Looks like a lot of people share your attitude, Neapolitan, and are uneasy about inviting RL friends into this den of vipers:-

I remember a couple members telling me they either thinking about or were going to quite MB. Sometimes they gave reasons. Even though I didn't know Stephen that well, but I felt bad for him when he made his last post explaining why he's leaving. I would hate to think if I invited someone here irl to join MB and he or she had a horrifying experience it would be in some way my fault. So no I don't talk about MB too much or encourage any one irl to join.

^ Luckily, I don´t think many people have a horrifying experience here; if we have any really aggressive posters they usually move on or get banned eventually. In Stephen´s case, I think it was just a gradual disappointment about members´ lack of interest in music. Post about your latest musical enthusiasm and you may be ignored completely; post about how big your dick is and the thread will run forever.

^ That´s an important first step, zombie kid. Congratulations. I´m going to take you up on your invitation and visit your User Profile right after submitting this post, so you´d better make sure it´s all cleaned up and tidy!!

My girlfriend knows I'm here and I let her read my journal posts and whatnot before I post them.

My bandmate made an account but only has like 10 posts. I've mentioned this forum to a couple other people but didn't make an effort to get them to join or anything. That's about it!

It is not that big of a deal if someone ends up having a horrible experience. Sansa ran off one of my female friends that I got to join by being bitchy to her in shoutbox but it isn't the end of the world because my friend doesn't take the internet seriously.

If your friends are sensitive don't bring them to an internet forum.

^ Well, that´s a good sign of a solid relationship, YorkeDaddy. So no flirting or Valentines posts for you!

^ Yes, kind of surprising to me, but MB just doesn´t appeal to many musicians and enthusiasts.

^ Is that so? I know for a fact that another good member left because of her presence as well.

My mom knows that I post here and we discuss people on here who are trolling. My friends know I'm on MB and know I'm a mod. My bestie joined years ago, but forums are really her cup of tea. I met a real member years ago who I still text to this day. I definitely keep the posts, drama and my contributions private.

I got my mother to join in the hope of showing her how to use a laptop but 2 years on she still has no idea how to even turn the thing on, which is just as well because everybody thought it was me trolling anyway.

Can't believe I missed that! Maybe your mum was just scared away :(

No she genuinely doesn't know how to turn on her laptop
