Not talking emails here as they are as personal as mail really, but this is a public forum and other forums. I've said stuff here I wouldn't want read by gfs but reading some of the recent posts, it wouldn't be hard to get the wrong end of the stick with how some people flirt, discuss problems and fool around here.

So do ya? Or do you keep this place a secret and clear the history after you leave the site?

This place is my dirty secret, alongside the masses of pornography I view.

she thinks this is all slightly juvenille...but she understands that something that lessens my refrencing or raising anything B-Boy's is welcome to her...I've also been warned never to post a picture...:rolleyes:

He knows I post here, I've shown it to him and told him which screen name is mine. I don't think he cares all that much. He probably doesn't even remember.

the wife is on another board and i dont ask her about that but she is quite open about it but i dont think she posts a lot. if i am spending a lot of time on here she sometimes asks what i am talking about but i dont think she's that arsed. .

In a way I wish we had a private forum, not open to the public and viewable only by those of us around here who already know each other.

I don't worry so much about my husband stalking me on here. It's more likely to be my sister and/or my mom and anything I say WILL be used against me later.

he knows. He has a forum he goes to as well. I just kind of shrug at it. If we both wanted to, we could snoop. But we don't because we really aren't concerned about it.

It's not a secret per se - I mean she knows I post "on the Beastie Boys board." I think she's just not that interested. All the same I still clear the history due to my slight case of neurosis over privacy.

I've had others in the past who thought of the board as my secret getaway community though I've been upfront and honest about this site (especially since I'm face to face friends with some here) so I'm not sure how it was a secret or why they thought I may be hiding it. They didn't care for it. Never made sense to me.

I like to keep the board a secret, but I do talk about it sometimes with my besties.

I bet if dude accidentally found it, he'd be weirded out but not enough to throw a fit or anything. he knows I'm a weirdo.

to be safe, I always always always clear my history and passwords. I mean, at home, my screenname comes up with the password saved, but he'd have to know my screenname first. which he doesn't.

I actually figure at this point, that I've posted sooo much, that it'd be hard for anyone to actually find anything worthwhile without digging for hours and hours. I don't know anyone who'd have the patience for that.

Good strategy, I slip in personal relationship problems once per every 1000th post.

where you do the opposite

My boyfriend doesn't read this, thank god. (Or do you, you little bitch? Yeah, I'm talking to you, sugarblood.) He knows all about it, though, and feigns interest in when I talk about my "board friends." I know he genuinely loves the awesome ones I have that he's met (and one of them introduced us, so thanks for getting me laid again, board!).

He definitely thinks I'm nerdy for it, and teases me to some degree, but overall he doesn't seem to care one way or the other about it. It's pretty much the same way for all my internetting. I'm pretty transparent about most things with him. Nothing to hide, but at the same time we respect the hell out of each others' privacy. Our email/fb accounts are usually open, but neither of us would ever go through the others'. Trust is nice. :)

I don't have an 'other half', but sometimes I get kinda creeped out by thought that some people might come here (or one of the other forums I'm on) and read my stuff.
The worst is a dutch forum I'm on, because sometimes I even get people coming up to me when I'm at work and saying that they've seen me on there. I've been on there for years and posted very very private stuff that no one of my friends or family know about, so sometimes I think 'what if...?'. It's kinda creepy.
A couple of months ago I even bumped into this girl who I occasionally replied to and we'd seen pics of eachother etc, but we never met. And then she asked me how things were with me and my best friend. 'Yeah, you were in love with him, wern't you?' and then I thought 'oh fuck'.
I even thought about getting my account deleted, because it dawned on me that EVERYONE can read my stuff, and know my 'secrets'. I've been a fool when I posted it, but sometimes you just don't realise what an impact it can have. :s

the trick is not to use your real name...

...oh, wait.

Or my trick is to not have any real life friends.

Also, do those that are single think about; what if you died in your sleep (or where ever I suppose) and they find all your porn while sorting out your stuff - if an after life did exist and you could feel guilty - would you?

Oh, I've totally thought about that. I worry less about porn and more about them finding the bad pictures of myself from over the years that I've tried to hide and/or my pathetic attempts at writing/poetry/song lyrics.

holy fuck, I didn't think of that. I also have pics of ex gfs they wouldn't want any1 else seeing...

Woah, I need to get some device that if my heart stops ticking certain things self destruct.

I don't have that much secret stuff on my computer, but I should probably write into my will that I want my best friend to throw my computer into the ocean if I die unexpectedly.

BBMB is just another myspace thats what I tell them. It practically shares the same idea of socializing.
