Opening up on the General Discussion forum
Really talking about your problems.
Laying out all the cards.
Posing belly up.
I think "gee, what if somebody I know would read this?" The chance is similar to that of Sara Michelle Gellar having wild sex with a random hobo in the next episode of Buffy, that's true, but still.
Doesn't anybody else think about this and worry?

It's quite likely that someone I know will read this forum, as I know Giles, for instance.

There are the chance of somebody going into my PC, and then finding the URL, and just go there. I never log out, so that had been kinda
But still, there's nothing posted here that would get me any trouble, at least not anything big. The few persons who really know me know all off "this", the others i really don't care much about anyways.
Oh, and i don't really open that much up, i just whine a lot about things that have never happened, as i only go out once a week for some milk

yeh... but everyone already knows you're a fag, so for you it doesn't matter much
I don't worry.... same as what Muslim said. People I care about reading that stuff aren't really into this whole interweb thing.
And I usually don't post things that I wouldn't dare say in real life too.

I've posted some stuff personal to me before, which is nothing that my close friends wouldn't already know about me.
None of my friends play PA, so I doubt there is anything here that would connect the nick 'Woof' to an actual guy in the street.
Even if there was, it wouldn't bother me too much.
Sometime it's good just to be able put your thoughts into words to a bunch of strangers!

I rarely post specifics.
I post rants which "get it out my system"
The only person who reads this i live with at Uni so its hardly 'new news' to him.

The people on this board knows me better than anyone.
Which isn't really saying much.

This forum has always lacked the presence of female posters (deluded exceptions excepted)
(Luckily for us true men), some of the male posters around here are quickly adapting to fill the gap.

No one I know posts on this forum. The closest person to me is cnaw, and even then I've never met him.
So in other words, it's safe to tell you all the little dirty secrets I have.

when i was going through 'tough times' with my ex i worried a bit that he might read it. especially when we were living together
but other than that i really don't care who reads it and what they think.

a) its easier than telling the same damn story to everyone on irc
b) it gets it out of my system
c) it lets the few people here i consider my friends know

This is me.
However, I tend not to go into specific's - it's not worth the abuse it causes. (The whole sunday/Mer incident as a case in point).

to be fair, sunday8pm is a special case. Theres "**** on the internet" at which level you throw in people like witless twat, and then theres a whole level for sunday8pm and shai-gar to occupy.

I never fully understood what happened to Mer.
Is it ok to ask what actually happened?

Mer had posted about her dog being ill and that he was actually dieing, Sunday8pm seized upon this infomation to relentlessly troll her. Viscious, quite nasty stuff indeed as I recall. This resulted in Mer leaving, and Sunday8pm being banned.
It should be noted that that was not the sole reason Mer decided to leave (as you'll recall Messiah left along with her), but it was perhaps the thing that finally made up her mind.

This was more of a result of Mer being oversensitive and Sunday being an idiot though, rather than a problem with opening up on a forum.
The only problem is that too many people I know in "RL" read this forum now, so I can't post my love poems anymore.
