To the users of Myspace;
I have recently discovered an important announcement directed toward the users of Myspace to ensure satisfaction of it's usage. Although it wasn't released to the public, I have taken the liberty to divulge it's message and broadcast this declaration on my own, of course with the permission of Tom, the creator of Myspace. The announcement is this:
There will be no more chainletters.
Chainletters, the vile substance in the form of a bulletin message has spreaded widely, and almost every user knows what one is, and has probably once passed one on, in either the knowledge of it being a prank and hoping to prank others, or falling for it's ridiculous declaration of love, death, benefit or any other form. They devour site space, and, to bluntly state, a 10MB would become a 10GB quickly.
Many appear as a ghastly threat, or imperative declarations of near death intended to scare the user. These will state that when the user does not follow out with the listed instructions, usually being simply to pass on the message, will fall under the mercy of a serial killer, a ghost, or some other sort of macabre figure. These are usually filled with false proof of such with cases of death from unfortunate users, and at times prove it's stupidity by simple misspellings of words or highly illogical outcomes. To ensure the spreading of such items, users will desperately use capitalized letters to express fear from him/herself, and repeat phrases such as "Guys, this is serious." Other times, it will foretell of a virus to install itself onto your computer, if you ever meet with another user, or fail to resend the message. These are often untrue, for viruses cannot install themselves onto your computer through the sending of a Myspace bulletin, and if that be possible, would not be able to monitor the spreading of this message and the time in which it is sent.
These are relatively easy to spot when you come across one, and should be distinguished as trash. Yet another chainletter.
Others will appear as a preposterous statement of riches and love to descend upon your life and enlighten it, but are all apparently false. Common sense tells that by simply sending a message telling you to spread it, you will not get a calling from your loved one, or build masses of riches and wealth. As believable as they are, no matter who sends it, they are false. These are easier to spot then the skin on your body, and are of course foolhardy to send on. At times, desperate measures and expressions of excitement will result, possibly destroying the gullible host.
So, to ensure you do not ruin someone else's life be resending these, or to save yourself from falling for them, please spread on this message on to everyone you can, and hopefully we can save some site space for what matters to you, and not get ourselves in trouble. I thank you for taking your time in reading this, and I hope you make a stand in the stopping of chainletters!!
Signed,
Marty (ZottWarrior/Zephyr Zott)
