Do you look at other Boards users profile page and if so why?

#1 · 24-05-2014 12:01PM #1

So opened my profile page earlier and noticed the recent visitorsbox that shows you the most recent posters to look at your profile page. Which got me thinking as to why these posters were looking at my profile page?

The only times i ever really look at someones profile page is usually due to accidentally clicking on their username or so sometimes when i see a familiar poster has been banned or closed their account just as a curiousity to see what their most recent posts were to maybe shed some light on why they got banned or closed their account.

It's only very very rarely i'd go to search through someones post for any other reason.

So for those of you that do, what reasons do you usually look at another users profile page for?

Because boobs and or possibility of boobs.

To see where they live.....

Mr. Incognito · 24-05-2014 12:03PM

Where's the poll?

I love surveys for useless vacuous wonderings.

We need to get to the bones of this issue.

LynnGrace · 24-05-2014 12:03PM

Accidental clicks, in my case.

Is there a secret Boards Gonewild forum i don't know about?

Pwindedd · 24-05-2014 12:05PM

I don't know why either, yours gives nothing away. Apart from location. Had to look, sorry !

Techno_Toaster · 24-05-2014 12:05PM

For funsies

Maphisto · 24-05-2014 12:07PM

Like you, by mistake, if I'm trying to click on a post and hit the username by mistake. Must learn to not mash the mouse. :pac:

I don't recall ever seeing anything remotely interesting though.

Grandpa Hassan · 24-05-2014 12:07PM

Accidental clicks all the time as the screen on the iPhone moves as the advert banner loads up. So what you clicked (tapped) on is not what you intended

If someone filled in all the info in the About me section they'd really want a hard lesson on internet security.

Maybe you've been nominated for a private forum and the current members are looking you up to see if you're good enough for them :P

To look at their most thanked post and laugh.

Or I'm silently judging your application :pac:

FullblownRose · 24-05-2014 12:16PM

Ive never acidentally clicked through. I might have looked at 5 or so profiles because i thought i might know the user. ive had 344 visitors and i havent directly conversed with most of them.

jubella · 24-05-2014 12:16PM

Accidental clicks, or sometimes I do a bit of detective work if I think I might know someone in real life :pac:

longhalloween · 24-05-2014 12:17PM

To point out hypocrisy.

This. Usually accidental clickes, sometimes "detective work", but then I get paranoid about them figuring out who I am if they see I looked at there page :pac:

Same. Only reason I'd ever click someone's profile or *shudder* ads.

Auld Granny tits aren't good. Sorry.

Lads, how does the star system work under our usernames? :pac: I really don't get it!

That's the reason I never should have called myself that! Too honest
If I called myself Tits McGee I could pretend to be 25 and drive all the young lads here mad:)

"Accidental clicks" me arse.

You're all a bunch of stalkers, be honest.

Something to do with the number of posts you have, hit a certain target, get another one.

Subscribers get red stars.

If you subscribe you get those fancy pink stars.

Then I guess it's simply the more posts you have the more stars you get.

But you nearly have 5000, I've 800 and something, and we have the same amount of stars...? Bit of a silly system really.

I think 4 stars might be subscribers and 5 stars for mods,admins etc. At least i think thats how it works anyway.
