Where to draw the line...

Where do you draw the line on your personal life on a msg board?

I find that on each msg board it's diffrent. And that some people draw the line at diffirent place for each board that they're on.

Personally, I draw the line at the same place for each msg board that I'm on. I'm quite vague at what I'm trying to express but sometimes people still get the msg, if I want/need advice.

Others, I find poor thier hearts our on to msg boards and tell almost every detail. Which I dont understand why you would do that because, well you dont know all the poeple on here.

I'm not exactly to sure what I'm trying to get at here. But I was just on a Ontario/BC board, and I noticed that some just get into their personal life.. though they dont know everyone on there. and some just keep to them selves.

Here.. I find that. People will get to the point if asked, or in the hidin sections they will express everything that is buggin them.

Still not to sure what I'm trying to say.

But what are your guys thoughts on where to draw the line on a msg board?

i think a "need to know basis" would be a good policy.

jovi for some strange reason i know wut ure talkin about...
some days i would pour my heart out.. i guess fnk has been so addictive that its a place where ppl can hear me. and other days i think my life has nothin to do with neone. it all depends on the mood..and surprisily im pretty comfortable tellin on this board things, especially teh girls section. (there is an obvious border.. no one knows every detail of my life...no one will) another thing is that a lot of ppl here know each other in person and hang out weekly/daily, so its all about the comfort level. (that ed journal thing i think iS WAY too much ...do i really wanna write about my day and express myself on an ONLINE JOURNAL and have everyone read it? NO)

Because sometimes you need to vent to people you don't know so you can finally get a different opinion.

After a while, your friends all start to sound the same.

yeah but vancouver is a really bad place to vent on a msg board. everyone knows everyone, somewhere along the way, its like 7 degrees of kevin bacon. they all tie in eventually.

if i wanted to post in detail about all my "secrets" id go on like a ontario one or something. and make my nick like troll-ish, just so no one would ever know it was me.....

i like my secrets. and my personal life, to be personal.

if i need to vent, i vent to my friends, theres nothing i wouldnt tell my bestest friends. they know it all. they are the only ones,. everyone else just knows pieces=)

I hardly ever disclose detailed personal stuff online, unless it's during a private conversation with someone on icq.

Hell, I hardly ever even disclose that kind of stuff to friends..
i'm just weird, i guess..

I'm with nathaneil on this, I usualy write all my personal stuff in my lj, but when I get really fed up and want advice or just some ones vue onshit, I go and post in in the heart 2 heart section.... but I'm still quite vague.

Though, I still know some people on here.. I wouldnt exactly be able to be open.. cause I know some people do talk behind peoples back and back stab and all that jazz.. i really dont care, I just like hearing ppl come up to other people or me saying 'did you know that blah blah blah' but what can you do?

I guess the whole personal life thing can be traced back to gossip.

oh, great!
