Deletion

edit

MLIA was nominated for deletion. I find this disturbing, because it is a spinoff of Fmylife.com, which has its own page. Will the editor who nominated the page for deletion please write why he or she did so? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gohoushmandzadeh (talkcontribs) 18:18, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

If every "spinoff of FML" got it's own page there would be hundreds of pointless pages (Antriver (talk) 16:34, 8 July 2010 (UTC))Reply

Comedy

edit

We should mention how the site's newer posts are comedic, yet still somewhat average 67.249.228.224 (talk) 23:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Ulrock7777Reply

Yes, some of the older posts were boring. I like it better this way! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.83.24.241 (talkcontribs) 04:15, 4 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
That may be true, but do you have any reliable sources that discuss this transformation? If there are no sources about this, this content must be removed (I have done so), because original research does not belong on Wikipedia. Cunard (talk) 19:21, 4 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
One can verify it by looking at the site can they not? Richard001 (talk) 02:56, 12 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
No, see WP:NOR --Tar7arus (talk) 03:24, 22 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
That's an opinion and has no place in the article (Antriver (talk) 16:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC))Reply

I recently submitted sotry and the number on it was 1,421,090 the page should be changed from 100,000 posts to over 1,000,000. However, when I did this the page was reverted. 74.37.227.156 (talk) 17:15, 24 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

If you provide the reference that says that MyLifeIsAverage has over 1,000,000 posts, I will reinstate your change. Cunard (talk) 06:45, 26 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

MyLifeIsAverage also inspired the website AverageWizard (MLIM, MyLifeIsMagical) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.113.101 (talk) 09:56, 28 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please provide a reliable source that substantiates this assertion. Cunard (talk) 11:10, 28 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Views

edit

I think it should also talk about the views of Mylifeisaverage. Like how they are against twilight and all for Harry Potter. Also about how it likes snuggies, ninjas, and all disney cartoon movies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bman88rocks (talkcontribs) 11:07, 12 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Do you have a reliable source that documents such views? Cunard (talk) 06:59, 13 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
This trivial information is not relevant to the article (Antriver (talk) 16:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC))Reply
Technically, this is a view of many of those who comment on the posts, not of MLIA itself, and is therefore irrelevant zyla_rose (talk) 04:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Website inactive

edit

I have no reliable source for this, but the latest story in the website has been the one that starts with "Today my three year-old niece" for quite some time, so I believe the site would be best considered "Inactive". It is still up (but it is impossible to see comments), but certainly inactive. Mateussf (talk) 02:08, 2 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Mateussf (talk · contribs). I have added information from Nathalie Graham's 2019 article in The Stranger. She wrote about MyLifeIsAverage, "The site doesn't really work anymore". Here is more information from the article:

Soon, though, the MLIA comments section devolved entirely; people started having cybersex in old posts from years back, which led to some vicious cyberbullying, and, ultimately, comments that seemed like innocuous edgy internet humor back in 2009 seemed a whole lot meaner and less-okay in the current day and age. Once MLIA moderators started censoring profanity the whole thing went to shit sh*t. Asterisk workarounds and people saying "fudging" instead of "fucking" really solidified the death of the comments section and the death of the site.
