Hello all.

Most of you already know that Google is used as a search engine for others to locate this website. However, a good majority of the site's content, such as the Boards, are available to anyone regardless of whether or not he or she has applied for an account. If you are prone to drama, I would definitely not recommend posting anything defacing, as it could affect perspective employment.

Thankfully, my rant was't on Google as far as I could tell. Just providing you with some words of wisdom that you already know.

if you knew we already knew this, why did you waste board space posting this topic?

Reason 864 why I have never given my real name on here. lol
So far I've only found 2 people I've met in my nonscreen life.

Anything you probably post online is viewable some other place.
rule number 869, don't say it if you don't want it seen.

Pretty much anything you post online is viewable somewhere, Google most commonly. that's why most go by their user names. Or, even if first names are known, last ones usually aren't.

my last name is wel known and easy to find. besides , even if i deleted it, that wouldn't stop the wwayback archive from seein it.
in other words, i'm way screwed.

what Alicia meant, I think, is that, on here, specifically, last names typically aren't known.

That is pretty true, from what i've seen.

that's correct. Thank you Chelsea for clarifying what I thought was obvious, but apparently not to everyone. Grins. Much appreciated.

I thought it was obvious, too, but apparently not to some. lol.
