Read in another forum that there is a member who keeps everyone entered in excel spreadsheet and Keeping tabs on who posted what and when and whatnot. She said it herself. People freaked out but what can you really do about it?
Just wondering if YM has such creeps? Lol

I am sure there may be someone, probably a lurker since it's a public forum. I just can't let myself think about it though. And who the hell has that kind of time and energy?

Someone has time to do this? Is this some kind of social experiment on what is on people's minds? I think it would make a great research paper for college?
Can I use it as a reference to look up this one trauma drama on around some past date?

Wow, that's some stalkerish dedication I have been on this forum for going on 10 years or so and I still can't keep some people straight, not to mention if someone changes up names, then I am lost

I dearly wish that a person would know why a regular member disappears. That's the problem with an anonymous message board.
On another board I frequent I've seen people lose interest in the primary subject - understandable, and a few others leave after disagreements and insults - distressing. If there is personal correspondence with other members, then deaths are discovered. But sometimes people just disappear. One member on that board stopped posting. Another member asked if anyone had heard from her. The board operator didn't know, but said that her twitter account was silent too. That sucks.

[b Bone(rs) - bon(ers) ? I hope you not gonna be bonnered for this post Bon-bons are a type of candy. As for what you are referring to, well...what kind of soap operas are you watching, exactly? As for keeping track of people: my memory is good, but not that good. There are posters here whose absence would concern me if they were gone for a couple of weeks, mostly because they are such regulars. Would I actively track them? Nah, I have better things to do with my time.

Well, we do have a few stalkers here who devote their time to following specific members.

I've known people that keeps spreadsheets on random things/people. It generally seems more OCD than stalkerish. I suppose it depends on what they are tracking though. If it's personal information gathered from off board research that's a little concerning. If they are just keeping conversational notes from the boards so they can keep up or don't stick their foot in their mouth it wouldn't bother me.

Everything has a spreadsheet and I could totally see her keeping track of forum members. She just hates having to rely on memory for things. She would watch American Idol with these printed sheets with pictures and bios on each contestant and would take notes while she watched...all season. New sheets every week. I called her crazy a lot and she told me to shut up a lot.

Why can't they just keep the names or slightly change it so people know who they are?

Read in another forum that there is a member who keeps everyone entered in excel spreadsheet and Keeping tabs on who posted what and when and whatnot. She said it herself. People freaked out but what can you really do about it? Just wondering if YM has such creeps? Lol I've definitely been accused of similar behavior. A couple of years ago, a poster who had asked a money and numbers question several months or years earlier, reappeared. I had prepared a spreadsheet in response to her original conundrum and saved it under her nick. The spreadsheet also contained quite a bit of her prior posts. (I find cutting and pasting large sections of text into the spreadsheet preferable to endless toggling between this forum and the spreadsheet.) When I asked her a question that related to her prior posts and revealed the existence of the spreadsheet, she was extremely unhappy. I was accused of keeping tabs on everyone on YM. I'm definitely not keeping spreadsheets on everyone here, what they said, what their gender is, or where they live. However, if you have asked a question on this forum that seems to call for a spreadsheet, I may have a spreadsheet saved somewhere. I usually use the screenname of the OP in the title of the spreadsheet. I don't think that I have done anything wrong. It can take days to get relevant information out of a poster or write the spreadsheet and I'd like to be able to turn the computer off during that time. Isn't the screenname of the original poster the natural title for the spreadsheet?

If it gets to the point that the information acquired about a member of the board or all is used to conduct "attacks" of not so good nature than yeah: creep! But sometimes, people do that out of an impulse, I believe someone already mentioned OCD and most times(?) that is harmless, so go ahead you weird and wonderful individual whomever you may be, gather up info if that's what satisfies your compulsion! Spredsheet is something I haven't done in years. I still rely on my memory and as far as the members of this board I simply categorize everybody as "COOL" (now this cool category has its own subcategories: normal, fairly normal and crazy. Furthermore, applying political orientation criteria- progressive, independent, conservative And so on and so on; you get the gist!) If anyone were to throw this spreadsheet at me with things that I've said or done in the past, even if it is to make a good point, I'd still react with "Dude/tte, this is creepy! Cool but creepy!"
