry cook at McDonalds :)?

[jessidel]

all really amazing, cool, awesome, wonderful, yellow, spongy beings begin as fry cooks.

but in all seriousness-- it's too early to panic. ;)

agreed :ninja:

things come and go.. ill ride it till the end

Nora, you're awesome. If you're not rich right now, you're going to be. I know it doesn't make sense, but just watch.

[shhh]

i think im staying throught not for the profit but for the fun of making the graphics lol

[brianchaos]

im staying, im actually opening a new site, and selling my old one, should make some good monayyy.

[fabulosity]

I`m not closing anything, everr.
I`ll just work to improve. =D

[nitro_deeuk]

I'm selling up, had enough v2 is gonna screw every single person over and eventuallly kill all traffic.


Not... :rolleyes:
