Glad to meet you two, my life hasn't been easy due to binging alcohol for 2.9 years, and now medication changes/etc for the past 3 months but I've been surviving/suffering/etc... still try to stay true to my gaming however.

If you would like, you can chat with me about gaming, or anything for that matter. I'm up for having a online friend.

Meh, as long as you don't go giving out your full name and personal info left and right you should be fine. It's good to be cautious, but being overly cautious can lead to problems.

Actually, I watched a video in school on how predator's find you by just searching your first name only......ofrgot how, but i remember watching it & thinking that it works. ('cause it does.)

gotta enjoy that :P

They probably knew your location and school and were able to narrow it down on a facebook search. But yeah you can google it sometimes and then searah and find a person's accounts.

The main problem is these stupid kids on Myspace who give away so much of their information, their interests, their address/phone number/names... it just gives predators an open book into their minds and lives.
