1. What is the longest you have been with a message board (posting or reading – days, weeks, months etc)

This one, since 3rd April 2001

2. Do you start topics? Why? - What do you gain from entertaining/enlightening/isulting the ppl here, who you've never met and can call most strangers?

I want to hear peoples opinions, I guess. And sometimes I want to collect information.

3. Do you care about the number of replies you get for your topic? Why?

Well, it shows that folks are interested in what I have to say and ask.

4. What do you gain from posting replies?

Showing I'm interested, that I *care* about the other members.

5. Do you care about the opinions of others at a board? Why?

Well, even though I can't see them IRL, I know they're real persons...

6. Do you care about the number of posts you have? If so, then what do you believe it says about a person?

Well, I think it shows that I want to show people how 'experienced' I am.

7. Do you post truthfully?

Mmm... Most of the time, though I might give a slight swirl at the truth if it doesn't matter THAT much to the essence, the truth of my reply.

8. Why do you think people spam?

Out of boredness, to have a little fun. Or when they're really p!ssed off.

9. Do you get into conflicts? Why?

Not really, only if I get dragged into them or if I'm defending something I wholeheartedly stand behind.

10. At a board, is it worse to be ignored or to be hated?

... To be ignored I think. It makes you feel unexisting. At least, if you're *hated*, people know you exist... though still, it's not fun.

11. Is your personality/identity/image/actions at a message board different from when you’re with family or friends? If so, then how? Is it closer to the ‘real’ you? Are they different at different boards?

Well... firstly, I don't go at other boards much of the time. Secondly, I think I'm *slightly* more open than in real life. Also, if I wouldn't have said it, no-one would know I wear glasses, or when at home, can get quickly irritated. (*cough*lil' bro*cough*)

12. Do you feel like you know the people at a message board?

Not too much, I know how they act, but I've only come been here for two, maybe three years.

13. Are there people you’ve met at a board that you consider friends as much as real life friends?

No... I don't interact much with other members beside replying... There are maybe only a small 10 peeps I've PMed with.

14. What qualities do you look for in your signature, account name and profile?

... To reflect my hidden personality, more precise: my fantasized behaviour as Real Pokémon Trainer.

15. Why do you think people post the names of their clubs and board friends in their sigs?

To flatter those friends and to show they like the clubs and members, and to invite others to visit the club.

16. Would you like to be a mod? Why?

Well... The wish is always present, but I might not be too capable. (Of course I'd never know for sure if I haven't been modded ) Why? The *power*, the new options... The ability to enter The Private Forums. *dum-dum-dumdum!!*
