MYSPACE pages for those who have passed away. I get kind of a pit in my stomach whenever I see someone's myspace or public site page and people are still leaving messages for that person whenever they have died. What's even creepier is looking at when they last logged in. It's just scary to know that only moments after they logged in.....their life was taken. This boy who went to high school with me died last year, in August, and people still leave him messages on his deviant art page. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

It might be worth mentioning it to whoever runs the site. Its a fair point. There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

I think they have a site called deadspace or something...it's all the people that have died that had myspace profiles.
EDIT: Nope, not deadspace but there is another site for that...I've seen it. [Edited 9/4/07 13:56pm] | |

I was trying to determine whether people were leaving messages not realizing that someone passed away, or if they were leaving messages as a memorial of sorts. I guess it's a logical way of remembering somebody. I myself, plan to leave no trace of my body when I die. Just sprinkle my ashes in the ocean or earth and I'm fine--no tombstone, etc. But a website as a memorial might not be bad. I don't know. I just see death as the beginning of something now as opposed to something final, that needs to be overcome by holding on to a memory of me. But maybe I'm being too abstract about it. Who knows when the time comes. And I'm sorry for your loss AnckSuNamun. | |

Thats kind of irrational, its not like its them. Dead Space sounds neat. Its cool to leave messages I guess....it helps with grieving and stuff. Like flaowers at the cemetary n stuff. Its more for you than the person. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure

It was just weird seeing messages being left on his page as if they're having usual conversation. I see this a lot with myspace though. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

Its more for you than the person. I actually think an Internet site that allows people to have these online memorials but also serve as a genealogy/testimony page would be neat. So by your virtual memorial, someone can browse stories or things about you that would be exceedingly hard to find in real life. Like "I remember Dan from way back when...." I remember learning some stuff about my dad that I never would have guessed from one of his old friends, but it was strictly coincidence that I ever ran into the guy. It would be neat to see a service like that on the Internet. | |

I know what you mean. A good friend of mine was murdered in May. I get on his sight, and it makes my stomach flutter and I get sad. | |

There is a website dedicated to people who had myspace pages that are no longer with us.

mydeathspace.....thanks for the link. That must be the one Carrie's talking about. There's another out there too.....much more formal than the one for myspace. Either way.....nice idea. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

It's even worse to look at the messages leading up to that point. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

Girl I kinda knew od'd about 2 years ago, had a fake obituary for herself up in the about me section of her profile. Pretty damn morbid. ~ I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR ~
