well- i must say that i am having waaaaaaay too much fun over at tangler games.

but nobody can replace my buddies here.
:D

is that so much different to these forums here ?
some of us have invited some of us and having party every night - or something like this - I have heard - not that I would be a lady of that party-nights - nooo
oouch getting weird again - need a coffee

graylox, tangler has private messaging between people on invitation only, so that means "no open net". Is that what you mean?

Sorry, I think it's okay exchanging pics, but I wouldn't do it open in the net.

I think we should put this thread to bed. It's just curiosity that makes us want to see who we are enjoying spending time with and becoming friends with. If there is still an interest in exchanging photos we could arrange to meet in a thread like http://www.tangler.com/ where they allow members to request contact with one another. Do you think this is a good compromise?

Sorry for intruding...but graylox does make a point here..
But ...some of you are probably closely related.So why don't you mail these pics to someone you know and let him publish it anonymously or with initials?

Just an idea....

PS Don't worry I wont be coming back to this thread. :)

graylox - As long as the paste my head on something like this I'd be alright with it.

will anybody be the laugh of the day next year ? like this :

or will you, that your face is copied and pasted to any"body" which isn't yours ?

one time in the net means for ever in the net - you can't take it back

sorry, if I spoiled the party

HOSS, "I am not a weirdo." That's what they all say! LOL

You are probably right. If someone really wants to find something out about someone there are ways to do it. But I don't think we really have to worry about it because it's not like we are desirable targets.

Is a photo and a screen name enough to give any "wierdos" the info needed to harass or stalk anyone? All we really know is what members put in their profiles. As long as real names and addresses aren't posted I don't see a problem, but then, I am not a weirdo. :)

Have heard nothing back from GOTD yet.

well, if gaotd's gods approve this in the first place, that gives Bubby tacit permission to help, discreetly..

i'm not too worried about my photo being "out there". the password thing is a whole other matter. maybe one of the mods or administrators (ahem.....bubby) would be willing to PM the passwords to those involved.

first- I certainly don't have photo one back that far, there went the idea up in flames- literally- back in 1982.

second, the 'generic' factor of pre-teens.

and what exactly is the big deal about probably (certainly uncertain) outdated photos, or even current ones?

I 'get' the weirdos but how likely is it to actually be a problem, considering we can't convince most grasshoppers to post questions in the forums at all? or check back, for that matter?

Not sure if I totally understand the original premise - but wouldn't the associated problems mentioned (ie: a recognizable photo of oneself loose on the internet) be eliminated if - just for fun - we limit the age of the person - at the time the photo was taken - to "under 10 years old" or so?

It's not exactly what was originally intended, but might be safe fun (unless I totally misunderstood what we're talking about - a distinct possibility!).

that sucks.
:(

That is so funny. I saw that Ultraphonic post and thought, "hmmmmm, here's some new person we know nothing about, like how long they've been lurking." Good grief it's just you, Lockett. Tricky tricky!

Ya little snot! It still makes you wonder who could be out there. :D

It's true!

Oh, never mind, then. I'm Lockett.

After that post above, I'm thinking this game could attract a lot of weirdos. Maybe we shouldn't do it. It's apparent that anyone can join the forums. Just because the regulars are only ones posting that doesn't mean there aren't hundreds of lurkers. I watched the forum for almost a year before really getting onto it.

Funky - If we would have an account for everyone to use, we would have to post the log in information in the forum for all to see. Anyone visiting the forum would have access to the account.

Gray & Copmom.....I thought about that too. Then I thought, well, we're not attaching any personal info to the pictures, but OTOH we've already shared a lot of personal info in other threads. We want to think that everyone we're friends with here is as "nice" as we percieve them, but the fact is you just never know. It's someting to really think about before we commit to this. I was all for it, but now you have me wondering......guess I'll have to run it by hubby and see what he thinks.

photobucket accounts can be marked private. only those with access can view. i get e-mails from photobucket (i did sign up) very, very rarely.

over 13 sounds good. as does 1 pic.

On 2nd thought I tend to agree with graylox.. didn't think about the open net!

GUESSWHOIAM

Puzzles are fun, but I will skip this one. Sorry, maybe I'm too slow to understand the rules, but no pic in the open net.

Good.....you could post a pic of your wife (or significant other)

Maizey....13+ sounds good IMHO

hmm. yeah, best to keep it anonymous. I'm pretty sure I have my yearbooks around. :)

If you get the OK from GOTD , I'm in, and I agree with buckleysmom, I think just one picture would be plenty or it would get too confusing. Just my opinion.

Bobby - No, but I will right now!
