Pain In The MySpace

Sunday March 25, 2007

Honestly, I’ve been trying to register an account on MySpace for someone for the last hour with an email address, trying varying rotations of their home country, language selection, password and their idiotic captcha (which doesn’t offer plaintext or audio support) and EVERY time I’m left with

We’re sorry. Based on the information you have submitted to us, you are ineligible to register on MySpace.com.

You’d think they were just trying to stop people signing up. Too many members…

Update: over 3 hours since I’ve started, I’ve been able to register. MySpace registration downtime? No alerts within the site itself from what I could see…

    I agree, ive been trying to make a myspace account for ages and everytime it says We’re sorry. Based on the information you have submitted to us, you are ineligible to register on MySpace.com. it’s ridiculous! im going to keep trying though. how did u get urs to work?

  5. Ken McGuire on April 11th, 2007 7:43 am

    Patience…. just kept going back to fill out the form over a 3 hours period, eventually it went through! Switched browsers but it made no difference at all…

  6. Tony on April 11th, 2007 7:51 am

    It is a bad site for that, all these technical errors where you’re assured that your problem has been forwarded to the MySpace technical team yet you don’t know whats going on at all! Keep trying though…. or just walk away, make a coffee, and come back again :)

  8. Tony on April 11th, 2007 8:33 am

    OMG, it is still f**ked!. how do i fix it

  9. Ken McGuire on April 11th, 2007 8:57 am

    You got me there… I just played the waiting game after filling out the stupid form and captcha way too many times for my liking, eventually it got through.

  10. Tony on April 11th, 2007 8:59 am

    hey, um… wat country did u say u were? at the bottom where it say Canada(english, USA

  11. Ken McGuire on April 11th, 2007 9:07 am

    He he… I tried them all. Did a Canadian registration, UK registration, Irish registration….

  12. Tony on April 11th, 2007 9:23 am

    No problem at all, glad you got it sorted, its a sure pain in the arse!

  14. Angela G. on July 18th, 2007 4:35 am

    mmm… iv been trying for the last freaken bloody 5 hours and 2 min and i still dont got my space i dont know what to do?

  15. Ken McGuire on July 18th, 2007 9:33 am

    I guess the only thing you can do is be patient. I’d wonder if those ‘technical errors’ actually ever do get reported.

  16. Millie on August 9th, 2007 7:54 pm

    I’m guessing no, since it’s August and the same error message keeps coming up when I try to register a site for my store. Arrgh!

  17. Kathleen on August 15th, 2007 9:37 am

    man oh man i’m having the EXACT same problem… at first I thought I was doing something stupidly wrong… THANK GOODNESS I found others are having the same frustrating problem.

    This is a joke. I’m heading to facebook. haha.

    I’ve been trying for 24 hours, and I still can’t create a myspace account for my daughter. I even tried to create one for me, and it give me the same F*?kin error.

    I wish they would just fix the damn thing.

  19. jose on October 31st, 2007 11:01 pm

    i have trying to make a myspace accaunt and it does not let me why.

  20. Ken McGuire on November 1st, 2007 12:34 am

    I tried again at the weekend and ran into the same problem. I wound up registering with Canada as my country, entered a Toronto zip code I found online, registration was accepted and once logged in I changed my location no problem.

    Roundabout way of creating an account but it worked no problem.

  21. Tommy Lee on November 24th, 2007 3:41 am

    Well it didn’t work for me…

  22. Dirk on January 24th, 2008 11:47 pm

  23. Ken McGuire on January 25th, 2008 8:51 am

    Wait until you get in - there’s no getting out.

  24. Kelsey on January 26th, 2008 9:45 pm

    I tried many times to make myself a new account while using firefox as my browser. I switched over to internet explorer and it worked no problem.
    myspace is always screwed up

  25. Thomas Morlion on March 15th, 2008 11:28 am

    Firefox didn’t let me sign up, IE did. Stupid Myspace.

  26. ARigney on May 4th, 2008 10:50 pm

    I seem to be having the same problem, tried several email addresses but none of them work! Having to use Firefox as the IE on my mac is f*?!*d up - damn MySpace!

  27. ashley on May 6th, 2008 5:34 am

    I’m having the same problem… I don’t understand why its saying that! I’ve used a different email address and everything

  28. Price Vixen on May 8th, 2008 8:29 pm

    I had the same problem with Youtube, finely afetr half a year i got in. Dont know how, but i think it was because i needed to make a account with google, because youtube and myspace are powered by google. I made an account there and all of a sudden they let me in. But yesterday i wanted to get in myspace again so i login to google,and go back to myspave but it said,We’re sorry. Based on the information you have submitted to us, you are ineligible to register on MySpace.com. Ahhhhh! i give up! well not really i’m not i giver upper, but it is getting to be the point where i might give up! i will still keep trying, like i did with Youtube. So dont give up, People!

  30. Shyanne on June 4th, 2008 8:50 pm

    I hate this i’ve tried for days but nothing works can somebody help me i really want a myspace

  31. LaTisha on June 10th, 2008 11:28 pm

    Myspace sometimes flags users who they think might be lying about their age or registered sex offenders. Myspace gives you 24 hours usually, sometimes more. If you put in the same info, it will just keep blocking you. If you change it, it will usually let you in. If you continue to attempt signing up, it will just keep blocking you. Myspace says you’re IP address for 24 hours, so don’t try signing up for a while, unless you decide to sign up with another computer. Hope I helped!

  32. lizzy on June 13th, 2008 5:15 pm

    I’ve seen it a billion times.
    I’ve been trying to register since yesterday,
