What do your real-life friends know about what you do on
the internet?
E.g. do they know you post here, and under what name?

discuss

i think that it depends on friends - my are not interested
in IDM at all , so there;s no point for talking about this
bosrd with them . if you know what i mean...

They know I'm on here a lot and a few of them have signed
up. They know I look at a lot of porn too. In fact my friend
is on a site so she's beaten me.

My girlfriend knows about xltronic although she hates
electronic music. Other than xltronic my usage is mostly
academic apart from the odd web comic.

Though most of them don't know it, this board has been of
great benefit to my mates as it's a constant source of
information regarding all sorts of things. And of course
this is how I discovered Soulseek. All my mates use MSN more
than anything, and I don't use it all - I use Soulseek for
conversation - so they don't know what rooms I use or
anything like that. Thankfully.

i know they know that one of my screennames is uzim, but i
don't know if all know my other one (lumnaya). i think they
don't know the messageboards i'm posting on.

anyway i only see my friends in real life very rarely,
unless we meet on the internet ' _ '

.......

i can only remember one friend i have who doesn't have
internet (it's my cousin... he is, like 20+ years old now
and i only see him rarely... i wish i'd see him more often
but i don't even know where he lives now, he used to live at
the house next to my grandparent's house but not anymore
now)... there were some people i cared about, but when they
don't have internet i (sadly) lose their track... : (

i guess i'm a better person on the internet than in real
life too.

Jesus giginger ! You need to get some lemon gin and drunk up
your friend !!!

Yeah all my friends think I "HACK" because I dont think they
know what the internet is. Seriously maybe 2-4 of my friends
own computers or have used one.

They have come in my room before and its the running joke
amungst all of them. I own like a zillion racks and drum
machines so the BLINKING LIGHTS don't really help my case.
Also the empty pop cans, star wars figures , ect ect.

All my friends know I belong to Xltronic, But they mostly
have no clue of what the site is about and or, like Nac, how
much time I spend here. =)

some of them know the name "joyrex" or "xltronic" or
"wattem" or whatever coz sometimes I tell them jokes or
whatever that get posted there, y'know, if it fits in the
cionversation.

I don't think they know I call myself od or anything, they
know I am orange dust though.

Well, two of my cousins have accounts here, Coyote and
Giraffepancakes. It's my homepage so they see it all the
time (and Coyote started a HUGE ''Meaning of Life topic
once).
