    More like 426!.. it's very easy to lose track of it isn't it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Flukey


    It is a common thing. People don't bother. You'll see the same on other types of boards and things like Yahoo or MSN Messenger, ICQ etc.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    mine's filled in

    does anyone read them anyway?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭Bottle_of_Smoke


    It's not that people can't be arsed, theres just not much point. The site's about discussing stuff, not making friends. A profile could cause people to make reservations about someone's opinion too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,836 ✭✭✭Vokes


    I have a look at them now and then. Mostly to see how what sort of age a particular poster is.

    yeah like anyone born in may (esp the second of may) and lives in Drumcondra and drinks their wages knows nothing and nobody should listen to their opinions as they are talkin out of their elbows!!! :D (kiddin!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


    I think some people just might not want you to know whether they're a guy or a girl. For example,if you get into a debate with someone on boards,it shouldn't matter if you're a guy or a girl but it might to whoever you're arguing with I suppose.....
    In saying that,I obviously don't care who knows I'm female but I just don't see the reason for telling where you're from or what age you are. Age discrimination is a factor too...

    you're a chick? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Some of the profiles can be quite interesting, others are quite bizarre. Some of the sigs are great though. I can't remember who it was, but someone had as his sig these hilarious transcripts of some guy who was cybering with several women and on one occasion he acts like a pirate and asks the woman to go "Aarggh!" numerous times.

    Anyone know the user I'm talking about?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


    Also OP,by looking at people's posts,you can surely find out more about them than you can from a public profile.


    Well not just by looking at them,by reading them.... :D

    ^^^ this guy will believe anything :D


    I'd have to choose the laziness option. Also I don't go round filling in my personal information into every form I find on the internet.

    A great quality in any person tbh, but mostly abused by others imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    Well for a site like Boards that I visit regularly then I do fill in the profiles. Granted the last time I editted my interests and stuff was about a year a go but at least I made the effort :D

    You know the way you can fill in your mobile number? How come it's not there when you fill it in?

    well unless you wanted every peado ringing you up not to mention that phrank people play by putting a number on the bus with "free sex" written over it.

    I know but I mean, if you fill it in and it's not there, then whats the point in you filling it in. In the mean time I've read the thread in FeedBack, and I know all about it now. Gimmick if you ask me.

    TBH id say its a kinda trap by the admins, for contacting people who say get banned and keep being abusive, maybe


    other than that is probably a service for telling you when youve new PM's


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    It's pretty much pointless, as phones develop, new ones have big displays, and u will be able to view full internet pages, thus allowing you to read ur pm's and not needing this alert service.

    yeah your right on there, its a secret ploy i tell you, devore is up to something

    either that or the admins are looking for some hot ladies to do there buisness on;)
