Aside from all the "username" posts we've been seeing this week
Our attitude towards forum posting is alot more open than being able to voice our thoughts, memories and concerns to another person directly. The added anonymousness (if that is actually a word I'd be fucking amazed) gives us a sense that we can say the things we'd been wanting to tell others without fear of comeback from someone direct who you care about.

I used to think this as well, posting on this board with the safe knowledge that no-one on here knew me outside of the boards. Until me sister found my username and started reading it in work. Oh dear.

So because of this you will never be able to find out about that time I was a drunken slut with a gran; that incident involving drugs and spiking plus that story of me almost winning a 6 foot-plastic-cock-bucking-bronco competition as I would definitely not want me family knowing about them thankyouvmuchlike:D

Anonymity?
Hopefully, it will bring you closer to your sister.

it's nice to put these things politely, dont you think?
Had to let 'definately' go though - that one is chronic.

Ha!
I would say 'definately' for definitely and 'loose' for lose, are the internet's most oft-repeated crimes.

'their', 'they're' and 'there'.

Why not...
...create a new account for writing tales you don't want your family relating to you?
