Are you ashamed to have an account here?

in a gaming forum?

No, however you should be you have brought great shame onto your family and friends.

What's there to be ashamed of?

Lol no

Lol what?

No. Nobody cares about what I do online, and if they did I wouldn't care what they think anyway.

No, I used to be ashamed kind of. Then I grew up and realized that most people do not really care.

Even one with 100K ++ posts... No.

Yes lord show us the way.

Are you kidding me? I rejoice every morning about my account that I have here.

I actually had a vision the other day; a tall blonde riding a mighty boar came and said "Behold the glory that is Ser Bojangles, Numbered of Twenty and Five. For thine account shall deliver the world from a fate most terrible".

So really, it's destiny or some shit. Gotta keep this account going.

No, I don't see any reason to be ashamed. If I felt that way then I wouldn't be here in the first place.

Gamespot doesn't take up a huge portion of my life. I can balance my time on Gamespot with my morning routine as I also read the news and listen to music, for example.

Why would I be ashamed? It's just a forum.

Wait, it's take a few seconds to post a comment.

Or am I missing something?

Why should I be?...

At 16 posts in, Mango's feeling the shame. lol

@mango:

If you browse into any site like GameSpot, you KNOW what you're there for! Why shame yourself for it? I doubt most people would care, anyway. Gaming is becoming more and more popular these days so the likelihood of running into a gamer is pretty high.

Unless you're ashamed of your name and avatar choices then yeah but ashamed to an account here, Hell NO! Only a fool would think such a thing anyway.

Nothing to be ashamed of. But, it's not high priority either. I've had two previous accounts here (late 90's and early 2000's) that I haven't kept track of and have forgotten. The log-in stuff weren't worth writing down. ;)

If I'm on my computer browsing this forum and someone comes into the room I always quickly shut off the monitor in embarassment. I try to act like I was just looking at porn. It kills me to think of the shame I would put on my family if word got out that I post at Gamespot.

No. Why would I be?

My existence is mostly a waste of space, so it doesn't matter much either way.

All my VR friends are here. Even ones what spell check me. :P

No, the gamers who aren't calling themselves gamers are the ones that are ashamed. Who gives a **** if you have an account on a gaming forum?

Been here for over 10 years now sooo.

I have an account here?

Why should I?

Nope if I did, I wouldn't have an account here. :P Its not just gaming forum..there's plenty of other stuff being talk about here. :P

ha ha ha ha ha :)

No

Yeah. I feel too good for this place but not quite smart enough for neogaf. Anyone know of like an in-between place? Like is IGN pretty in-betweeny?

What are you trying to ask? I don't quite understand.

Not at all. I do tell a select few people in my life that I post on forums. As forums provide a good platform for discussions that can't happen elsewhere on the internet. Such as social media for example.

Just don't disclose my username and which sites I use of course. Although if anyone dug up my forum use since my GT days. I don't really have anything to hide. I've generally watched what I said. Avoided personal attacks. And I haven't been banned for breaking forum rules. Also showed what I looked like in person to a number of people on another site.

Can we get action replay help here? I need help.

Mango's trolling. Don't feed Mango.

Exactly. What do you mean ?

been here since 06 i think

So your a Legend here on GS.

More ashamed that after 12 years I still am not at 100,000 posts.

But then again, I do have an alt account with over 10K that I used for about a year.

A poll on this topic would have been very telling on how OT thinks about this.

@foxhound_fox:

I haven't reached 30k in 13 years, I'm ashamed.

only ashamed i was banned

Even with my over 150k posts and being here for 11(+) years, no.

If anything you should be proud to be apart of a community of like minded individuals with the same hobbies. (Video Games) I'd much rather post on a forum than on social media.

To me the anonymous nature of a forum let's us focus more on the discussion of the thread topics. Sites such as facebook take that away, and things can become awkward and extremely personal very quickly.

I just created mine the other day so no?

I do enjoy seeing all of the longtime gamespotters show up in the same thread like, the hell you talking about TC?
