Apparently there's a way to disallow anonymous postings (which I think is standard across most social networking things), but you're right. When it comes down to it, if the site is more trouble then it's worth, just stop visiting it.

Like others have said, there was almost certainly other circumstances aside from the cyber bullying. However, the block and ignore features exist for a reason. Why not use them in order to shut out the bullies in question, and then continue to enjoy using the site(s)? That's what I don't...

I like it because it presents a different sort of challenge to me, especially in creative. I like that I've got the freedom to do pretty much anything and build what I want. And with survival, I enjoy that it gives you a different kind of challenge, you've got to think a little more...

I've got two so far, nine red tally marks on the inside of my right wrist (which attract a lot of questions and weird conclusions about me) and a vegvisir on the back of my left shoulder. Both have personal reason behind them, and both were planned out well in advance of actually getting them...

Yes. It's mine. You can't have it. Well, it depends, really. Generally I have the student mentality of 'I can't afford to share this, it's supposed to last me all week', but I've been fortunate enough to have lived with people who respect that. If I'm cooking large quantities, different...

First off I'd find myself a suitable base, something like an empty warehouse (there are a lot of them around my area). Then I'd go pinch a large van and start stockpiling resources. Food, water, portable generators, survival kit, petrol, that kind of thing. I'd also take advantage of the...

I'm in agreement with the not forcing her argument, that'll most likely put her off even more. Maybe try and involve her when you're gaming, as in ask her opinion about a certain course of action or something rather than 'hey, watch me shoot this guy in the head', or find something with an...

It's a large crowd that sometimes shouts ridiculous or hilarious things (or both). On a more detailed and serious note, I quite like it. I'm not a member of many forums, but I do have a habit of snooping around places to see what their crowds are like. Here people are reasonably level-headed...

If you're talking straight lines then let me know when you master that, I'm still trying and I've been at it for over a decade now. Thing is, I'm a little strange in that I hate using a ruler or anything as a guide if the entire drawing is freehand. If you're talking lines in general...

[obligatory "I'm gay so duh!" comment followed by something suitably witty] Well, actually, depends on whether I go with the 'intentional sex' parameter... In that case, no, haven't got that far yet. I'm not too fussed about that, to be honest, it'll happen when it happens. Though soon would...

Sports. Or I guess some people would call them activities... let's go with athletic pursuits. Things like mountain biking (currently learning how not to crash and burn when jumping BIG), kayaking, climbing, lots of hiking and camping. And then there's things like DIY and woodworking, bike...

I usually have a hunt around for something in a different language. Usually it ends up being something in Gaelic, for example, if I've created something mage-like then I'll look up associated words and pick whatever sounds best. I hate the naming process, I really do, I put way too much thought...

I'm pretty much the same online as I am off. If anything, I'm slightly more coherent online because it's easier to organise all my tangents and offshoots, and I can remember what I was talking about to begin with by looking back at how I started out to begin with. That's about the only...

I'd say on the higher side of reasonable. I can cook food that tastes good and hasn't killed anyone yet (or resulted in food poisoning), but I'm not fantastic. I make mistakes and half the time it looks a little on the dodgy side, but I have a laugh doing it. Heh, I prefer the taste of home...

Well hey, why not? As far as the discussion goes, I think I'm one of those lucky ones that gets a fairly good balance of work and leisure time. That said, we're expected to use a fair size of our leisure time to work towards qualifications and the like, or for peer coaching, anything...
