    Community building in the sense that we know a little more about each other, and the chat ID's and games list was so people could find other online games people play and hook up easier. The idea was having all of that in one post would make searching for a playing partner easier. Obviously it missed it's mark. All the chat IDs I gathered were posted in the other thread, I didn't add any in that weren't because I know not everyone wants theirs listed.

    Sorry, I know neither Yane nor myself ever meant to offend with this. We can delete it as if it never existed if you want. Again, sorry for my involvement in this.

    OMG YOU GUYS KNOW MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

    I don't see the big deal. I mean I can't be arsed to remember everyone's birthday. I have enough trouble remembering RL friends and family B-days. It's like saying that in RL you'd be upset if someone in your group of friends told others your B-day in anticipation of an upcoming B-day. Honestly would you be that upset? The original intent of Jen an Daj is noble. The argument Rich makes makes about inclusion dosn't fly. It's a simple evolution of how this thing started. There's nothing stoping a user from PMing the info to be included.

    I'm sorry, but I don't see how this thread can be offensive.

    For the birthdays, it is not like it's information of an extremely personal nature. There are many, many people who share your birthday so it's not something unique to yourself. The idea of the birthday thread has been discussed before and nobody bothered to say they didn't want any part of it. When I went around PMing people for birthday info such as the date or their colors, nobody offered up any resistance or objections. After the info was given to me, I said, "kthx! You're added to the birthday list now." And nobody said, "Hey, what are you going to do with it? You're not going to post it, are you?" Nobody said, "Sorry, that information is too personal. I don't want you to have it."

    For the AIM and online gaming info, it was taken from the previous thread so it's not like we were posting information without your consent since it was already posted.

    Again, I am sorry if anyone was offended. It was not my intention to "invade your privacy" or cause dissension within the ranks.

    Now if she asked for naked pics and my home address, then I'd be concerned.

    So to add to what Flare said. Good job Daj and Jen.

    My birthday is not on this thread, hence I'm jumping on the drama bandwagon. Close this thread immediately etc.

    Hell, in my day, drama included men posting as women, off-shoot board wars and hacking accounts. This is like a pimple on drama's ass.

    Damn straight Kate. But it is still amusing. Sadly this is the most interesting drama of the year in games. And the JC has been boring as well. The damn administration is banning too many of the people who used to make me laugh my ass off. . .as a mod. Its rather depressing.

    Tick, tick and tick. Good times. Gotta take whatever drama comes along these days, though.

    If the infomation was already posted in the Games Lounge and other thread, I don't see why all the fuss. Yane and Dajuan started this thread to help foster a community in Games, and already on the first page there's bickering(save some of the drama for later).

    "Sadly this is the most interesting drama of the year in games."

    Whoa Venture, did you just like, sleep through the last 6 months? Because this is by no stretch even close to the best Games drama of the year.

    I agree with Kate. This is a pimple on drama's ass. Thugh that imagery isn't totally something I need right before bed. Yeah.

    Conne: It's through pictures that stalkers will take interest in you.

    You have nothing, whatsoever, to worry about then!

    Solo: Thanks mate for sticking up for me in my absense, even without my asking you to.

    1. I skimmed down, saw my birth date posted and then skimmed and saw 'everyones' AIM/MSN/emails details posted and pressed 'REPLY' as soon as possible (I didn't know my other details had been posted.

    2. My details are not in my profile, except I had had 'PM me for details' there so I can screen who has my contact details. I'm sick of random people adding me to their contacts and talking to me etc. I have too many damn people on it as it is, without the hassle of complete strangers wanting a 'chit chat'.

    3. As Solo has said, personal details are personal, no matter how harmless the author and any subsequent posters / contributors think they are. Give me 2 mins and a pic of Conne can be posted and I'm sure she'll piss and moan about that, even though everyone's already seen it, which brings me to my next point in reply to JP.

    4. You may have posted birthday threads in the past, and me to you. And it's nice, but it's forgotten shortly after and the exact date is never know with time differences and people don't give a ***t about working it out. When it's blatently posted people then can more easily take note of it.

    5. Get bent.

    6. This blew out of proportion. For those who don't care and who gave permission, cool. Nice thread. /shrugs/

    I guess back in the day, I wouldn't have cared so much or at all, but now that I hardly give a ***t about this board any more and read about 4 threads, I feel I know a lot less people here, and don't want my details (email etc) posted more than ever (when I read almost every thread and knew the majority of posters).
