People Viewing Your Profile Constantly...

    I reckon the girls get this a lot more than the lads. But does it really creep you out when you have certain people constantly pop up in your 'Who Viewed Your Profile' section? I wouldn't even mind if I posted that regularly, but aside from the odd topic that catches my interest or the odd night I'm bored, I tend to just browse.

    I know one chap who uses an alias, and have been tipped off who he is in real life, since realising that every single time I've looked on my profile for a good year now his name has been there (regardless of who else the other 9 have been). He might just want the dick but who knows? Maybe him and a couple others will get the hint that I'm not DTF after reading this.

    Anyone else get obsessively creeped here?

    why does it bother you that much?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,571 ✭✭✭Aoifey!


    No, because I don't obsessively check who last viewed my profile.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


    :eek: People do what now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord

    Jaysus, I wouldn't obsessively do it now, by any means. Just when the internet starts to run out of cat videos and I'm looking to click buttons for the sake of it. Like right now..:D;):p:)
    time for bed.

    There are a few profiles I visit from time to time — racists and keyboard terrorists mostly. Their posts and the reaction they generate can be wildly entertaining. I guess what I'm saying is maybe he thinks you're the weirdo freak :)

    Been paid a visit by one or two of the mods for being a bold boy. If i had been in when they called they would have got a cup of tea and a biscuit.

    I can safely say I'd sooner kill myself than thinking "oooh, I must do my weekly check of (e.g.) AhSureTisGrand's profile". But, whatever people are into...maybe you're onto something! I guess the whole racist-stalking phase passed me by.

    Eh OP you do realise that you have your Facebook, Twitter and other accounts listed in your sig? If you get attention it's your own fault.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    don't care about profile views, I got a lot of 'em, but it's the private messages I get sometimes... those can be creepy.

    Yeah, see it makes sense for mods to check profiles. That's about it. But, like I said, I might be out of touch with what all the cool kids do on the net these days. I only learned yesterday that poking meant someone wanted to push your love buttons.

    What are private messages?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,670 ✭✭✭✭Wolfe Tone

    That's why it would baffle me as to why people would seek a further outlet to get information about me. I'm not that interesting! I chastise everyone who follows me on my Twitter feed on a daily basis for having nothing better to do with their time.

    Ooh I'm not as organised as that. It's more of a random impulse thing, like "I wonder what swastikalady has been up to since I last visited. Maybe I'll start an argument with her again"

    Well I do enjoy arguing with ladies who appreciate those nasty swastika's...

    Sir/madam, you may have just inspired a brand new, fulfilling, chapter of my life.

    I always figured it was people accidentally clicking on my username instead of a thread.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭cocoshovel
