    What do your wives/friends/girlfriends/boyfriends/parents think of you posting here?

    Do you tell them? Ever let them post? Are they in awe of your posting prowess or just think you're strange?

    Okay, I'll go first

    I think I can say without fear of contradiction that Mrs Horse thinks my posting here is a total waste of time and holds you all in same contempt she holds me for wasting my time here.

    Otoh, my 7 year old thinks its cool

    most just don't understand. They're like "why are you at that SAME website all the time?" One or two ppl i've gotten to post here, one of whom you MAY remember (though she posted very infrequently) tandeetaylor . . .

      Yes I remember Tandee

      I guess we are all friends with similar interests - flaming, trolling, spam, that sort of thing

        As far as I know, my roommates and friends all think I'm crazy for spending as much time here as I do. However, I have gotten my brother to post here infrequently.

          Well, since I'm enjoying the life of the bachelor at the present, I have no hubby to worry about.

          As for my friends and family -- none of them know I'm an Apolyton member, since very few of them have an interest on the wonderful things the Internet has to offer to the same extent that I do.

          When I'm with them, I usually do not talk about what I do on the Internet. Just not a casual, conversation topic that comes up with my friends and family.

            Parents think it is a total waste of time and speak of Apolyton derisively (they see the site name when I'm on the computer at home).

            My g/f thinks it is kind of wierd. But when I tell her about how many people I know, she still thinks it's wierd . But a little cooler. She's familiar with message boards, but she's probably thought I've gone overboard with it .

              Several of my friends thought I was so cool for posting here they decided to post themselves.

              One stayed, one got banned because we both posted from college network and thus had the same IP address (guess what happened to him ), and another just didn't return.

                My girlfriend thinks I'm a nerd for posting here. She feels she has to compete with this site for my attention, so when I'm browsing/ posting at home, she does her best to distract me into spending more time with her. That can be pretty hilarious.
                Well, lets just imagine my question is not hypothetical then...

                  My wife is scared of the computer so she has no idea what I do and my kids just assume this is a site for silly old buggers like me who play civ games.

                  I have got them all fooled.

                    No one knows that I post here.
                    Except for a work partner. He just doesn't make the slightest clue of the time I spend.

                    Or so I hope...

                          When I first learned of this place I thought it was a complete waste of time and held you all in the same comtempt for doing the same.

                          After hanging out here and posting and wasting my time here, I haven't changed my mind.

                            My on again off again, uh, significant other knows.
