International Delete Your Myspace Account Day
Last week I mentioned on my site that today is International Delete Your Myspace Account Day.

Today I have had two people contact me telling me that they deleted their myspace accounts and to not forget that today is the day.
Should I feel guilty that people deleted their account when I had no intention on deleting mine?

Tsk Dan. Tsk, tsk.
No, seriously though, it’s OK.
Yes Dan you should, but you are so shameless.
Nah… you were just passing along information to anyone who might be interested.
Why did they have a delete your MySpace day??
Oh man, I forgot. Maybe later….
Guilty? No, you’re not the organizer.
Well, a sucker is born every minute, or at least this is what some would say. You could at least start up a new My Space account and then delete it, just to play along.
I deleted mine long ago.
Guilt is in the eye of the beholder. Or something.
I vote no.
No. You never claimed you would. You simply broadcasted what was news. That the 30th was delete your Myspace day. Unless I’m wrong and you did claim you would, then that’s slightly wrong. But regardless, it isn’t a huge deal.
As for me, I deleted my last year. Xanga is so much better. I prefer writing and reading other’s blogs to looking at random pictures of silly people and worrying that someone will get offended bc i left them out of my Top 8.
Psh, no.
If you want to keep it, then do. You’re not obligated just because there’s a “day” for it.
Why, did you create the day as a social experiment? Did you coerce people into doing it? Do you feel guilty because you think they did it to please you, or something?
You vile puppetmaster.
NOPE…. thanks for reminding me. i’m going to delete mine right now.
Uh, no. I don’t think so? But maybe.
I wonder if anyone would mad to created a delete your Xanga day (hopefully it will be a day which does not existed like february 30th, march 32th etc
i don’t know where to go to delete mine. damn…
No, you just posted it on this blog, you never mentioned that you were taking yours down.
No, I had no intention of deleting mine… If it was international jump-off-a-bridge-day-because-all-your-friends-are-doing-it, would you do it too?
no. i didn’t delete mine either. myspace can be fun. xanga is way better but unless you feel the same way about it that kid who was organizing the whole thing did there’s really no reaon to delete it.
OMG YOU HYPROCRITE
@phil_leafman -
What?
Haha, who knows… It was pretty expensive.
No. I kept my site, but rarely use it. I have a few high school friends who only have a MySpace and I don’t want to lose touch with them.
No one really cares
No…I just banned someone, I feel happier than ever!
@EisforEDMUND - Hey Ed, I believe you go into Account Settings and then you see ‘Cancel My Account’ If I’m not mistaken. Good luck!
@JimiRy -
Because it is delete your International Myspace today
I wondered if anyone would created a day where we got to delete our Xanga accounts - The reason why I suggested these dates because it will be impossibly to have a day like this
Really Dan! I can’t believe you.
No, I wouldn’t. You never actually said you were going to and even then, they needn’t be such conformist monkey-dos.
It is up to you Dan whether you delete yours and if you feel guilty or not
Yes, definitely!
@JimiRy - What what?
@soggy_fries - i like yo style
@phil_leafman - haha march 32nd… awesome!
eep! I forgot to delete mine…
oh well
No – of course not! (unless you promised to delete yours, too!)
I won’t hold you responsible if you don’t expect me to actually delete my MySpace.
I deleted mine. I’ve never been happier.
*gasp*
not really.. their choice.
If they did it because of you – than Dan YES !
oh all the things to feel guilty for….
It was their decision– If they deleted theirs only because you were then, well, they need to learn to be their own person-
:] Not at all. You should laugh at them for doing what you said without question.
yes.. yes you should..
No. Your a grown up and can make your own decisions. You just informed us of the day, you never said you were going to delete your my space account.
No, that would just be dumb for you to feel guilty.
HAhaahha you’re a loser.
I think that anybody that does something just because someone else does it … is .. well I wouldnt do it ..
Do you like myspace?
YES!!! what a Troll you are!!! haha
I deleted mine today. All thanks to you Dan!
yes
I’ve gotta say, I just really don’t care. Why I even commented on this I have know clue. Just got in from doing inspections all day and commented cuz I could I guess!
*oops…I deleted mine a long time ago**..Way ahead of time..but then I started a new one..Sorry doesn’t count LOL…
Hugs.
Mely
My question is, how many of them will created a new account in the next few days after realizing that they can’t live without Myspace?
Yeah dammit.
@Single4Eternally - If someone can’t live without MySpace, something like “praying for their souls” might be in order
What’s up with deleting myspace? I don’t get it.
You have done the right thing. At least it’s funny!
yes yes you should
No.
p.s. I wish you’d stop with the sad stories about children, Dan. That picture of that poor little boy who was attacked by the dog makes me sad because he’s such a cutie stuck with a mom who is too stupid to understand the nature of dogs & the innocence of children. & the story about the lady who microwaved her baby.. just makes me sick.
No…it’s your myspace. Do what you want
Feel guilty for something more useful
YES. And I think as reparation you should create another account and delete it (along with deleting your current one).
@john - Haha. Thanks yo.
I forgot to delete my myspace account. Guess I’ll get around to doing it next year.
Right now myspace is the only way I can keep track of one of my friends, so I had no intention of deleting mine,lol. The ones that did delete theres maybe belong there.
What a weird holiday. Luckily I don’t have a Myspace account.
Hahaha! That is hilarious! No you should not feel bad if they were naive enough to believe you and to do it.
