How Secret Is Your Tv Identity?

[BuddhistVirus]

AFAIK nobody.

But for what it's worth.

"I am SPARTACUS"

'Well, surely you must be the son of GOD!'

i suppose if you meet the the face to the avatar,it would spoil in some way the fantasy people have about the guy/gal.just a thought.

I well recall the first time I announced to three blokes that I was a member. They all looked at each other then looked at me and started laughing. They then explained that they think everyone on here is a nutter, so I replied 'well, i am in good company then' ! Since then I don't bother telling anyone unless they happen to tell me first, which is rare...three so far.

I don't know that I agree with your friends (though I can understand shy they'd think that) as I think there are at least SOME very sensible folks here...but what your anecdote reminds of is how odd and kind of funny it is that it seems like not a few members of TV tend think all expats are here when surely it must be a minority; I was in this country for decades before I ever visited...

I could imagine regular posters in some of the Community or Local forums becoming friends, but not so much in the more general forums.

I wonder if this hidden identity thing is Thailand-specific.

Or maybe even from a past era, as on more modern online communities (Twitter, Facebook) people tend to be themselves.

I can see it all now.

Members of the farming forum meet regularly.

I once sent a posting to say that I could, if necessary, live on Baht10 000.- a month. Both my wife and her daughter were interrogated separately in the market the next day by 'ladies' demanding much larger sums from their in absentia Farang husbands. Dunno how they worked out who I was and don't really care.

just be careful winnie knows who we all are,he may want some tea money to keep quiet.

[rene123]

I'm not paranoid. I don't mind people knowing who I am, but then I'm not posting from an office when I should be working. I also don't take nasty potshots at people I don't know, either. And, if I do know them then they know I'm just friendly teasing.

not sure whether my count is correct but over the years i had 29 TV-members as guests in my home, most of them also knowing my real name.

In other forums I was a part of and in this one, I am almost always reluctant to meet with fellow members, I never attend forum gatherings, and I prefer to keep my real life quite separate from Internet relationships....

But for some reason that is not clear to me, it strikes me as rather nice that you've had all those forum people as your guest. (Not something I will ever emulate though!)

i wouldn't call it "rather nice" but consider it quite normal that people meet to discuss or exchange views on mutual interests. 17 years ago i was one of the founding members of a financial discussion forum. it took about five years till the "hardcore", a dozen or so bankers, traders and investors met in a country convenient to travel for all of us. since then we meet each and every day in a forum (no specific threads because there's only one main topic) where people are discussing 24/7 finances.

moreover, the whole group (now more than three dozen members) meets at least twice a year, once in South America or the Caribic and once in Asia. strong friendships have developed, some of the "attached" ladies meet once a year (always in a different country) and members have and are still receiving valuable advice and quite often tangible assistance, e.g. getting admission to universities and accomodation for offsprings who want to study a few semesters in a different country... the list is endless.

so why not meeting with people from the vicinity who share mutual interests and who don't need 12-20 (or more) travelling hours to meet?

Uhmmm...OK. Thanks for telling me about your other group, I guess?

"Normal" or not, I thought it was rather nice. Hope that's alright - the two descriptions are hardly mutually exclusive.

Identity is a coin-toss: heads you lose; tails you lose. Don't think about it: you win.

Those who know me know they don't know me.
