MySpace loses 12 years' of music after server migration (Reminded me of ISH)

[jstern]

The company says the massive loss of data was the result of a server migration. MySpace wrote on its website that "any photos, videos and audio files" uploaded more than three years ago may no longer be available. It apologized “for the inconvenience.”


Many people are questioning whether this really was an accident on MySpace’s part or if it was simply a way of saving time and money by not migrating over 50 million songs from 14 million artists, along with all the photos and videos.

Reminded me of ISH, who lost years worth of threads during a server migration.

"Many people are wondering [...]"

Uh... No one's wondering lulz

I bet this site has zero backups.

Maybe one backup from the last decade.

I didn't even realize people still went to myspace. I guess those four people are going to be furious.

I wonder how they brand themselves these days.

I would not be unopposed if my mypapace profile got “accidentally” deleted.

I also uploaded some shorty guitar playing of mine as well. I would also not be unopposed if this got deleted.

Anyone remember listening to Shiny Toy Guns on myspace? Around 2005 or so? Good times.
