Don't expect there to be anything there from back when you actually used it. They deleted all of your wall and private messages years ago.

Why would they do that? To alienate the few people who are still using the website for some reason?

I have mine in a zip file somewhere... They had an option to download it for a while.

Yea I think I have mine somewhere as well. I really hate they removed all that historical data though. They could have probably banked on a trickle of logins simply from people looking for the nostalgia.

I actually recently requested and received and export of my blog posts. So there is that at least...

The default friend account and one of the founders (Tom) is on Instagram these days travelling the world and sharing info on taking photos. Seems like a really friendly and genuine guy, and his travels and photos are very good:

Which reminds me of this particular (and funny) incident:

Why isn’t he on MySpace?

Because he cashed out and it's now more or less dead. Maybe he changed as a person, and customising the look of his social profile matters less to him at this age than the content that he posts?

Of course it does..
