BabyGirl Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 [color=deeppink]My parents chewed me out one night for being online talking to James on AIM. They're so paranoid :p However, now that I'm away from them, they obviously have to trust that I'm not going to run and meet someone I've 'known' for a day and 'talked' to once. Duh. I only recently gave out my phone number to one person because based on two years and numerous photos, I trust him. There are probably only about three other people I'd ever give my number to, but that's the extent of the info I'd hand out. My address is definitely classifed information![/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaru Silverfire Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I live in an unpopulated area. I mean all you hear in the news is people that were kidnapped in places like LA or New York. I live far away from a big city, not to far but no one would go THAT far out of their way just to kidnap someone. (Unless it's Bill Gates's kids.) And I don't even go to the porn bot flooded chats like the people that were kidnapped. I go to the the chat RP. And no one I talk to online I have EVER met or seen. ~Xaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Samedi Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 (directed at Otakusennen)[dad]Come here now boy, your off anime and manga for the next 3 years. You'll become a violent individual if you read too much of that rubbish, and it is bad for you[/dad] lol My mum doesn't like it either. But the thing is, with MSN and AIM, the only people whose things you have is people who have personally given them to you. And most people on OB come from America, and it isn't like I am giving them my exact address or anything. Hell, 1 person on OB knows who I am, and he lives in the same town as me, and is my best bud. I agree that parents only have what they think are your best interests at heart, but on the flip-side they need to be able to trust you somewhat more. I know what I am doing. Hell, all I do on the net is email, MSN and OB. And if I did anything else, it would only be games. Nothing serious or dangerous there. But they do love you and want to look after you. *hits James* 'Put that sack down NOW!! I won't hop in the car with you, and SCREW YOUR 'SWEETIES" :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 [color=indigo]My mom used to be pretty paranoid about me talking to people on online forums. I was even banned from them for a while because my mom saw someone use a couple swear words in a post while I was looking through a thread. (Banned from them by my parents, that is, not actually banned on the forum). As if I don't hear worse from the movies they rent. Heck, they let me watch R rated movies with nudity in them. :rolleyes: After all that had blown over, though, I looked for a new forum to visit (and found this one), and started posting again. A few months later I ask my mom if it's alright that I'm on another message board, and she says it's okay. Now she seems completely fine with it, though I think telling her that I'm a super moderator and can ban people if they get out of line helped with that, heh. ^_^ As for giving out personal info, I only give out a very general location (such as northern CA, on myOtaku) to people I don't know all that well. If I get to know someone pretty well I'll give out my first name if they ask, but that's pretty much the extent of it. Though really, just giving out your name, first and/or last, isn't very dangerous. I mean, think about it; how often do you give out your name in person? And those people actually live in the same town as you and would have a much easier time tracking you down. In most cases, it's probably actually riskier to give out your name in person than it is to someone online. Personally, however, I wouldn't mind being kidnapped by James at all. ~_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stardust Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 My mom put the NetNanny on once.It sucked so bad.It blocked toysrus.com,I don't know what it found bad on that site but oh well,lol.Everytime I clicked a link it had the gay netnanny picture. Too bad my mom was stupid and never logged out of her account before she let me on. It's not like I do anything bad, but I do like to chat every once in awhile if I'm bored.

Baron Samedi Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 OK, maybe being kidnapped by James wouldn't be so bad. I dunno. two questions. Will I get to phone my mum, Will he Feed me yummy food, and will I get to use an awesome computer and still come on OB. *reads post* Damn, I can't count. o.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadow Mystik Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 your parents are very paranoid..as long as you dont tell them any personal info at all you are ok...i dont think it matters as long as they dont know where you live or your real name(first and last, first name only is fine)...you have very paranoid parents i think...just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ~(Neo-Bebop)~ Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Justin [/i] [B]Their intentions are good, and you should submit to them. However, I will not be this way with my children, and neither are my parents with me in any great degree. I may occasionally ask them who they're talking to, but not because I suspect that person of being a 45-year-old rapist. Your parents love you very much, and you should hold onto that while it's there for you you to hold onto. Decide whether they're wrong or right later on. -Justin [/B][/QUOTE] Stop reading your favorite book, the Bible -_-;; One thing: why should we submit to our parents? teenagers are SUPPOSED to be defiant of their parents. I'm sure that you, of all, Justin were a perfect child, got strait A's, made women come to your every beck and call ( it says women should obey men in the bible ), and cleaned your room RIGHT when they told you to, along with all your other shores, correct? Anyways. My parents aren't that upright becuase they KNOW they can't stop me since my cousin knows how to hack! MUAAAHAHAHAHAH!!! * Ahem * Well, once i did have to erease my AIM list or else i was grounded for life..But, i quickly got all my old friends back on my list ^_^.

Sure you [i]can[/i] be defiant, but it's not some written law in a teenager rule book, heh. Give your parents a break; a little disipline is good for you while you're growing up ^_~ ...And, by the way, don't criticize Justin when you don't even know him.

Guest Shadow Mystik Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 parents are gay, that is what kids think of them until they are gone and they realised what they have just lost...and every generation until the end will think that way. i don't mind my parents but i do disagree with them on more things than i agree on..(typical teenage mind set)as a teenager you are adolescent and arrogent, i guess none will understand how parents feel about their kids until they are parents themselves, and then our children will feel the same way we did growing up, but in the end, you basically grow into a person somewhat like your parents whether you like it or not. the parents of today are scared of the internet because of the press always talking **** about it, when really it isnt that bad. as neo bebops cousin, i know it is much harder to hack than many think, and much easier than some think. people cant just get exact location straight off the bat, i can, but that is a different story....most peoples parents are restrictive about inet because of dumb **** happening to people, you almost never hear positive things about the net. and if your really scared, get a damned firewall that works( NOT norton, it sucks)...but parents are parents and our kids will think the same of us when they are growing up..so we need to get over it these are my opinions, dont like em, dont read em ever again -Mystik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semjaza Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 First of all Double, was that even needed? It's like you're just egging people on to come and attack this guy. Obviously you didn't even attempt to read anything else he said, because even though the word choice was bad, the context wasn't. The first sentence alone makes that obvious. Secondly, Shadow Mystik... you've been banned before. I suggest you clean up your post quality because you're obviously on thin ice already. I can barely even read what you said.

James Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Shadow Mystik [/i] [B] edit: oh, and i know all the rules perfectly well, i have been going here for a while, new name [/B][/QUOTE] [color=#707875]If you knew all the rules perfectly well, you wouldn't have been banned previously. So you obviously are unaware of them. Either that, or you choose to break them. Understand this; when people sign-up to OB, they are, by default, [b]agreeing[/b] to all of our terms of service. That includes our rules. If you want to violate the rules, fine. But we can then exercise our right to ban you from the site. Your posts are difficult to read, you've broken any number of basic rules and you've registered on two accounts...you've also ignored a Category Moderator, who is a senior staffer on this site. I suggest that you find somewhere else to spam. It's not welcome here. Oh, and...~(Neo-Bebop)~, [i]you[/i] are also guilty of producing multiple acounts. [i]And[/i] you seem quite happy to fill this thread with meaningless tripe. I'm going to ban your IP as well. Don't think you can ignore the rules [i]and[/i] the staff and still happily post here.

Emme888 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Internet safety....very very important!!!! I use to talk to whoever IM'd me, and stuff. Then this one guy became too pushy in wanting to know where I lived and stuff... Totally creeped me out!!!!! So yeah, like i don't tell very much about myself and stuff. yeah, i only now talk to ppl who i think are ok and who don't press me on certain subjects....so yeah I pretty much keep to myself on the net...Except when talkin to my friends or when I'm on OB posting and stuff. People need to understand not to pressure other people into tellin information about themselves. They need to learn that "blocking" a person is a good indication that the person doesn't want to talk the person they blocked. I have ppl have their friends IM me, saying "please unblock "so and so""...and I have to say no. If I block u, it's usally for a good reason.... I keep to myself so I don't become in a situation that may turn worse... I do this for my protection..I hope everyone out there on the OB is staying safe. ~timshel~ Emme888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
