Myspace is down?

[Janet]

I haven't been able to get on all day and last night too.

Anyone else?

[Miss Vicky]

I haven't had any problems logging in.

[HomerMcvie]

Last night, I could log onto SOME friends accounts. For others, I was denied(said it was doing maintenance).

[Janet]

It won't let me in at all. Not since last night. I have tried numerous times.

That's really weird.

I had the problem last night, but today has been ok. I was so pissed last night too because I had a new friend to add! :lol:

[WelshWitchPMD]

Just checked mine and there is a message about a power failure in LA that caused all of the problems. They are in the process of fixing everything now.

MySpace code sucks. When the site works I love it. They really need to rebuild it though. It needs a complete overhaul.

I thought the power outage excuse was dubious because public sites always have backup power. Apparently MySpace had an ad that was putting spyware on user's computers. This may be the real reason for the shut down which is still in place!

MySpace closed after power outage

MySpace, the world's most popular social networking website, has been shut down after a power outage. Visitors to the website are greeted with a game of Pacman and a message saying the service hoped to be back up and running by 0400 PST (1200 BST).

An earlier message on the website said it was "undergoing maintenance" and pledged to be back within the hour.

MySpace, which lets users create a personalised homepage, has more than two million visitors each month.

There was no indication on the website as to what had caused the power outage at the data centre for the service.

A MySpace spokesman told BBC News: "The data centre that MySpace and other companies use to host their sites has suffered from a power failure.

"Its engineers are working to solve the problem, and we hope it will soon be up and running again. In the meantime we apologise to our users for any inconvenience caused."

The website was bought by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp for $580m last July after it proved to be a huge success with youth audiences online.

The closure of the service, albeit temporarily, will be a blow for News Corp and MySpace in such a competitive environment.

Bebo, one of MySpace's keenest rivals, has been catching MySpace in terms of audience numbers in recent months.

A number of MySpace users have posted comments on other blogging services - such as Live Journal and Wordpress - about the temporary closure of the site.

Vanessa Evans, sales and marketing manager at internet infrastructure firm Linx, said companies typically took steps to ensure a power outage would not topple a website.

"Data centres usually have the ability to connect to at least two power sources so that they can switch in case one source is lost.

"I would be surprised for any large company taking space on a data centre which did not have this option."

Ms Evans said that while she could not comment on the MySpace problem directly, she said many companies hosted information at more than one data centre.

My profile is back up buts its gone all basic looking. I hope they sort it out soon.

[ryan8472]

Yeah it works again...

Damn. I was really liking that Pacman game. :D

[madformac]

I've just looked at my profile settings and the cock knockers have gone and deleted my code.... :mad:

Thats an hour now I'm gonna be spending setting it up again..... :rolleyes:

[wondergirl9847]

I saved my code in Microsoft Word in case something happened. I just checked my page and there was only one little blip. I was lucky, I guess. Everyone should save their code in case this happens again, which it probably will. :(

I save it once a month.. Just happens I've totally changed it twice this month already.

Looks like 3 times now... Tossers.. :thumbsup:

[SuzeQuze]

My code is still there but it was simple, I don't know if that makes a difference. Probably not, they probably just hadn't backed up the site since your last change Justin. Tossers. Hehe, love that word.

[DrummerDeanna]

I couldn't access MySpace all weekend - but I'm not having any issues today - and my page still looks the same :D

Considering who owns the site and how much it's worth they really should be able to offer something that isn't breaking down all the time. Damn site is so quirky - but I'm shamelessly addicted.

[madformac]

I've nearly sorted my profile out now.. Just put a picture of some drunken idiot on there... :rolleyes: :p

Seriously, now that it is in the hands of Murdoch especially there is no excuse for that kind of down time and the code issues we deal with on a day-to-day basis! I too am shamelessly addicted though! :)

Yes but you need to blog more.. :nod: Christy is obsessed with posting images of men :shocked: and my ramblings are hardly full of anything stimulating. My last one involved watching paint dry!

[wondergirl9847]

Christy is obsessed with posting images of men

And what is wrong with that?! :mad:

LOL

I haven't put up any more concert pics...been busy with work today. My blogs are mostly pics because I don't have anything interesting to say. I have no life. :(

[madformac]

And what is wrong with that?! :mad:


Its not stimulating my brain.. or any other part of me.. :blob2: :laugh: :xoxo:

But I'll let you off this time. :wavey:

[wondergirl9847]

You didn't like my girl crushes either? LOL Of course, Nicole, Halle and Natalie weren't on there. ;)

I will try to be more, ahem, stimulating, in my blogs. :shocked:

[madformac]

Just blog whatever comes into your head girl, whatever the subject I'll read it.. On second thoughts :shocked: :lol:

[wondergirl9847]

I have an issue I'd like to talk about...but it may bring about conflict. I don't want that person to read my blog. She'll know I'm talking about her. But...it IS chapping my a$$. :mad:

Don't worry, it's nobody from here. :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

I know. You're right. But I'm usually mouthing off on your blog! :lol:

Okay, I resolve to blog more. Thanks for the encouragement.

Also, your blogs are interesting to me. After all, you're English so that in itself is interesting! :laugh:

Mouth away. :thumbsup: :wavey: I need all the psychological help I can get these days.

Being English is interesting?? erm.. okay. If you want to hear the ramblings of an English bufoon then you can read my blogs with pleasure Suze. I'll try to keep them reasonably frequent. For anybody else that wants to kill off a few minutes of their life its over at

May I also point you in the direction of two other cloth eared half wits that have a similar tone to their ramblings. Firstly there is dear Boris Johnson, MP for Henley On Thames.

http://www.boris-johnson.com/

Here you will find a typically English blog of mindless but insightful ramblings, mainly about how crap the Blair government is..

Secondly there is Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear presenter and columnist for the Sunday Times. His unique look at the world is over at

http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/section/0,,12529,00.html

A lot of his mindless piffle is about cars but if you scroll to the bottom of the page there is a box linking to his weekly ramblings. America has been in his sights latley.. ;) Quote

"You find this a lot in America. People way down the food chain are given the power to say yes or no to elaborately prepared plans, just so their bosses can’t be sued. One expression that simply doesn’t translate from English in these days of power without responsibility is “Ooh, I’m sure it’ll be fine”.

And, unfortunately, these people at the bottom of the food chain have no intellect at all. Reasoning with them is like reasoning with a tree. I think this is because people in the sticks have stopped marrying their cousins and are now mating with vegetables.

They certainly aren’t eating them. You see them growing in fields, but all you ever find on a menu is cheese, cheese, cheese, or cheese with cheese. Except for a steak and cheese sandwich I bought in Mississippi. This was made, according to the label, from “imitation cheese”. Nope, I don’t know what that is either but I do know that out of the main population centres, the potato people are getting fatter and dimmer by the minute.
