do you ever talk about the forums

to non forum people in your life?


yes i realize most of you are way to cool to ever talk about the forums in your fabulous real lives

but the rest of you...does it ever come up in conversation?

 

Yes, lol, a lot. But I don't usually refer to it as Hipforums because I'd rather keep this place to myself.

 

haha yes.
one of my friends likes to stalk me on here but never actually post and whenever he starts talking about something that I know I haven't told him i'm like "oh, what, I don't remember telling you that.. Oh, right. Hipforums." (he'll probably read this and bring it up next time i see him)

other than that, not really. what's there to talk about?

 

No. Nobody in my real life likes arguing the toss having a laugh or interacting with other people like me. I do discuss this forum with other forum users on the net' though.

 

Lots

 

Yeah, they think I am crazy. It's an ongoing joke with my best friend.

 

Perhaps introduce jokes about something more interesting!

 

similar here.

it's come up before, but i rarely give the name, and virtually never give my username.

i've gone by the name nesta for around ten years, well before this site required memberships, and before i even came here. nobody i'm close to knows me by this name.

i don't mention it much these days, but once in a long while it comes up. more often i relate a story presented here to others, and attribute it to a message board. i very, very rarely mention which, though. i can only think of one person in the last five years whom i've informed of hipforums.

a big part of it is privacy. i know that on here i come across as arrogant or at least something of a know-it-all. part of it is that i don't want people i care about to see me in this light, and part of it is assuming their disinterest because i'm (a bit secretely) afraid that they already think of me in such a way. either way, while i'm aware of how i come across on here, my hope is that i do not have the same effect in person, but i'm a little bit self-conscious in this respect.

part of it also is that while hipforums has been part of my life for enough years to become dear to me, its like a friend that i know doesn't meet expectations of others, it's "lame," "wierd," or whatever.

so its a combination of vanity and embarassment that prevents me from mentioning it often, but i do sometimes mention it. when i do, more often than not it's cryptic and nondescript.

i feel bad saying this, but it's the truth.

 

on occasion. for the last while really just when i giggle at something, my dude will ask whats funny, and ill esplain then

 

sometimes i do but I keep my secrets well...

 

nope

 

Every now and then this place'll give a good story.

Not otherwise.

 

I've only told my close friends and a few registered but they don't post anything.

 

no....never ....never ever


this place is my escape from real life....I must keep it seperate

 

Rarely if ever. Just never seems to come up in conversations.

 

If it does I say I saw this online, lalalal.. where they ask and I say a free speech site, but dont give out my username to many people in real life.
But I say crazy squirrel jokes everywhere..

 

I do, I have no problem repeating stories or jokes or insights or events I've read about here. this is 'RL' to for me, i don't differentiate. i may not give my username tho depending on how close i am with the person

 

i do. i call you all "my hippies"

 

my friends know of some hippie website where i post at hating on the vegetarians and hippie kids

 

but we're not all hippies
