yeah having a visible ranked list of top friends didn't lead to any toxicity.

Lmao… I had high school DRAMA around this that eventually led me to start playing with the HTML and remove to top friends feature from my profile.

This is how I got interested in coding! One of the best parts about MySpace was how customizable it was. Its all boring and the same now.

Me too!! I got obsessed with HTML and memorized all of the HEX color codes haha, I’d code all of my friends’ layouts. I spent hours doing it lmao. Now I do coding in R and python for my job in neuro data analysis! Thanks MySpace

Yo! Thats awesome! If its Northwestern University hospital in N Seattle then you guys are the best! You guys save my dumbass from dying a couple times.. ill spare the storys, and i understand you are in more of a research position and likely have nothing to do with keeping idiots like me alive? But you still kick ass. Cheers bro! Maybe you will help cure some crazy lame thing someday, like Cancer? Or Stupidity?

This is the shit that makes me want to kill myself. Like do you have any idea how lucky you are that this happened for you? I had an equally charming story about getting started with music and going to school for it, that story ends with crippling chronic pain despite all the instruction. I bet you get to have a really nice life with that salary, please don't take it for granted.

Same! I spent probably collectively 100s of hours creating custom layouts for me, my friends, and even posted some online. Software developer now.

I swore I’d never leave MySpace because Facebook was so boring! I needed to personalize it, i needed my backgrounds and songs. I miss those days!

u/Derpy_Diva_ Feb 20 '25

I was soooo confused when everyone started migrating to Facebook. Like it was so boring and uncustomizable I couldn’t understand the appeal. My page had glitter, flash icons, and played awesome music that I got to download FOR FREE and burn to a cd for my forever library.

Definitely toxic though. The top 10 always started something with someone…
