Ever think it's kinda weird that very few of us, if any of us, have ever met one another? And there is always the possibility that one of us could be horribly twisted and attempt to rape/kill us? It's kinda scary once you think about it.... so yea. Just discuss online safety here... and any experiences you have had... O.o

I was talking to a random guy once... or girl... he/she didn't tell. He/she gave me a link to a porn site and then asked if we meet up somewhere sometime. I said no. (of course) And I never heard from him/her again... O.o

<.< >.> O.o o.O
Is there? Chances are I'm a 58 year old man that is planning to rape you. But last time I checked, I'm not.

of course, no matter how many times we can promise something, no one will know. so uh...I do live near qwerty and listo...BUT I'M NOT A RAPIST/MURDERER!! <_< >_>
but see? no amount of yelling it or anything, could convince someone of me NOT being horribly twisted like that. there's always that chance.

I can't count how many times my mom said to stay away from Internet predators and rapists. Geez as if I'd get into a conversation with one.
*Wonders if anyone here is a rapist*

Yea, really. Ugh... I'm not supposed to talk to any of you... ...but I don't care. I like these forums because there aren't any ePredators... Or are there...? O.O

Well, all of us would have played pg to know about this, so there is a very small chance one of us will be a rapist...

I thank you. Although, one might accidently stumble upon this site.

Internet safety is not an important topic.
1: The likelihood of you meeting someone you saw online IRL is nearly impossible. 2: The likelihood that the person you meet happens to be a pervert is nearly impossible (though very few other people actually bother meeting each other). 3: If the internet doesn't want you to be safe, YOU WILL NOT BE SAFE.
Of course, you don't tell people where you live, who you are, what your interests are, etc. That's also why I dislike the 'userpage' infrastructure (myspace, facebook, etc.). Because putting all your personal info on the internet is SO INTELLIGENT.

That's why this is the only internet site I have signed up for, with few exceptions. Those exceptions are not for social networking sites, however, or any other sites similar to forums...
...of course, some of you would say that I withold too much information.

Same for me. I don't have an account on anything except these Forums, The Forums for the Elder Scrolls series, and an unused account on neopets.

Also, did your public school ever have some speaker come in and talk about internet safety?
They are arrogant and over dramatic. They talk like they know EVERYTHING about the internet and that EVERYONE, probably even friends and family, will rape you at the SLIGHTEST amount of information you give them.

Yes, they do that all the time!

Apparently if someone knows your name, they automatically know where you live and come to rape you. That's what school speakers tell us.

Thing is, unless a collaborative effort by all of the programmers on the internet is made, the likeliness of you getting raped by saying what color socks you are wearing will not get you raped.
Unlike what they say.
