If I was them I would hope that the same thing doesn’t happen to them as it did with people leaving friendster to myspace  I am one of those people who received the “Invalid Friend ID. This user has either cancelled their membership, or their account has been deleted.” message. I have written to customer support but have not received any response as of yet. If I have to reconstruct my entire profile, I may as well find a better site to do so.  […] In MySpace Written By Om MalikSince this morning, we have been noticing increased comment activity on our previous post about MySpace outage. It seems a lot of people are having trouble with the service, and accounts are being deleted. I would have ignored this trend for a wee bit longer, but Mashable is finding similar comments, so this is a bigger problem. The story has been dugg already! […]  Just another reason why I refuse to use MySpace. Facebook and all the other products out there are far superior.  I am also one of the people who has had their account deleted. Between the Flash 9 issue and now this, I’m pretty much done with MySpace.  Now maybe these losers will go outside and talk to real people. MySpace is a joke and a pathetic vomitous trend.  On what basis to you gauge that Tagworld and the others are more reliable? They have nowhere near the traffic of Myspace, right? So we don’t know yet. I doubt this is going to cause a huge backlash at Myspace. The broken-down ugly and practically unusable site just keeps getting stronger.  I don’ have hard evidence, but I use both Tagword and Myspace. I’ve personally found the site is frequently unavailable, or portions of the site are unavailble. If the site isn’t completely down, then it is very slow and unresponsive.  I haven’t seen the same with Tagword. I will acknowledge that MySpace is much bigger than TagWorld, so their scaling requirements aren’t as high.  To me, the big story is why is one of the world’s biggest sites, backed by a very large company with plenty of resources (cash), not able to run in a reliable way?  I’m a member of myspace and from what I’ve learned of it it needs something better what that is I don’t know but I don’t have a problem with myspace and it’s actually a cool place to meet up with old friends from what I’ve found on the site so far. And just to clear up something people on myspace are not all losers and pathetic because they choose to use it for a way to meet people when obviously there’s nothing better for them to do. There’s also tons of bands that use myspace to to promote themselves does that mean the members of these bands are losers too? Does that mean Kevin Smith is a loser? For those of you that say that myspace is a waste why don’t you try it out first? I used to say the same things you did until I actually started using it myself.  myspace is down again…this is getting to be a bit much.  Mine has been down all day. It started by saying my password was wrong when I tried to log in. Then later on it said that I had too many failed attempts and I had to insert the anti-spam numbers/letters, but there were none. Then about several hours ago, it showed the numbers and letters, but said that I had inserted the wrong one.  I assumed that it there was a problem with MySpace, but I was surprised that there was only several instances of chatter about it online. Wikipedia mentions it, and then I found this. Perhaps some of the MySpace folks have forgotten that there are other places to visit. But I should not talk.  This could be more of a crisis than bird flu.  My Myspace is STILL screwed up. I had the invalid password/account deleted problems last week. Then Friday, everything seemed ok, until I tried to leave comments. No can do. Been 4 days now. Each time I try, it says I’ve exceeded my daily usage.  Some have suggested it’s something with my computer. Nope. I have several other MS accounts & I’ve been able to post comments from them with no problem.  exceeded daily useage? i’ve never seen a message like that, ever.  I love myspace! I can say that Im very upset with all the problems they’ve been having , I do understand that power was lost in California, but that was about a week ago and the site is down now. I’m a model that has booked several gigs from using myspace. I think its a great place to network!! Because unlike most sites their most likely to “really” have the actual celebrity using that page. So I’ve met a lot of people from the site. I’ll stick with Tom for a little while longer…..  this sucks, i’ve had that problems twice this week, but now my comments aren’t showing up on my friends pages, has anyone else had this problem? :/  I know myspace is a huge site with millions of hits a day but come on you are a huge website you should have the tech support to fix everything quickly. My account has been “deleted” just like yours I hope it gets fixed thats for sure.  I’ve been down since last week. What I have noticed is that you can check your inbox for messages. That’s it and this sucks. If they are moving things around why couldn’t we get notice? Where is this new database center? Alaska? It’s been a week now.  I’m so glad (not to seem rude) that it’s not just me having this problem with Myspace. They’ve seemed to have deleted my account too. Has anyone heard when all their database hiccups are supposed to be done? The only reason I signed up is b/c my 10 yr class reunion info is on myspace. That’s how we’re all getting reacquainted…kind of cool. But now all my friends state my comments and profile have disappeared from their pages. Frustrating to say the least!  I can’t even get the www.myspace.com home page to load on ANY computer to even ATTEMPT to sign on to my profile page…but even if I could, I would assume with myspace’s track record I would be staring down the barrel of a “deleted profile” error screen. I feel like my dealer’s in jail! This is really starting to suck…anyone else having trouble loading the home page?  it’s said i’ve been deleted for the past 4 days, is anyone else having this problem?  I am new to myspace and alreday I am tired of how frequently the server is down. What is the deal? Honesty? I don’t know computer lingo….But I do know that myspace needs to better organize their network. This is getting to be ridiculous!  On the other hand, my frustration must only show how much I enjoy myspace when its up and running. I admit it, I am hooked  Come on myspace, improve your site so the world can continue to communicate!  A full week now for me…..  My sister woke me up one morning to tell me that my profile had disappeared from her page, as well as other family members pages… When I tried to logon, it said my username/password was invalid, and when I tried to visit, it said that the user had deleted/cancelled their account. Not sure if the “moving servers” response Tom gave is legitimate, or whether the account had been hacked. If I have to recreate my profile, I’m done with myspace… Myspace is becoming more work than its worth!  Has anyone out there had their account deleted and actually had it return as if it had never disappeared?  Today I received an e-mail saying that I have an e-mail that I need to access on myspace. However, when I tried to access the e-mail I was unable to find it on myspace and the persons space could no longer be accessed with a message saying that the person’s ID is no longer valid….. Invalid Friend ID. This user has either cancelled their membership, or their account has been deleted.  Please let me know if this a common problem, and if it is true that the person did delete his/her account, can I still retrieve the e-mail that was sent to me even if the account is deleted???  Is MySpace giving a timeframe of how long this “server” is going to be moving? I have e-mailed them 3 times over the past 2 weeks (that’s how long my account has been “missing”) and haven’t had a response! UGH!!  My friends keep asking where I’ve gone!!  With no real network status update, no real report on their datacenter migration situation, no updates, etc it is further evidence how unprofessional the site was originally developed and is currently maintained (or unmaintained). Very bad business model. But I’m sure there are companies watching to restructure the site. It may just be too late though, myspace users for the most part are not web-savvy (just taking a look at several unorganized messy coded/layout profile pages) and with their myspace pages being almost a daily necessity such as checking email, it would not surprise me if myspace users left to a more reliable social networking site. 2 weeks since the outage…how long will you wait?  I was deleted yesterday for absolutely no reason and I’ll definately move to somewhere more stable. I’m not going to take the chance of losing everything again!  […] In what’s probably an apt tribute to MySpace, the 100 millionth account doesn’t work - instead, it returns the familiar message “Invalid Friend ID. This user has either cancelled their membership, or their account has been deleted.” This is the same message that many users saw when their accounts were “deleted“. This was supposedly the result of the previous power outage (see MySpace Down), but if my blog comments are anything to go by, some users still can’t access there accounts. […]  I had something similar… I set up and account and you cant find me by my name zip code or school . The page is there but doesnt show under browse or search… I have written got no response. So I canceled that account and tried setting up another account witha different email and to no avail… Still not there.. So i dont exist LOL  It’s August 14th and my account has been deleted for the last 4 days. I even tried to sign up for a new one using the same email address, but it won’t let me. But when i request a forgotten password, it says no record of that email exists. And of course, when I use my myspace url, it says the account has been deleted, etc. When are these supposed to be restored?  myspace has really got me stressing……. because at first i thought i was the only one this was happening to because i did not hear anything abot myspace being down, i thought someone hacked my profile. and my story is pretty much the same as “china blue”.. . i signed on to myspace and it told me i had a invalid password or id, so then i tried to visit the page and it said invalid this used has eithered canceled there account, so i waited a couple of days to see if the promblem would persits or not i asked around and some of my friends were not experining the same promblem as me. but now i see its not just me! my myspace profile took way to much time to make i would hate to start all over again!and if thats the case maybe its not worth it but then again… maybe it is…
I'm getting multiple reports in the comments (30 so far) that MySpace is deleting user accounts today - users visiting ...
