    I heard a rumor that myspace is shutting down--I am wondering if anyone has heard the rumor I cannot even log in anymore.

    I logged in earlier today, although it does seem to be taking longer to load recently. I haven't heard the rumor though. With the amount of traffic that site gets, I highly doubt they would shut it down.

    I've never been to myspace and I don't have any reason to use it but I have to say I've heard a LOT of bad things about it such as underage teens posting almost pornagraphic photos, pedafiles using it to find victims, etc. Not sure maybe it shouldn't be shut down. JMO

    My 17 yr. old has it and I find it a fun way to network with her friends, it is fun, can be educational and it is really away for me to talk to her about important issues. I monitor it often and use it as an opportunity to to teach her lifes lessons. If I see she has posted too much personal info, I explain why its a bad thing to do and how she should be more private in other areas of her life, we look at other kids pages together and discuss what they are conveying, are they "responsible", do they look like a "ho" or how does she think people percieve this person, it opens up alot of dialog. Also, you can't shut down the world because bad things can happen, should we shut down the church because some priests are child molesters, how about some coaches that molest? Should all sports be banned? Teachers in schools? Should we close our schools?...no, we have to teach our children to be careful and keep teaching them and using everyday life to show what can happen and how to be safe....

    That can happen on any site online. Also you don't see what these kids do/talk about over messenger or in chat rooms either.

    Re: myspace is shutting down

    The other day on the news two teenage boys on my space made up a girl's profile and they helped police nab a man who set up a meeting with "her". I have not heard anything about myspace being shut down. Mare
