<i>Wanna meet your real neighbours again?</i><p>God no. That's why the Internet is so awesome - we're not limited to the people we unfortunately find ourselves surrounded by in "real life." Still, good joke ;-)

Reminds me of this, which also surfaced recently:<p><a href="http://www.seppukoo.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.seppukoo.com/</a><p>Also strangely well-designed for a simple novelty site.

Good concept but, personally, I find the overdone suicide logos and graphics unsettling.

That site is incredibly well put together. Makes me jealous that someone else's joke is better looking than my own real sites.

The people who feel the need to do this have missed the point of the sites in the first place.<p>I have an account on all three services. All of my friends on there are people I have physically met and like as people (or in the case of LinkedIn, business contacts). The only site I'd probably be fine with losing is MySpace, as it was fine before Facebook went public, but after that all of my friends moved to Facebook, making MySpace redundant.<p>I think the real issue is people who treat it like some soft of demented game of Pokemon. You don't have to "catch 'em all" and get everyone on the site to "friend" you. You don't win.

Their busy message with - consider suicide at a later moment - is quite hilarious<p>"It seems like that all of our machines are currently busy!<p>Please consider suicide at a later moment and accept our apologies!"

Your real neighbors are all on the internet, too busy to talk to you anyway.

We need the reverse ... spam your social networks with your real-world suicide, as explored at <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=831537" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=831537</a>.

Here's the quickest way to delete your account in China (only if your account has absolutely no link with your real identity):<p>Use a proxy, and post anti-government stuff.

My neighbours in opinion space are more interesting than my neighbours in physical space.

I was going to try it, but it looks like too many people are killing their myspaces alread.<p>"Myspace service currently unavailable, due to massive requests!!"
