Someone save Friendster... PLEASE

I started to feel sick thinking of Friendster.

Espacially the testimonials. When I browse through the profile pages (uh, of others), the testimonials are either :

(1) Overrated testimonials with sick remarks, mainly composed of words "cute", "nice", and anything that doesn't have anything to do with the truth.

(2) ASCII art, which was least expected to be in the "TESTIMONIALS". Obviously we can't blame the "blind".

Adding to it, sometimes in the bulletin boards you'll find stories. Yes, they always go in some pattern : a guy and a girl, he loves her, and what the guy did for the girl, and how he died and she cried, and how the numbers fit. Very TYPICAL + BORING stuff.

I recalled someone who said Friendster sucks. And I think that's one of the reasons why he thinks like that. It gets boring whenever people are doing/repeating/blasting the same stuff over & over again, and on everyone's profile pages.

As long as everyone continues doing that, Friendster continues to sink.

Well, about the testimonials thing, the account user should be at fault because he could've always rejected it. Stupid ASCII art destroys the purpose of the testimonials board.

As for buletins... I love reading personal surverys =D

Hm... perhaps the account holder couldn't bear to reject the testimonials given by their friends. =P
