For all member's just remember it can be a dangerous old web out there! Please don;t give out your personal details to anyone on the forum unless of course you know each other.

I echo that. You really don't know who anyone is on here. If you're ever concerned about the behaviour or private messages of someone on this board, tell one of us and/or your parents/spouse/siblings etc.

Hear hear

Also remember that people can post in disguise. For example, an adult could post on here pretending to be a nine year old girl. This is not right or honest. Please beware.

My parents dont let me send any personal details anyway

You may not be aware of what details you give out when you are talking to someone..ie...do you play sports at school..what team you in.....if you give the name of the team you could be located that way.
Never ever go meet anyone on your own. I have meet online friends before but that was only because i had a friend who had already meet a lot of the group. I would not go on my own, even at my age.
Take care

It can be VERY dangerous! I met my mrs online!

[Admin]

you never told me that.. You wonker!

[demonllama]

I did the same thing and ended up with a baby. Amazing what computers can do nowadays!




But girls, before you get all gooey-eyed about how romantic that is, it over ten years ago, when the Web wuz young and much less dangerous. Nowadays, I'd never meet up with anyone off line. I wouldn't even tell anyone what town I live in.

[rebeccalee]

Ha you live in Staffordshire, England

[Shannon_Superstar]

Staffordshire's a county.


And yes, I echo everything being said on here.

Also, can I please remind you that ANY abusive/offensive language is taken seriously: the topis may be locked; posts deleted or your accuont deleted.

We have had a few cases of this already...

[rebeccalee]

eho have you deleted

[Ceri]

I totally agree.
I like to think I'm quite net-smart haha as I've been using computers since I was 11 but I remember how naive I was back then and I'm glad there's more recognition of the dangers nowadays.
