So I recently was able to log into my old MySpace from way back in 2006-2009, and unfortunately there's not much on there. My photos still have placeholders like they almost exist. The captions are still there on each photo, but the photos themselves don't seem to be on the Myspace servers, which is incredibly saddening. I'm just wondering if anybody has had any luck retrieving their old photos?

im sorry to hear that, the wealth of photos and other lost media (including whole bands discographies that they didn't upload anywhere else) is terrible, just because they didn't do it in smaller stages with backups of each made,

I think it was on purpose as a way to purge the data and restart Myspace from the ground up. Which failed. The site is dead now. The internet is a digital archive and a place to keep some of our best memories, and for them to lose all that is pretty sad..

I've had the same issue. Theyre the only photos I really had during that time, so I feel like a big part of my history went missing.. any ideas on how to find the code and maybe get them back?

Last i logged in was 2015 and haven't been able to get back in since. I managed to snag like 3 photos, but everything is gone now

my mom has been trying to get her photos back from myspace, most of those are all the pics she had of me growing up and my baby photos, everything physical she had was lost in storage because someone told her theyd pay the storage rent but they didnt. that sucks to hear they lost 12 years of data back in 2019, i didnt know that. i hope theres some hope in the future but it might all be lost. dang.

Yea, it's all gone. The placeholders for the photos are there, and even my captions. But the photo themselves aren't on the Myspace servers anymore
Super cool profile by the way. Love that!
