TimR Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47610936 Whoops. How does that amount of data get deleted by accident? Is the data there but the database corrupt? Anyway, last time I used it I was on dialup. and I thought it was no longer used. I can’t log in as I’ve lost the use of the email I used about 5 years ago. Edited March 18, 2019 by TimR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acebassmusic Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Dear Mr / Mrs Myspace, I would like to apply for the senior position of IT Manager that has just become available. I am fully versed in the latest Spectrum and Commodore computing systems and have built my own Olivetti PC from parts. I believe that along with these skills and experience I have a novel concept to offer in the minimisation of business risk. I have named this philosophy and practical execution "Backup 101" and know that once I have explained the concept to you it will be embraced by yourselves with the possibility of selling it to other computer users. Best regards, Ivor Bacupavyoo 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsmokebass Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I miss MySpace. I stayed on until about 2010 before I switched to Facebook 🙄 I bet this now marks the death of the social media site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M@23 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) 'accidentally' losing data beats migrating millions of ropey old mp3 I guess. Edited March 18, 2019 by M@23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better change my user name before I start getting some of the blame 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) I saw a rumour that it was cheaper to 'lose the data' publically, than the cost of migrating them to a new platform. As someone who works in IT, I can actually believe this. Glad I backed up my old metal band MP3s into Google Drive...

TimR Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Yes. Quite a few comments there on the BBC website. Apparently Murdoch lost close on £500m on it when he sold it. I played around a bit with the styling (although it was a bit of a nightmare and weren’t many rescources about detailing what elements could be changed) and you could allegedly buy skins. Quite a clever concept for building a ‘standard webpage’ for musicians. I quite liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
