Lots of people will not post a real picture of themselves on a forum & lots will.



If you are one that doesn't, why don't you?



If you are one that does, why do you?
 
The only one I'll post is the one that's been on book covers and press releases.



So, no harm, no foul.

I don't have any pics of myself to post

Even if I did, though, I wouldn't. Ruins character immersion

I did it once and wound up regretting it and even had to get an attorney involved. I posted my picture and a psycho bitch stalker of mine nicked it. She took MY picture and started posting it on several forums (we were both members of) saying it was her. She was sent a cease and desist order from my attorney (which cost me $200) and only after that did she stop. I learned my lesson the hard and expensive way.
 
I'm hesitant in posting pictures of myself. Especially in the past when people have called me racist things to see a black person in the picture.
 
I have always posted a real photo of me funny thing no one beleives how old I am when they see it
 
I have posted my pic a few times but now I dont really see the need for it. Part of the fun of forums is being anonymous.

Could you do it one more time since I've seemed to have missed it!

I do, but only a few pictures I guess, don't want my baby pictures and other family members online or forums!

Aww, come on! I bet you were a very cute baby!
 
How about an updated picture of you with your First Coast look?

Guys....wtf. I thought y'all are married...

They are just online flirters..........................til one of them pays for a plane or train ticket or drives to the other one. Then I'm sure these types of posts will be a lot more interesting.

Never done it, never will. Do people no longer care about privacy??

There is no privacy on the net whether you post a picture of yourself or not. Correct?
 
There is if you use a VPN and don't reveal information about yourself.
 
I don't post pics of myself on forums. I only do it on Facebook as I only accept people as friends that I know in real life, but on forums I never do. If I recall correctly, I think I even have it on my FB page that only my friends that I accept can see my pics.
 
I don't because I am a very private person and I don't want people stealing pictures of me and posting them on the net.
