- About five weeks ago when I talked with John he mentioned that Xanga was coming out with some new and revolutionary SN (social networking) features. I urged him to call any 'Friends' feature 'hook-ups' . He thought that 'hook-ups' might have too much of a sexual connotation and so (as is now obvious) stayed with a safer 'Friends' interface. In my mind, hook-ups are not at all sexual. Now, sex-ups, those just might be sexual.
- There's a blogsite just for teenagers 13-18, that's right-you got to quit at 19, named yFly.com. Of course, I'm only 16 so I can join and hang for a couple of years (looking for hook-ups). Anyway, they are supposed to be "all about safety for youngsters". Just listen: "Yfly is only for teens. That means if you are 12, you have to wait another year. Sorry. That also means if you are over nineteen you're not welcome either. We'll be watching for people who might be underage and for those who are older than they say. And we'll need your help too. You can report an underage user or someone you think is an adult posing as a teen at our abuse report page. If we find an adult using our site without our okay, we'll report them to Parry Aftab and WiredSafety.org. She may report them to the cops. We're serious about this. You're worth it."
- Y yFly.com has a SN feature called "Pimp My Pages". wtf?! They have "Pimp My Pages" and we only got "Nudges" and "Friends". Xanga!!!????
- Parry Aftab. WiredSafety.org. Calling the cops. Could she be the Nemesis that compelled Xanga to shutdown its pro forma underage sites without warning? John says: "I cannot go into details here other than to say that it was something we had to do." Yeah, I even wrote John and he wouldn't spill the beans to me. Damn it, John, it's your longest-time antagonist, nfp, and you can't spill the beans? Could you, maybe, just knock 'em over accidentally? Sounds like Xanga's under a court order to remain mum. I wonder if they were threatened with a civil suit and taking the action they took and remaining mum on the terms of agreement was part of the settlement they made to avoid the lawsuit?

pimp my pages?
that's the last thing we need.
<3
If I was to play the SN game I'd wanna call my buddies fuck-ups.... Maybe I'll write john...
That Y fly place sounds like the perfect place to look for sick pups.............
Still waiting for MY hook-up invitation...
wtf...I need a new Pimp!!!!!!!
Good detective work, Sgt. Friday. Sounds very plausible... and this explains your question to us all a while back about "hooking up"!
That's right, parents. Parry and WiredSafety have got you covered, so you may go back to your golf and booze.
That "big brother" is always got his spy glass out!
Will you pimp my page?
Yep, that sure does sound like a court ordered gag on the discussion. It doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is that Xanga thinks what they put out as 'networking' is 'revolutionary.' It's nothing new, myspace meets facebook...same stuff. Revolutionary would be interesting, but I don't see it here.
Hey! It's good to read your comments again after I have been away so long. I'm still getting used to the changes.
pImP mY zAnGa!
What a stupid site, really.
"She may report them to the cops. We're serious about this. You're worth it."
How 'bout you knock my Pimp's beans over accidentally so we can hook-up?!
You just recounted your whole conversation with him?
Why not use the ECHELON system to take out any person or persons who might be apt to du such horrible crimes as impersonating a teenager? Combined with the laser empowered Star Wars missile interception programm, here used to abruptly "protone laser fry" anyone older than 19 thinking of impersonating anyone younger than 19, we in the western hemisphere would soon have higher moral standards than God himself - He lets impersonators live on for years and years!
(It is funny to think about the fact that people within the ECHELON surveillance system in a little while from I press Slam dammit! lower on this page, will read this comment since it withhelds both the Star Wars Programm and the ECHELON itselves keywords..
No, it is true!)
{ECHELON is a satellite-based system that can monitor almost any kind of electronic signal. It intercepts the signal, then an enormous computer network implements software that uses keyword recognition and voice recognition to pick out words of note. Phone calls made on land lines, faxes, and emails are all susceptible to ECHELON’s surveillance power. Countries then exchange the information obtained.}
*beaning out of here*
Good questions, nfp, but to be honest (and from a purely selfish pov) I think Xanga's well shot to be rid of them...
(but yes I can see the prob for Xanga circulation)
Now let's declare war on Yfly ?
To ALL Xangans: You have the right to be informed.

The blog shutdowns and the myspace conversion happening at almost the same time was Not a coincidence. The True story behind this xanga upgrade is far more sinister than meets the eye.
It turns out, xanga could not legally convert to its own version of MySpace until it purged all underage bloggers from it's system. The widespread sweep to "protect" innocent bloggers was obligated by 'Mary', a Xangan employee, due to the recent media attention denouncing the predatory nature of sites like Myspace and Friendster. As an employee, Mary admonished Xanga's CEO Marc and threatened to resign and notify the authorities and watch-groups, if xanga did not follow through and enforce their Eligibility Requirements. Her demands were taken seriously since, it is better to avoid a lawsuit than not, xanga appeased their employee and proceeded to summarily expurgiate underage bloggers from its servers. Though, you'll never hear Xanga admit to that, we have an inside source working for BXU!'s Covert Operations unit and We don't mind telling you.
We'll continue to try our best to keep NFC readers in the loop.
!BXU!
Oh that's nice a nice touch for the young 'uns: Pimp my Pages. Yeah, talking to adults is bad. Pimpin' is good.
well...
i've been doing the friends thing
but now i'm not sure i like it.
i'm thinking i'll leave it to the young'uns.
Nudges? What the hell is that? Confused...
Maybe the x-gods will allow us to change the names on our own sites? So I can put, "Shot with a cannon!"
Think you could give John a Nudge in the right direction on this one Nudgeferprophet?
HA!
U shure u ain't sum kinna Xanga PR type, mr. notforPRophet?
nfp, we're antagonists?!
in any case, i'm sure that everything will become clear over the next few weeks... in the meantime, i am truly unable to even accidentally knock over the beans!
