Not only to people abuse the customization "feature," it's a complete hack that it works anyway. To customize a page, it's not like you select a theme with a nice interface, you go to some other website that generates a ton of inline css to overwrite the default settings. Then the user posts it in some "location" or "about me" section of their page. It's a mess. The "dashboard" itself is horrible as well. I always get text or javascript something-or-others overlapping critical information. I can never find the control I'm looking for even after having used it for ears. Their servers go down all the time. To tell you the truth... I think the only reason it got popular is because high school kids wanted something like facebook. There's no reason it should be as popular as it is. It's a complete fluke. I totally agree. Not only to people abuse the customization “feature,” it’s a complete hack that it works anyway.
