How much of your online life is known?
Who knows about your online foruming life to people you know in real-life? And to what extent do they know your online info (username, forum name, writings, etc...). Okay, let's assume stuff that's NOT a MySpace site since I am sure many of you are going to say that your friends are on yours. I am more interested in the forums and instant messages.
My friends and some co-workers know I forum. They know the forum names, but they don't know the URLs. I don't give them out because I write a lot of personal stuff here I wouldn't want certain people reading. My sister is one of the only family members who is computer-literate, but I don't tell her which forums I frequent. Even less with her because I write stuff I don't want her to know or question or become a nosy body over. They are like my own personal and private places, I guess. What about you? |

Pretty much none of it. I've mentioned something about this website to my mom once, but not in any great detail.

My roommate knows I post on this site, but to others like my family, I tell them I post "on some TV message board," but I don't name names.

No one. I prefer not to mix people I know offline with the ones I only know online.

Very interesting answers, everyone.
This brings up another interesting question, especially to those whose family/friends know you frequent "some TV forum" but not really know the name of the forum: If they ask which site, how much info of that do you give them? |

Nobody knows and I don't intend on ever telling anybody. My parents would probably be weird about it, anyways.

My wife knows I post here and knows my user name. I also have a friend at work that knows I post here, he even registered himself. I use to know another woman who posted here, but she is long gone now.

I usually keep my online activities pretty private--only my best friend knows of some of the sites I go to (but not all). I really don't want my family knowing about it.
