They're those people who are like, "You can't trust anyone on the Internet. People lie. Someone will track you down and stalk you and kidnap you." So yeah, most people don't know that I come here.

exactly..,

my parents know i go to some sitcom website, but they dont know about anyone from here...and theyd think i was insane if they did...two of my friends know a little.

I think I've mentioned it to my sister and a couple co-workers but they really didn't seem interested so I didn't elaborate on it. Anyway they would think I was some kind of wierdo if they knew I came here everyday.

When I mention these boards to my family and friends I generally say, "These message boards I go to." I never mention the name of it.

Yeah that's how I mentioned it to my friend that knows, just like I don't know the name of the board she goes to. So whenever I mention it to her I just say, "my message board."

heck no if i told my family they might come here and find out something i dont want them to know. like a certain thread on the random posts board. a few friends now i come here but they arent interested in SO.

Yeah, I don't want my IRL people seeing what I'm doing here.

*PinkLady* · 07-17-2003, 12:05 AM

I've never told anyone.

Rockapella722 · 07-17-2003, 02:15 AM

Funny you should ask, I was just telling 2 people last night. Only I said "a message board I go to." I don't want people I know offline on here, it would spoil the fun.

consentida · 07-17-2003, 02:31 AM

I told my mom a few times but she doesnt really care. I dont talk to my friends about it because i dont want them here. This is like the only place I can be myself and not get criticism for it...so this is my hideout. I love it here.

PZelda · 07-17-2003, 03:09 AM

Only to my friends, but I only refer to it as "this one message board I go to." I don't want them knowing about what goes on here. So they don't come here.

Same here. I'll say this entertainment site if I want to tell someone how people are feeling about a certain subject, but I never say Sitcoms Online.

Yeah, it may sound silly but telling someone about SO would be like letting them invade my privacy!

I would rather keep it to myself!

And....................where else can we get online impressions from TJL?

I never tell any of my friends or family about coming on here. Although my mom started freaking out a month ago because I was coming online so much, so I showed her sort of what it was, she wouldn't come though because she's not that good with a computer. My dad one day saw me responding to a post, and was completely annoyed by it, but then I guess he forgot. I love these boards, it's like a secret hidaway I can go to. I will never tell any of my friends about it.

My family thinks I'm odd enough, with the drinking and the no wife and the multiple careers and living in NYC; if they knew I was doing online impressions, I think the guys with the big butterfly net would be paying me a visit.
