it is nice to be able to see the age of, or where the member is from.
Don't want to be nosey.
I think it is just nice to have some insight into who people are.

IMO, a lot of people don't want to give up their anonymity. Hard to be an e-thug when people know where your from or who you are :D

Well, SLIM, sometimes embarassment is the reason. Several are in prison. Others are in mental institutions. Some are in the witness protection program. I know of a couple who are on life support, and many just can't spell worth a damn. I hope that cleared up some of the confusion. :)
 
Because all my information including my avatar were wiped out about 4 months ago. No reason giving. I had to register as a newbie. I been here since 09. I'm the old Skip. I know my days are numbered. :confused:
 
because in todays world with identity theft and the like.. only complete newbies or the tech-ignorant post personal information on the open public internet..


I'm not too worried about the members of the forum.. it's the other 3 billion people on the internet that might be a problem.

that or the crawler bots that scour the internet for personal info to be used for god knows what purpose.

most people who want my personal info .. can get it by shooting me a PM and I'll respond with an e-mail addy
 
I don't want people from other forums to figure out who I am.
 
Top 10 reasons why people don’t include information about themselves on the forum:

10. Pool players have bad reputation.

9. Don’t want the boss to know what we are doing at work.

8. Guys without jobs and no money don’t play for $5k a set.

7. Guys with chicks in their avatars are virgins.

6. Fantasy is a lot better than reality and everyone gets to be a level higher.

5. Half the hot chicks on the forum are guys the other half wishes they were.

4. Only way we can be ourselves.

3. Fear of becoming a victim of Hal Houle’s CULT.

2. Hard to talk smack if you know they can find you.

1. Anonymity is the secret of being a successful cyber stalker.

Anyone can have my info if they want it. Go ahead, steal my identity and while you're at it, steal my credit card payments too.

Slim people are afraid of Stalkers who terrorize people from their key boards. Now I don't know how long you have been a member but, some of the situations I have seen on this site ( A pretty well policed one ) were peoples Police records have been posted. Even worst than that people have been sent threats by phone to their homes.

I think some people just take things way to seriously, so I don't blame anyone for staying as transparent as possible.

#7 is not true. if I put a picture of myself for my avatar you all would ban me for life!!!
 
Whats your real name CC?
Bruce, I had a rabbit named Bruce. I really liked him. Once upon a time I had a bunch of
Masters chalk someone had given me for free and I was going to sell it in the bar for extra money. Bruce chewed up my chalk so we made him into rabbit stew. I guess that was pool karma and rabbit karma for Bruce. The stew was blue but tasted pretty good.
Maybe sometime you can send me some green Masters Bruce because my rabbit ate all mine.

I understand about personal information.

I am just talking about your age & what part of the country you are from.
not your real name or social security number.
anyway, it is a shame (as always) that a few bad apples spoil the barrel.
the few members that i have met in person make me glad that i am part of this forum.

on a completely unrelated note i've decided to run a 10K. i've also decided that by this time next year i'm going to make it my goal to be able to do over 30 pull ups
