My Last MySpace Blog Post - Next Week












One week from today I will be posting my last message here on "Frank's PostSecret Blog on MySpace".  I will have some BIG news to share, so please tell your friends and check back to read my last posting.

Over the past 6 months, I have been happy to share with you dozens of never before seen secrets, new PostSecret Videos, creative projects some of my friends have started, and a few of the adventures I have had at PostSecret Events.

I would like to continue sharing new postcards and some of the funny and inspirational stories behind the secrets but recently MySpace has made that very difficult. 

At first, MySpace was a great partner.  They redesigned the PostSecret profile page, expressed an interest in extending HopeLine's reach to their network and awarded PostSecret a "MySpace Impact Award".  Then the support stopped without warning and things have progressively gotten worse.

MySpace cancelled a planned meeting we had where Reese Butler and I had hoped to migrate some of the most effective suicide prevention resources from HopeLine directly to the MySpace community.  Some of the secrets that I had posted on MySpace were removed without notification and commenters to the Blog saw some of their words and thoughts disappear.

The final affront came last week when MySpace notified my visitors who tried to use a link to the PostSecret website that, "You have reached a link that is no longer in service. That means the link was very naughty, and, much like head lice, had to be eliminated before it spread."

I am not angry with MySpace, just disappointed.  The times that "Frank's PostSecret Blog on MySpace" was the most read Blog on MySpace were very gratifying. 
I felt like we were growing a special community here and am sorry that we will not be able to see how things would have continued to develop. 

I want to personally thank the thousands of people who left Blog comments and were a part of this experiment, cut short.


Lastly, I hope you will keep telling your friends about PostSecret and friend the PostSecret profile so I can continue to provide you with PostSecret news about the new book (hint) and PostSecret Event Tour.

See you next week,
-Frank

Today, I shared my secret over text messaging...And strangers brought to me a relief and sense of comfort that is often hard to find within family...It has made me want to share my story with all...


On March 15, 2002 after many horrible months I attempted to end my life. I was saved by wonderful nursing staff at a local hospital and spent 2 weeks in a psych ward. Still, I felt detached. I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder. I did not want to accept it and tried so hard to deny the truth. Because of it, I lost a wonderful person that I was with for a little over 5 years. I pushed away my family, my friends...However, when I lost "him" my family surrounded me. I moved back home and met someone new. He is a wonderful person, but not the lid to my pot. I became pregrant and that terrified me even more. I ultimately am not with the father of my child, but now, 7 years later, I am happy. I have a beautiful 3 year old son that I almost didn't keep. My mom was there for me and I went through with the pregnancy. I have found myself a wonderful man. This Saturday will be a year. He asked questions and he understands that I am not perfect and has still come through and fallen in love me with - and all my flaws. It took me almost 5 years to accept who I am now. But I am lucky. My family showed me what love and support really means. Still, I am scared. That someday my Bi-Polar will take it all away again.



I just want those who share Bi-Polar with me, those who are scared, to know - You are not alone...And my phone is always on. 716-990-3199. Call me or text me. I am not perfect and I still have my moments. But I truly understand the fear that comes with it.



And to those of you who read and responded with such warmth, comfort, and truth in their words - Thank You.



Much love to you all.

Aww, man.

I love your blogs, maaan.


Geez.

MySpace needs to chill.

You are amazing.

& If they can't see that, then you're better off. Everyone who's been with you for some time now & who's been supporting you KNOWS how amazing of a community PostSecret is. We're all family. & We all have a special place in our heart for everyone involved in this. We help each other when we have never even spoken to each other a day in our lives. We inspire each other. We care for each other.


We save each other.


MySpace or no MySpace we will keep on supporting you.

Thank you for saving us all, in more ways than one.

I will never be able to thank you enough or find the words to express how much PostSecret means to me.


God Bless You.

I'm beyond thankful that you started all of this.

I can't imagine my life without it.


Thank you, again.

-Diana

no judgement here :P

After reading the blog and getting secrets i've realized that maybe we're not so different.


"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

the reason postsecret blogs on myspace won't be around anymore is because people are posting their phone numbers!!! WAY TO GO, GUYS!!! AWESOME! /sarcasm.

you have said everything i would have said too. in fact, i had quit coming here completely until i saw the title of this blog. the reason i had quit coming here was precisely the telephone number comments. what kind of community is that? this "community" became nothing more than a f-ing telephone book.
and who wants to read that?

there was a post secret blog telling people to post their numbers for texting secrets.


so, it wasn't just the "idiots" posting their numbers. it was suggested in a post secret blog.




i did post my number, and also texted a secret of mine to a number i saw on here. and i dont regret it at all, and i dont feel like anyone who posts their number on here is stupid.


posting your number is yet another nice way to connect with strangers and spread love.

I'm pretty sure Frank listed a number of ways that myspace has attacked the integrity of postsecret. Not only did they have something against the posting of phone numbers, but they also removed part of the blog without notification and cancelled a meeting.
The clincher being that a link to postsecret. com was met with a message saying that it was a naughty site. Even if the phone numbers started the whole mess, myspace did not have to follow through with the actions that they did. No matter what any of us would have done, something would have happened seeing as myspace obviously has something against postsecret.

In everyone's defense, Frank posted a textsecret blog which emerged the phone-number-exchanging through blog posts.

Many people have found relief through these, but I am not endorsing the spam-posts of people's phone numbers. I don't read the blog comments, anyways.


It's a shame that phone numbers are the reason that postsecret blogs will no long be continued on MySpace, but it also has to be seen that people post their phone numbers on their personal MySpace pages as well, but I suppose that's not the point.


The point is, fine, we won't get the two or three extra secrets on MySpace every Sunday. Maybe Frank will start putting the updates on Facebook or maybe not.
It's up to him, isn't it?

Do any of you people even read these or do you just want to be the first person to spam with truth boxes and cell phone numbers.


This is very upsetting and I would hope that some of you would be a little more disappointed over the way myspace has lashed out at postsecret.

Frank, thanks for letting us be a part of something wonderful. I can't wait for the new book.

Get off your high horse, Niana.


Of course I read it, after I posted. And of course I was disappointed. However, this isn't the end of the world, and it certainly isn't the end of PostSecret. It's too bad that MySpace can't be a part of this wonderful project but Frank is doing the best thing possible by distancing himself from this crappy situation.


If you're going to be a part of PostSecret, maybe you should work on being a little less judgmental. Someone passed judgment on comments in Frank's blog, and that is part of what led to the current situation.

What exactly was YOUR point for your comment? You obviously don't care what's happening because the first thing you do before even reading what he has to say is go straight to the comment box to get the first comment on here so everyone will see it.

My point was pretty clear. My point was to defend myself after being attacked for doing something that the majority of the other posters on here did, and I just happened to be first. Excuse the hell out of me - I didn't think that it would make me seem insensitive to the situation. All you did was repeat a few words of what I said - you didn't make a point at all.


People need to chill the hell out. It is just not that serious.

No.. it's because of people LIKE YOU posting their phone numbers and spamming the whole comment space with truthbox crap and visit my postsecret ripoff website.


You all should have learned the first time franks blog got deleted to quit posting personal things. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Well, I'm pretty sure I didn't post my cell number and people would be able to get to my Truth Box no matter what I said in my post so I'm sticking to the fact that I didn't do anything wrong and no, I'm not ashamed of myself. I could understand if I posted over and over and over again like some people do but I didn't...

I've got nothing left to say to you or the other silly girl whose name I can't remember. Have a great night.

dear eva santeford,
i don't find it respectful in any way to use Frank's blogs,

to be hella smart ass defending your case in every way possible
to show that your stronger than everyone else.

this really is not the place to do so.
