Just went to check on mine
Just went to check on mine and I get this message:
"Your profile has been deleted.
Your profile violated our Terms of Use. We have deleted your profile and we encourage you to read our policies and usage guidelines before you create a new profile."
Not logging in for about 10 years must violate their TOS. Who knew?
The best things about Orkut were the "who's viewed your profile" feature, which helps spot stalkers, and the fact that it kept formatting of ascii art in profile, which let me do things like this:
/T /I

Which would end up looking like the 7th pic here (http://ascii.co.uk/art/eagle), instead of the abomination above. Beat that, Reg!
