When is too much personal information on internet forums too much?

Wow, you must have taken a long time on that post considering I edited about five minutes ago to minimize the likelihood of you posting again. I'd proceed to tell you why you're an idiot, but thankfully I'm no longer contractually obligated to do that.
Yeah, it took me ages to reply. What can I say? It was penetrating criticism.

YUO DONT NO WOT RUDUNDENT MEANS EHEHEHEHE

If you ask one more person to IM you, I'm going to reserve a special place for you on the banned list. I have no idea what the fuck your problem is, but knock it off.
And why the fuck would that be?

Do you want to see every thread I post in derailed by interweb 'nimrods' seeking to 0wznor me?

Talk about a fucking problem....

To answer the initial question, I guess it depends on the person. I don't come to GAF to tell my life story, just pertinent details when they apply to a topic... or personal stories if they apply....

At the same time, some of the personal stuff that's posted on the board (but not all, by any stretch), is pretty interesting.

But for me, it's different. I'm considered 'speshul'. People commit what I write to memory. Everything. They become obsessive. Stalking, impersonation - the works.
Come to think of it, we have several members here that get the same treatment. Subsequently, they tend to be among the most retarded and obnoxious.

As for you being special, I think that's par for the course concerning anyone from OA.

I think Oli's penis pics pretty much set the bar well beyond ANYONE'S reach.

Eh, it wasn't a particularly "high bar" if you get my drift... ;) :p


BWAHAHAHA :D


(and no, I still can't believe he posted those shots even now, months later)
 
*ANY* description of Olimario's member beyond an acknowledgment of those horrible, horrible pictures will net the speculator a ban.

I actually didn't get this joke...are you saying he's well hung?

No, actually the opposite, though only in jest; in fact, I've never even seen the actual dick pics, only the ones where it has some sort of pokemon or pikmin covering his package lol. I've never been particularly good at humor-- at least not on A VIDEOGAME FORUM ON THE INTERNET. ;) :D

Well, I'm fortunate that I can't give a description, then, because I've never seen it. :p I just wanted to get a (well-intentioned) dig in. :D

:lol

But I haven't. :) I've only seen them when they were reposted here, censored with pikmin. :p

That should tell you something. :)

But seriously, i guess you'd say he was average. i figured the thread would be good for laughs, but i didn't expect anyone to actually post pics of their members. :(

I can't believe you've morphed my respectible topic into an open discussion about olimario's wang.

This proves how better the OT is with its discussion, being that it's always serious and coherent unlike the Gaming forum

Next on the OT; Date's topic becomes coladeral damage in the war of words! Stay tuned!

Guilt by association is a logical fallacy. Now you know.

BTW, are you referring to 'Mina-Age'? I don't come from there, nor do I post there. But Loki and Lonestar do.

You lost me. Your saying its okay to post those repeatedly boring how deal with girl threads but posting pics of your pet is not?

I didnt say anything about girl advice threads, but yes, they are better than pictures of pets. It makes me feel better when I see someone who is less lucky/able than me women-wise.

i think it's a big waste of time, but in the same sense that watching tv is a waste of time or playing videogames is a waste of time. it's not really accomplishing anything, but at the same time it's something to do for entertainment.

Besides the fact that this was a dumb thing to point out considering, you were "guilty" in that you already called yourself "special". I just implied that it was of the retarded kind. Now you know.

What "Age" did you post at before coming here? None of the off-shoot ones need to be distinguished.

Oh, and Lonestar would qualify, though Loki has disappointed me.

Heh, I've made < 50 posts there in the last 4 months (as compared with over 1100 here). :lol I only post when I feel it necessary. :p Though yes, my IQ has consequently dropped appreciably. :D


I guess I'm just ok with filtering out the BS (of which there is tons) and finding content-- however scant-- which appeals to me. :) There are a few decent people over there, believe it or not, though the general tenor of discourse is admittedly quite abrasive.
