Poll of the Internet variety.

Fortunee · December 2010

1. Have you ever been a member of an internet forum prior to TK? If so, what? Yep, just one. Associated with an online gaming community I was a part of.

2. Have you ever met anyone you first met online irl? If so, how many? Tons and TONS of people. The game I used to play had meetups everywhere, and I went to basically all of them.

3. Would you ever use an online dating site? I have before, met FI on an online dating site.

4. How many social networking sites are you a part of? Just FB.

5. Have you ever had a blog? If so, was it just a general blog or do you focus on one thing (cooking, wedding planning, etc.)? Nope, unless my old LiveJournal counts?

6. Have you ever been harassed online? Eh, yeah. Through LiveJournal. Some guy who liked me got pissed when I started dating someone else, and sent all his crony friends after me.

7. How many e-mail accounts do you have? When did you first get an e-mail address? Just one that I use right now, I've had as many as 4. I think back in middle school or so?

8. Have you ever participated in online gaming? If so, what game/s? Yep. I used to be BIG into this game called Kingdom of Loathing, and was big in the community. I also used to play Puzzle Pirates a bunch. Now all my friends from both of THOSE games are trying to convert me to WoW.

TheCranberry · December 2010

1. Have you ever been a member of an internet forum prior to TK? If so, what? Yes. My first that I was really active on no longer exists. It was focused on celebrity gossip, but we talked about other things. I post on Televisionwithoutpity and a few others now.

2. Have you ever met anyone you first met online irl? If so, how many? No.

3. Would you ever use an online dating site? I don't know. I've been dating FI for so long. Maybe.

4. How many social networking sites are you a part of? Only Facebook

5. Have you ever had a blog? If so, was it just a general blog or do you focus on one thing (cooking, wedding planning, etc.)? No. I have a LJ account, but I don't post on it. I just use it to keep track of fanfiction. Nerd!

6. Have you ever been harassed online? Yes, but not that bad. Someone from the celebrity board I was on would message me constantly about meeting them in person. I had initially agreed to go to a board GTG but canceled. The person was very annoying from that point on. That's why I don't reveal my true identity in online forums.

7. How many e-mail accounts do you have? When did you first get an e-mail address? 6 (including my work email address). I got an email account in high school. 14 years ago!

8. Have you ever participated in online gaming? If so, what game/s? I played Legends of Kesmai back in the day. I don't know a lot about WoW, but from what I understand it may be similar. It was an RPG, and I was a mage. There were guilds, but I wasn't one. I ran up quite the bill on my mom's AOL account.
