New Sticky Topic: Members Pics or No Memebers Pictures?
Okay, the question might seem a little vague, so let me explain.
I wanted to create a sticky topic where members of the forum might be able to post their pics of themselves (PG rated ), so that other members could see the face to the name of who we are talking to.
Now I have a nagging feeling that maybe I shouldn't...the reason...it might be better to leave things as completely anonymous.
One often changes your view about someone when you actually see what they look like.
I don't know why we do that... but we do.
But then I think, well its up to the person, no one has too, so if ppl want to participate then they can and if they don't - well then they don't.
So I wanted to get your guys thoughts on the Pros and Cons of doing it.
Thanx!

So true Charlesman! You could def put your own pic as your avatar.Charlesman wrote:I voted yes - as you say, it's up to the individual member if they want to post their pictures or not.
As it is, I can take a picture of myself and use it as my avatar...
Thanx for getting back to this - I'm just a little curious why so many ppl have viewed this topic and all they need to do is put a Yes or a No.
But nope
And I really love your avatar! :smt002
I wouldn't post my picture. The internet is a very small place and identity theft is on the increase, the more you post about yourself then the more other people know about you and the more at risk you become. I probably sound alarmist and thats not the intention however I do value my privacy and my identity even more.
I also don't mind not having a picture of people, I often have a picture of what I think you look like in my head after a few interactions.
