Do you check profiles?

Maquisard · 02-17-2005, 11:16 AM

A POLL!!!

When do you check someone's profile, and how often, if ever?

I allowed for multiple voting so feel free to include all your profile checking habits, and please post bellow if I missed to include any options.

Maquisard · 02-17-2005, 11:24 AM

I voted for three particular options, but missed to check the "I look at all the profiles" option. Because let's face it, everyone here is either a noob, says something interesting, or is female.

BTW, have you noticed how the females on these forums never disclose their age?

Hmmmm let me see, I checked Trep and wormsie when I first joined coz I didn't know what gender they were, fov coz she's cute...

That always cracks me up.

I check the profiles of cute people, and those who say stupid things, and those who say insightful things.

I check more or less when someone said something interesting, if "said something interesting," also means "something that was smart, annoying, pissed-me-off-beyond-belief, funny, bizarre, disgusting, etc."

I think fov's was the first user profile I checked because... well, let me just say that SD is not the only one who thinks fov is a cutie. Then I moved onto checking Trep's profile because I wanted to see if Trep is as cute as Emily. I wasn't disappointed!

I do check profiles of people who have interpreting things to say.

I mostly get to look at people's profiles when I accidentally click their name instead of the thread name.

so let's see if Wormsie has checked my profile.

cute people - check
those who say stupid things - check
hose who say insightful things - hmmm...

Well, I think I've got two out of three.

I like to check profiles, cause it makes me feel like I am a stalker!

lumi · 02-17-2005, 12:27 PM

I check the girls' profiles.

Intrepid Homoludens · 02-17-2005, 01:02 PM

I voted that I check everyone's profiles because it's my job as a mod.

But I have to confess, I check to see someone's attractive in mind, spirit, and appearances, too (and I mean attractive as in 'interesting'). Problem is a lot of members never post anything more than their favourite games, etc. So c'mon, people!! Your profile is out there for a reason, give us more shooogah!

BoyToy · 02-17-2005, 01:56 PM

Trep, I found the other half of your current avatar! Your custom user title, makes so much sense all of a sudden...

I notice that the smiley in question is created by a German (the proof is in the de in the URL). Hmm, that figures. What will you crazy Germans come up with next.

100ja a.k.a. mr_mitja · 02-17-2005, 03:18 PM

I checked "when somebody says something interesting", and like most of you here, "interesting" is a very wide term for me too.

*Generic commentary that would annoy*

Check me out babe, rawr.

Maquisard · 02-17-2005, 06:16 PM

That made me NOT want to check out your profile!

Unfortunately, I think I already have.

Catbert · 02-17-2005, 06:20 PM

Don't check it if you're male, this is an annoying comment for women only, damn it.

Maquisard · 02-17-2005, 06:26 PM

Strangely, it annoyed me too?

Must be something about male competitiveness, etc...

BTW, I really really hate your avatar! :eek:
