[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 285457, member: 6479"] I always wonder about such things. We used to have "ICQ" (pre-AIM) back in my high school hey-day. One of the most fun things from those days of the wild 'n' wooly internet was turning off the private feature, so that anyone could see you online. I know it sounds awful, but we used to get the sleaziest guys from the middle east and southeast asia hitting on us - and we'd all get together at someone's house and mess with them. It was entertaining and ridiculous. I always wondered what kids were meeting strangers online and telling them personal details. We just mocked the creepers, then went back to invisible. Actually taught me a good deal about how scary the world is - creepy guys live everywhere (especially the UAE and Malaysia, apparently). Probably not the best idea, but man, was it fun. [/QUOTE]
