Hello:

What about myself, I post under my real name. However, didn't you think about your privacy on public forums? Anyone can post and write your name... so how do you explain to other people that this is your post, and another one is written by joker or even by your enemy? I don't think I can use PGP-signing in forums, but I already was forced to use PGP-signing and digital IDs in e-mail and sometimes in newsgroups...

What about my activity on the forum... I like it (however, I hate web-boards technology and I'm absolutely sure that technology of Usenet Newsgroups and FidoNet echoes is much, much better than using web-pages for forums...) - and, I visit it frequently. But... Three Internet echoes, which I moderate, generate more than 500 messages/day; and, my favorite creation - RU.COMPUTER.LIFE - generates 50-100 messages/day... deep and very interesting discussions... we talk there about psychology of cyberspace, too; there are about 200 regular participants and many lurkers... so RCL (Ru.Computer.Life) has for me the highest priority... After reading Fido echoes, I check alt.geek, one forum on my friend's site, Internet Addiction Discussion Group on netaddiction.com and this forum... and after this I dive to the ocean of Internet searching for something I want to find today...

I have many interesting things to talk about... topics, which we discuss in RCL... someday I'll ask here, too... when I'll know how to translate this in english better (to write in your native tongue is anyway easier than in non-native... like this english is for me)...

BTW, why there were no comments about recent chat, advertised on the forum?
