    Why do people visit my profile?
    On your boards.ie profile page there's a little thing that tells you who the last ten visitors were.
    I don't have a clue who any of these people are and I think I have only ever interacted with one of them on this site. It creeps me out, why are people so interested in me? All I do is talk ****e, surely my post history isn't that interesting?
    Its creeping me out, what is your fascination you weirdos!

    I've visited quite a few profiles by accident.

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    I often click on a name when I'm trying to click on a title or something else.

    A few times I've read an interesting post and looked up what else the poster has to say though, but mainly I'm an accidental visitor.

    Yes, I also frequently visit people's profiles by. . . er. . . accident.:o

    I thought starting this thread would make me LESS paranoid.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,640 ✭✭✭Pushtrak


    I rarely look at profiles. Last time I did so, it was because a person had posted something dumb, I asked for a follow up, and when a good while had gone, I wanted to see if they had posted elsewhere and likely avoiding responding or if they just rarely post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    when reading boards on my phone i frequently click peoples username by mistake as i scoll down the touchscreen

    Another accidental visitor here....happens a lot with the touch site, but also when I go to click on the little box which bring you to your last point in a thread I sometimes click on the posters name.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,558 ✭✭✭seven_eleven


    Becuase people go through your post history to find any dirt on you, or if they want to know who you are in real life.

    Personally I wish post history wasn't something other users could see.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,648 ✭✭✭Cody Pomeray


    Presumably it's usually done to judge whether someone is worth replying to, or if they're just trolling the fcuk out of the place.

    Interesting, I see 7 of the last 10 people who visited you profile were CMods or admins using invisible mode. What have you been up to?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 358 ✭✭Weevil


    I visit myself accidentally a lot using the touch site.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 233 ✭✭Mary28


    Yeah I've visited a good few by accident when trying to click on threads when on the iPad/iPhone. Off to check mine now to see who's visited me, no doubt by accident too as I'm not the most interesting of posters.

    Erm, not sure if you were up to any switch my webcam on sillyness...but just in case...so I was writing in my diary and my pen started leaking... and erm, since it was very warm and no one else was around I thought I'd take the ol' clothes off a bit..because of the heat. Anyway, you probably didn't see the ink spill on to my penis but it did and that's why I was rubbing it so furiously. I didn't get it all off in one go so if you saw me any other time that was the reason for what you saw. So... yeah. There it is. Thanks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    It's a handy way of keeping track of who you have annoyed recently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 620 ✭✭✭MomijiHime


    Because stalking people is fun. You want to find out more about people on here that catch your eye.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,491 ✭✭✭looking_around


    why you worried about who's visited your profile? >_>

    I can't remember the last time I looked at who's 'visited' my profile. I just don't care.

    I just noticed it when looking for an old post.
    I haven't exactly been making waves, so why are people watching me?!?
    I wish they would atleast leave a visitor message :(

    No you have not! :P

    or y'know, open it in an incognito window..

    or y'know, open it in an incognito window..
    why would that work?

    I know why 9/10 looks at mine.

    Tabnabs was the latest, gave me a silly infraction so I told him to just go ahead and ban me. Better than having to look at lazy moderating.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,571 ✭✭✭newmug


    OP why do you care who looks at your site? Its not as if anyone can figure out who you are in real life. And even if they could, again, why would you give a b0llocks?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,091 ✭✭✭Antar Bolaeisk


    I just like looking.

    I like to see posters most thanked posts, they're always pretty funny.

    I'm a bit of a creep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,640 ✭✭✭Pushtrak


    why would that work?
    If you open an incognito window, you are logged off. It'd be just like you signed out of boards and went to their profile, but still had a window with you logged in open. I've never done this, mind. Not that I'd need to, as I have my setting to invisible anyway. And, no, not for profile stalking.


  • Posts: 3,505 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I only really look at people's profile if I think they're an idiot.

    I do it to look at their previous posts in the hopes that I'll find more material to mock/disagree with. I'm petty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,565 ✭✭✭losthorizon


    I noticed that the last two people to look at my profile were fart and flying outside. Ironic that. Especially as it looked like one word when I looked at it.

    I have often hit a post and by accident hit the persons title. I am using an ipad it's really annoying sometimes but that's how I end up viewing people's profiles. I mean why else would u view it

    same issue as candie.

    for some reason when clicking on a thread title some times it will go to the profile of the thread OP,rather than go to the thread.:confused:

    I have noticed that a user named sabonito seems to have visited a hell of a lot of profiles. Almost 3000 users must have been curious about who they were and why they were been visited and so checked out their profile in return. Are they some kind of bot, perhaps? Whoever you are, please don't hurt us, we mean no harm.

    On my phone I'm as likely to click on someones profile as I am to scroll down the page. That or I think a person is a troll so check other posts to see.
