Private subforum in OT?

Feel myself not submitting more and more posts these days as I don't want certain things so visibly public. Because of google you just type in the person's name and half yer posts come up which is fairly annoying.

What I'd suggest is a new private subforum in OT called Lord's Lounge where the more personal threads like What Made and Ruined Your Day and the What Are You Thinking Thread can be freely discussed.

Would suggest any poster with 50 posts or more is given access.

Yeah, I guess that's a good idea. Much better than what I was expecting of this thread.

Thanks for the suggestion

If I search your name on Google, nothing on the forum appears, so don't really see your point though.

Yeah, have a similar experience when I type my name in also. Though tbf I'm not overly bothered about stuff I post these days, would not fancy a lot of the posts I made in my earlier days being leaked anywhere mind you.

Itstl. One of the first links would tell anyone Gelman's height/weight/age etc.

Yeah, but when I do that, they link to the stories he wrote for the front page... which surely he has agreed to put his name to?

Click "Show more results from www.cricketweb.net" :p

Anyways, can go on a fair bit about that but don't want to make this about me more than anyone else. What do you reckon James/others?

In which I see the stats you posted for the AFL simulation game...


This was the issue I always had with supplying my real name for CW XI (although my name is as boring as they come, and I'm probably one of 50,000 in the world with that name) but at the end of the day, it's our choice to reveal our identities on the forum and it's our job to understand the consequences around that.

This is a whole other issue. I never wanted my name to be revealed on the forum, someone found out I think back in the snooker days and ever since then it became common place. But that horse has bolted, if I had my time again I would never have told anyone. Am certainly not complaining, that's just the way it is. Certainly not the point of the thread though.

Not the point of the thread, but certainly relevant.

Like you say though, it's poor form for anyone other than the poster themself to reveal their name on the forum.
