MySpace Removes Application Forums

Yesterday MySpace announced that they were officially shutting off the forums on the application profile pages. The biggest reason was spam. I had written about this issue previously as there were hate message being posted on a number of walls. Facebook applications have faced similar issues but apparently the spam reporting mechanisms on Facebook have been more effective.

What is MySpace telling developers to do now that their application forums are gone? Go download your own and moderate it! I’m not sure that this is the best solution but at least it shows that MySpace doesn’t have complete control over their spam situation.
