I love Friendster, don’t get me wrong. It is a source of communication that I use to keep updated with friends that I meet and seldom meet. Along the line, Friendster evolved into something more than it initially was. It’s a good thing to begin with. I mean, with all the customization in place, you basically get to customize the webpage to your liking. More like a personal website of our own.
Proper usage results in a perfect community of friends communicating with each other. In fact, Friendster is also a tool to expand your friendship network. Somehow or another, Murphy’s law always holds. There are always bound to be idiots out there spoiling the perfect cycle at the least expected time.
Here, I am going to list the top 10 things I hate about Friendster, or rather about people using Friendster:
10) Nicknames not resembling the person
Some people put nicknames and not have a single photo associated with them. Along the line I start forgetting who they are. How am I supposed to recognize you? I don’t have the Death Note OK! I won’t write your name in the notebook even if I know your name OK! Won’t die letting me know your name OK!
9) People having more than an account with full friends list
Now, having friends are fine but when you post “cute” pictures of yourself trying to gain attention, you get a lot of superficial friends. You know, sometimes, you aren’t that cute in real life and it is with all the make up and the desperate attempts that make you look “cute”. You end up with 500 “friends” in your account and 3 quarter of them are deperate people trying to get to know and bed you. Period.
8 ) Guys who add pretty girls, girls who add handsome guys
These idiots, if you noticed, add all the pretty girls and handsome guys to their lists. Call me a sour grape, whatever. Fucking stupid OK! Add all you want, people hide behind names and photos of porn stars claiming those are them. You add them and later discover these pigs are the total opposite of who they are in real life and die of heart attack knowing the truth.
7) People opening a Friendster blog and have it empty for eternity/write crap
You see a lot of people open Friendster blogs because the majority of the crowd is doing so. One month later, you return to the blog and find a fucking empty page staring right back at you. You might also find the one and only post stating this “Hi, I am new here. I want to write a blog…” and they disappear to god knows where.
Then, some people open a blog to torment your soul with “Wah, time past by so fast. It has been a long time since I updated my stupid blog and I am here now to update the fucking blog so that you can read my stupid post and die of boredom right in front of the computer.”
“Today, I went and eat shit. Life is short, I just want to try everything I can. Today I went and meet up with some online pals who gang raped me because I was so stupid to go and meet them up even before knowing their true nature.”
6) Posting pictures of themselves and claim they are fat/ugly
These people post pictures of themselves and go “Wah I am so fat and ugly.” You bet you are, so just take the god damn picture off the site and save me the agony of having to browse through your fugly pictures. Trying to fish for compliments eh? I don’t want to give you the compliment, how? You are fugly, how? Sue me!!!
5) Using CSS to send me down to hell
I have said this and I’ll say it again. Imagine this, blinking stars background, animated pictures all around the website. Annoying sounds playing in the back ground. Green/pink colour background against yellow texts. Someone kill me right now. I think, Hotmail, GMail, Yahoo, Google and Microsoft should also change their websites to these kinda designs. The blinking effects and animations will definitely attract more traffic to their sites NOT!!! So quit it!!! The first thing I do when I see this kinda site is hit the Back button almost immediately.
4) Useless testimonials
Stop sending useless and annoying testimonials. I go to your site to look up your profile and not listen to a stupid bird singing. The bird is annoying OK! Don’t even send meaningless testimonials like “This is a meaningful testimonial. This testimonial is meaningful because it is not meaningless. A lot of people send meaningless testimonials, unlike this meaningful testimonial that is not meaningless.” Damn you, it might be interesting the first few times I read it. It becomes annoying after reading it 100 god damn times. Truth be told, this is the most meaningless testimonial of all meaningless testimonials.
3) Forwarded chain messages
You have been haunted by the spirit of an evil ghost. If you do not forward it in the next 5 minutes, the ghost will haunt you for the next 1 year. Forward this to at least 20 people or bad luck will come your way.
@^&!%@#& KNNCCBTNS, mahai, come la, I don’t and never forward these messages. Come and haunt me, I don’t give a shit, can?!?! Puki you, while I dump and ignore this message, I hope you are the one who is haunted.
I love god, I know you love god. If you love god, forward this to 20 people or else god will not be happy, etc etc…
@!&*#!&*@#&!@#%& You go and fuck yourself. I love god, but god never state in the bible/manuscript that I have to forward this fucking message to 20 people to show my love for him. You don’t come and teach me stupid things like that. I’ll smack you on your head I tell you! Now go and confess all your sins, you are such a disgrace and hopefully god forgives you for what you have done!
2) Arrogant assholes
Ever came across people who put this is their profiles?
“I do not simply add people. If I do not know you, don’t add me. I will delete people who I do not know and I will not entertain any messages from people I don’t know”
I say, SCREW YOU! You don’t have to say it out to the whole wide world. We already know you’re being a bitch for not adding us. We get it, you don’t have to write it out and tell the whole damn world you are so “famous” and egoistic, you do not entertain people you don’t know. You probably might have your own reasons, but still, don’t have to tell it to the whole wide world!
1) FRIENDSTER IS CLOSING DOWN! THAT MOTHERFUCKER ALLEN SMITH IS COMING! RUN RUN!!!
OMG, Friendster is so gonna close down NOT!!! Are you stupid? Friendster is going to close your account? Where did you heard that from? You are willing to take an idiot’s words for it and you are not willing to read through Friendster’s help area to validate it’s a bullshit?
Where is that motherfucking Allen Smith? Certainly not on Friendster! Ask him to come and close my fucking account. This is so widespread I have received it not once, not twice, not even trice but more than 10 times. I tried responding to it and sending it back to my friend. Surprisingly, people forward spams like this but I have yet to see the message I sent, come back to me. What is wrong with you idiots?
One last time, Allen Smith does not exist, Friendster is not closing down and STOP SENDING THE GOD DAMN STUPID MESSAGE!!! Mai chao turtle!!!

10. i hate it also when people add names like “cute/pretty/gorgeous” to their names: “prettyILENE”, “GorgeousIVY” and other times where their names are spelled weird: “AUGHLIZZZZZHYA” for “ALICIA” ugh. double ugh.
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and most definitely number one: don’t they read, friendster even has an announcement putting an end to that allen smith hoax. definitely stupid.
nicely said! friendster is really getting old, but some of my friends still use it and that’s the only place where i can contact them.

Friendster is shit!! for those who cannot stop updating and adding their bios, just to get ppl attention + publicity + promotion, u better eat your shit! why these people like to expose so many things about their personal life for public viewing?
June 5, 2007 at 3:27 pm
Mother-fucking friendster broke me and my GF up. She said that she found someone better in friendster, then she found out that he was a computer geek who jsut manipulated a picture… Dumb-asses. Then it also made my cousin a complete asshole, he asked me how many friends I had. I told him that I had 7 True friends, then he laughed and insulted me by saying, “I have 274 Friends in friendster… you’re such a loser.” Mother fucking friendster is going to pay. Everyone in that site is going to pay. Hehehe…
June 8, 2007 at 4:56 pm
oist, problema mo? e deh wak ka magfrendster. hate mo pala eh.
sino ba may sabe magfwendster u.?! naku naman oh..
June 9, 2007 at 8:17 am
ALVIN, I totally agree with you.
There is so much truth to what you said.
My account is already full, but rest assured, that it took me five years to have that fullness and NOT by any manner that you enumerated above. Nor did I entice anyone to simply add me because I was struggling to be cute before them or that my page was begging them to add me.
I have screened my circle, only to allow those that are genuinely true and have noble intentions of friendship.
There is nothing wrong or inertly evil in having many friends…as long as these so-called “friends” are indeed “real” friends.
I think you will agree with me in this.
June 9, 2007 at 8:33 am
But as an addendum, on the subject of “real” friends: my kung-fu teacher once related to me, “In life, one can only have three real friends. The rest would always fail the test of genuineness.”
In some occasions, even among the remaining three, none can be found at all to be authentic or faithful–as in the case of Christ who had twelve, only to discover none to be so bold and loyal enough to be by his side at the hour of need (in addition to the outstanding fact, that it was one of these twelve that was the cause of his demise), notwithstanding that he befriended thousands and healed many in his lifetime.
Hence, I can expect the same statistical applicability among my so-called “friends.”
June 9, 2007 at 8:44 am
Thanks for those musings, buddy.
The only regret I have, is that I have always wanted to write the very same points you mentioned, only that you illustrated it so wittily before I could even start my own version, and I couldn’t put it in a better way than how you constructed them…
Grins. Kudos!

amor: ??? I don’t understand…
Ridge: Yes, I agree. No harm having a lot of friends. Most are just adding but not knowing the person for real. Put up your own version of your musing. I’d gladly read them. Thanks for dropping by. Cheers buddy…

how to teach friendster a lesson
i will teach you guys how to teach friendster.com a lesson…
why i do this?
because friendster starts removing my pics, it posts only white spaces, and also removes my friends pics,…
how?
friendster uses pay per click advertising with Google, our aim is to tell advertisers not to advertise with friendster… so would probably result to friendster’s fall…
step 1
go to friendster.com
step 2
click on the advertisement by Google, usually two links at the bottom right… this method might increase friendster’s income temporarily since in every click gives friendster cash…
step 3
close the sponsors page after it is open in less than 5seconds… this will send a message to the sponsor’s page a bad Bounce Rate, meaning a bad referrer, meaning friendster is a bad site to advertise… meaning a great loss of cash for advertisers…
step 4
refresh friendster.com
repeat repeat repeat repeat…
will this work?
probably, i just thought of this when i first heard of google ads… and hey… it’s worth to try… yes i am confident about this idea!
will this work on other site?
yeah! i am not sending a bad method out there,… i am just telling you this so sites may offer quality service!
PS share this to everyone, this is effective only if a lot of people around the globe, with different IP(internet address) will cooperate

November 14, 2008 at 3:21 pm
I think you should add this..
11. Private Photos – Why the hell put up private photos and not show it to anyone? If a photo is really private for the user, then keep it to yourself. You don’t have to upload it on the net, goddammit.
November 23, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Can people stop using negative and swear words, please! This blog and most of the comments are not inspiring and amusing to read at all! Grow up immature people!
What about adding this: Banning people who use swear words on any networking site until they get their brains de-cluttered and debris-free???
To gondar kahn: Private photos are for selected viewers only – don’t you get it??? It is quite simple..
December 27, 2008 at 11:36 pm
Whatever, it makes me laugh, cos some of them are true.
February 1, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Funny you.
February 1, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Friendster is so damn slow now, what ya think about it? Leave or continue to be the follower since you have like a thousand fat pics and bo liao testimonials there ;p
