Myspace clean ups

[fryman]

Damn, Myspace has been pretty busy deleting hundreds of profiles all over the place. I manage to add about 500 new people each day, and when I wake up the next day I notice that at least 450 have been deleted.

This sucks

[Drew]

In that case the 450 that are deleted are not the people you want as friends.

[fryman]

Yeah... agreed... but it sucks having to start all over again. Will take ages to build a decent amount of people

[Cyclops]

I don't understand this.......I'm adding friends and don't recall any being removed from any of my accounts.
If the people have been accepted as friends Myspace doesn't remove them from your account. The only way is for the friends to remove themself ?????.
However I can't imagine that many people doing that...

[Drew]

I took it to mean their accounts were deleted.

[fryman]

Yeah, they get their accounts deleted for some reason

[Cyclops]

500 people add Fryman as a friend...then the next day 450 of them have their accounts deleted :? .

Thats whacko :s

[fryman]

2:50 am.
Account has 5463 friends.

I will post the amount of friends I have tomorrow in the morning when I wake up... lets see if this crazy thing has stopped

Does your pofile look like a real profile (or at least "business" site)? it could just be a lot of people are deleting you after seeing your profile maybe?

I know when I have joined trains in the past, a percentage of those that added from the train would then delete for whatever reason lol.

[Cyclops]

If it looks like a business site I can sort of understand it but thats a huge number to drop off whatever the reason.
I have a profile on one of my accounts, the rest I couldn't be bothered...the end result is the same, I still have an approval rate well in excess of 50%.

One thing I have done is to theme my accounts, I pick a photo of say a Surfer riding a good wave....than I use the search Google function for the term Surf, from the friends I receive from that I pick a nice looking girl in the first position then people that look like Surfers for the other 23 top friends.
I then move on to a group related to Surf and start to go through the friends in that group.
I think keeping the top friends natural looking is the key, a mixture of males and females, if it's a boys profile not too many girls in the top though and none that look like models or porn stars. Just keep it real.

[fryman]

It is a real profile.

Friends now are at 5459. Oh werll, I only lost 4, that's something I can live with.
