Surfnshannon Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 On the internet? I'm serious. I was reading the penny-arcade forum and some people actually give out their phone numbers. I'm not sure if they are real or not...but it suddenly dawned on me. Would you give out your phone number on a forum? Personally I wouldn't....I mean...all these guys calling my house. I'd be bound for divorce! What about you guys? Have you given out your phone number to forum buddies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Never to forum members, but a couple of my squad-mates and I talk on the phone fairly regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 No because I am cheap. my internet is $9.95 per month and I have talked with internet friends all night long, a real phone call, even at a good discount would cost way more than that. as for phone numbering and addresses, 'IF' I talked with someone online for a real long time and saw no strange or peculiar deviations in their sanity; I would not be opposed to letting them know my phone\address. already from sending packages back and forth I have done so with people I have come to trust. but like i said really know the person before sending anyhting. (worst case senario is, if someone is a super gekk with the right equipment or connections, they could find your location out by ISP address, city, etc) caution is always a good thing. don't be too quick to trust, but also don't be so jaded to try.

edlib Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I've seen it done, mostly in RSN before the LF merge. I don't think any harm came of it, although I would never recommend it to anyone or would ever do it myself, simply because I dislike talking on the phone so very, very much. I do know the real names and addresses of a few people here though, but I only communicate that type of stuff through PM or e-mail... never in the forums. You never know who might be lurking...

The_One Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Never on an open forum. I've given out my mobile number to a couple of people I've known over the 'net for years, but I would never post it openly - that would be asking for trouble...

WolfmanNCSU Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Nah, I would never post it, but I would give it to a person if we really needed to communicate on the phone.

IG-64 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 actually, the scary part is, is that if you live in america, and your a homeowner, and you give out your first and last name, I can easily and legally find out where you live and get step-by-step directions to your house (not like I would ever go to your house anyways) so never give out your daddy's full name kiddies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I think, as with anything else in life, it comes down to common sense at the end of the day. But also, as in "real" life, you only give out your phone number to people you trust. If you felt like you knew someone well enough, then maybe, as I have, you could give them your number. However, I would never give out my home number, only my mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
