For over two days I've been unable to run friend adder programs, it just loads slow or appears to load up profiles but never attempt to send a request.

And on all accounts it says I've exceeded by daily usage, even on my personal one. Can't reply to messages anywhere.

maybe it's the beginning of the end for Myspace marketing?

Sometimes account get locked out.

When all else fails make a new account.

According to the Adderrobot forum, there is currently a problem with adding users and having filters activated. At least that's what users report, no official confirmation yet.
True to disable filters if you are using any and see whether that works.

If you're having trouble with your paid for adder, it's time to try out socialnetbot.com! I've got a free myspace adder, a free bebo adder and in the next week or so I should be launching some youtube tools as well!

adding without filters still works...

Myspace is rying to crack down and doing a pretty good job at it by:

1. deleting more accounts (sending bulletins and messages seems to vastly increase the odds of account deletion. I have had accounts deleted just for sending out 1 bulletin every 24 hours. Sending messages is almost an auto ban guarantee.)

2. locking more accounts (can't add friends anymore)

3. changing code to divert bots (such as changing the cookie settings)

I don't believe it's the cookie settings that kill most of the bots. The majority of the bots use web automation where they are using an actual ie browser object and literally simulating as if the user was clicking on the HTML page elements. So, any cookies and hidden form elements are being sent. That's the easiest approach by far, but it is also the least performant by a large margin.

Myspace can wreak havoc by changing the id's of their form elements, changing urls, and making subtle changes to their underlying HTML code to kill the bots' regular expressions.

The problem for them is that their code is obviously a spaghetti coded mess of crap. It's old coldfusion code mangled to run on .net via a third party vm if i'm not mistaken. Unless they are complete buffoons, they know exactly how to stop the bots. But, they are afraid to change code since a change in one place would probably break code in other places. If myspace were to rewrite their entire app from scratch, they could really put a hurting on the bots. As it stands, they can't even keep their servers running smoothly on a daily basis.

I think it's humerous that whenever there is a server problem they put a message up like Tom is there working on the problem......."this feature is down for the moment. We're fixing it now. Thanks - Tom". That is just ridiculous.

hmm.. if you can't send out bulletins any more, or messages, that would
1) severely affect "normal" myspace users
2) obviously affects marketers, because after all, what's still left to use to get a message out to the myspace users?
