K Byte · December 2010

1. Have you ever been a member of an internet forum prior to TK? If so, what?
Oh yeah, lots and lots. I've been a member on Gamefaqs for ALMOST 10 YEARS, I can't even believe it. I have an account on Television Without Pity but I don't really post there, I just read them. And a few other various forums too but I really only keep up with this and Gamefaqs.

2. Have you ever met anyone you first met online irl? If so, how many?
Yeah quite a few people.

3. Would you ever use an online dating site?
I would now if I were single. Actually I met H originally on Myspace.

I think just Facebook. I deleted my Myspace because I didn't use it after H and I got serious, and thought it was lame.

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.)?
I had/have a Livejournal but I deleted all the entries and I never use it. I only use the account to post/comment in Oh No They Didn't.

6. Have you ever been harassed online?
Not really

7. How many e-mail accounts do you have? When did you first get an e-mail address?
I have 3 that I use on a somewhat regular basis (one for everything, one just for WR-stuff which I'll probably let go away now that I'm married, and one that I just use for professional communications and job-related stuff).

8. Have you ever participated in online gaming? If so, what game/s?
I played Gaia and Neopets for a few years lol. How lame am I?

2. Have you ever met anyone you first met online irl? If so, how many?

My husband

3. Would you ever use an online dating site?
Probably. DH and I met on FB though which might as well count since we talked for weeks before ever meeting IRL.

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

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.)?
I have one! It's all about being married to a medical student even though it sometimes ends up just being about my life in general.

Yeah. I had to get rid of my MySpace because some crazy girls were saying they were going to find me in the street and "f*Ck me up."

7. How many e-mail accounts do you have? When did you first get an e-mail address?

Technically 6 but I only use 4. That sounds like a lot but I changed my last name when I got married so I have two yahoo accounts with my diff last names, my schol email and my work email.

8. Have you ever participated in online gaming? If so, what game/s?
Nope!

mehgank · December 2010

1. Have you ever been a member of an internet forum prior to TK? If so, what?

Yes, I was on Honest Forum (a site for designer jdenim) for quite a while, and before that I hung out for years on bolt.com/bolt2.com/helldot.com (it went through many changes over the course of a decade) which is actually where I met two of my bridesmaids LOL.

2. Have you ever met anyone you first met online irl? If so, how many?

Yes, one of my bridesmaids I've met a couple of time IRL, and the other bridesmaid I met online I will be meeting IRL at the wedding. It'll be kinda weird at first, but we've been internet and phone friends since we were 13 years old, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

3. Would you ever use an online dating site?

I don't think so. I've never had a problem getting dates IRL, so I don't think it would ever come to that.

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

Just one (FB). I deleted my myspace a couple months ago because I never used it and I was getting weird stalkerish messages from strangers, and I've never had a Twitter account. It just seems pointless since I already have a 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.)?

Yes, I have a food blog that I started three and a half years ago. I haven't posted much recently becuase over the past few years I've developed a pretty sturdy repertoire of cooking, so I cook a lot of the same stuff over and over again. Plus, my kitchen is too damn tiny to do a lot of the more complicated recipes that I used to try out back in the day.

6. Have you ever been harassed online?

Yes, by FI's exGF that he was dating before me and a couple of her loser friends. It was completely high school (mind you, this woman is almost five years older than me) and I never replied back. They just kept sending me hate messages on myspace once they found out we got engaged. Totally childish.

7. How many e-mail accounts do you have? When did you first get an e-mail address?

I have two: work and yahoo. I first got an email account when I was 13, but I shared it with my mom till I learned how to get my own a year later.

8. Have you ever participated in online gaming? If so, what game/s?
No, I prefer our XBOX 360. PC gaming just isn't my style. I sit on a computer all day at work, so it seems kind of odd to me to sit on a computer all evening at home too. I guess that's why we haven't had internet installed at home since I moved out here over a year ago.

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.)?
My friends and I all tried to do Live Journals (back in 2003) when we graduated high school so we could keep in touch, but that lasted less than a year.

6. Have you ever been harassed online?
By my brother's friends, but they were pretty obvious about it so it was never scary, just annoying.

3 - one work, one personal (with my name), and one with my gamer name for server/forum Admin duties.

8. Have you ever participated in online gaming? If so, what game/s?
TF2, lately I've been getting into Minecraft (even though its rather pointless), and I used to play The Ship and Guild Wars until I got TF2. I do enjoy watching my FI play PS3 and Xbox360 games cuz I am sh*t with a controller.

Nope, this was my first one, and I never thought I'd still be here posting all this time later.

2. Have you ever met anyone you first met online irl? If so, how many?
Oh yes. My now-husband and 6 wonderful knotties. I hope to meet a couple more.

3. Would you ever use an online dating site?
If I was still single, probably.

Only FB at this point (deleted Myspace, etc.). Is there really anything else at the same level going on right now?

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.)?

6. Have you ever been harassed online?
Not really

7. How many e-mail accounts do you have? When did you first get an e-mail address?
Four - student, junk, personal, and professional. I got my first email account during my first year of college in 1998. I don't know what it's like to grow up in grade school with email.

8. Have you ever participated in online gaming? If so, what game/s?
No, I'm not into the MMORPGs and whatnot. I primarily play Wii and Xbox360.

I used to play Quake and Doom online all the time. I'm not an active online gamer right now.

Celles · December 2010

1. Have you ever been a member of an internet forum prior to TK? If so, what? Yes, several. I used to moderate an anime-themed forum that my ex-boyfriend administrated. I hate most anime (Cowboy Bebop being the notable exception!), but I did it to be supportive and was eventually drawn into the community. I met several people from that forum IRL at an anime convention in Boston -- including the guy I left my then-boyfriend for. (Yes, I was that girl.)

I have also been active on a local community forum, my guild forums, and from time to time the WoW forums as well.

2. Have you ever met anyone you first met online irl? If so, how many? Many, including my FI.

3. Would you ever use an online dating site? No. I don't judge people who do, of course, but it isn't for me. I have never actually gone looking for love and I can't imagine I'd start if I were suddenly, magically single again.

4. How many social networking sites are you a part of? Just Facebook. I have a Twitter account, but it's tied to my WoW blogging name and I seldom use it.

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.)? I have a WoW blog. I used to be fairly well known in the community -- I was linked on WoW Insider fairly often -- but I've been on hiatus for a long while.

6. Have you ever been harassed online? Yes.

7. How many e-mail accounts do you have? When did you first get an e-mail address? I have several, but they all forward into my Gmail account.

8. Have you ever participated in online gaming? If so, what game/s? WoW is my only gaming vice, but it's a big one.
