Somehow I think that these statistics are WAY off. I want to know if these claims can hold any water.

Nope, but I have been bullied online. Which is something different, I suppose. But never solicited. Though I do sometimes have suspicions about the motivations of this one fellow I know... But nobody here, so don't worry about having to sneak surreptiously around corners while weilding an aluminum baseball bat.

An ad that's on Myspace. And I think I saw it on TV, too.

Nope. It's mostly in chat rooms, and MySpace.

Forums are usually safer than chatrooms. With forums everyone knows everyone else, and you have to register. With most chatrooms, you can just go in without any registration. (Well, with things like AIM at least.)

And with this forum you need proper grammar, which I'm sure they are not capable of. :p Also, this isn't one o' them HUGE forums with millions of members. And third of all, we're kind of clean.

Of course, the internet was a much different thing back when we were 12 and 13 BTG. There was no MySpace back 8 years ago. Everything was Dial-up.

Nope.

I personally think they're bum stats...

I could be wrong though...

Nope. You're safe as long as you know how to distinguish creepy "hey, u want sum candy???" people from "This is like, totally proper grammar" people. Which really isn't that hard at all. In fact, I've even given out my address before. ^_^

Not that I know of. I mean, I haven't gone to the park to meet someone who has candy for me that I met online...

Coincidentally, this is the reason my parents think chatrooms are the devil. Ah, well.

Heh. Myrrh's given out like everything about her here.

Thanks to Myrrh's carelessness, I now have her Social Security Number!

...not that it'll be worth anything in a few years... :P

Let's see... Mandy, Myrrh, and Disk have my address, and I have Myrrh and Disk's adresses.

Well, pretty much everyone knows my real last name (HINT: it's not Bate!), and I told Mandy my address once... although I don't live there anymore due to a dispute with my mom aboot her having me arrested... and if I had a phone number, I'd probably tell that to everyone, too. My mom and stepdad are Internet safety freaks, but luckily they don't really watch what I type very often. And when they do, I just minimize the window and pull up something else. But yeah, the 1 out of 5 ratio... that doesn't sound accurate.

No, never. That's because have I brains and some common sense. We all know that many more than one out of five people on the Internet have neither of those.

Ahem, bruddah. *peace sign*

Really, it begs the question. How is it that this place is all cool and clean-like and full of almost nothing but awesome people, while most sites are chock-ful of nothing but the lowest common denominator?

I... have been actually. :blush: Before I came here, I used chatspeak and hung out in creepy chatrooms. I want to make sure nobody is as dumb as I was. I'm only so comfortable with giving out information to you guys because I trust you and I love you and we talk and communicate regularly.

Yeah, I have as well. Some creepy people find out my screenname and are pretty creepy about it. Usually I play their game and talk to them, and end up pwning them with some awesome comeback and then they go away. Or I block them.
It's also happened on MySpace once or twice but I just blocked them.

Those stats probably count, like, leching or something...

Solicit: Make a solicitation or entreaty for something; request urgently or persistently.

So I don't think leching counts.
