Topic: IM's on or off?

isnt random bugging the reason that we are here? :) Yes I agree that there are pervs out there, then you block them, but the "randomness" is what is fascinating here for me.... I am not in search of anyone though so just a "hello" or "hey what are you"? Comes as a welcome surprise !!!


I'm not here for random bugging. I stay to talk to specific people and to participate in the forums. I choose who I talk to and who I ignore, and thankfully turning off my IM's helps me with that.

Thank you, and see what I mean? If I did not appreciate that I would click the button that says Mute this person.... that is all I am saying and I realize that a guys perspective is TOTALLY different than a girls.....

If you prefer you can turn it on & then it can always be turned back off if that's what you decide. Just random experience I'd rather be nudged or an email then if I want to continue to chat with that person I'll take it to yahoo or phone.

Mine is off. I tried turning it back on and even put in my profile to IM me only with a question or concern for the site. Needless to say, it is off now because I get IMs saying "let me see you" and they are no where near me slaphead

I like this part: "and they are no where near me". That's what has been happening to me. Sometimes the ages aren't even close. Like 15 years apart.

If a web cam situation happens, I always thought it was between two people that already have something going.

I guess I'm (no pun intended) just a little old school like that.

I would, and have sent an IM to someone just because I had a question that I didn't want anyone else to know about and e-mail was just too slow.

You are probably right.

I thought that I may have opened myself up to jokers when I said that no one ever sends me an IM. I guess I should be grateful.

Have mine turned off. Plan to keep it that way. Everytime I would go to type something in the forums, I would get an IM; always from a stranger. smokin
