Now that you've brought it up, I wouldn't be surprised to see about 50 of us change our location statements to Toad Suck Arkansas, at least temporarily.  God bless America. | |||

Im going to change my location to: "Broke, living in a van, by the river with some cool watches, lot's of guns, great bourbon, sitting in a lawn chair next to Vthoky!" ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

That’s often incorrect. Did you neglect to read the OP of this thread? Para provided us with the Profile Location field for a reason. Serious about crackers | |||

Yet from my last noting, Para himself did not use it. That being said, I know where he’s from because I’ve engaged in conversations and threads. Iow, I believe it’s a choice. Some choose to, some don’t. NBD. __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | |||

That field is optional, also for a reason. Some people prefer stealth mode for their internet appearances. Per a previous comment, members are free to enter anything (or nothing) in that field; there is no authentication. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Honesty has zero to do with putting in Timbuktu, could be for privacy, contrarian, humor, any number of choices. | |||

A dangerous angry person and a group of his sycophants were trolling a few forums (unrelated to guns or Sigforum) some years ago and correlating the information to identify the individuals. I was one of the people they doxed, and they got close enough to put me and my career in danger. Since then I've been careful to keep details sparse and to even misdirect at times. That event was after an unpleasant email contact from fed.gov related to this date in history (shortly thereafter) which also threatened my career. Anonymity is called for on the web. | |||

So you’re saying that folk that deliberately state an incorrect Location are merely being deceptive rather than dishonest. A fine distinction. Simply leaving the Location field empty would be much better. I could buy the humorous part, if obvious. ETA: I continue to believe that SIGforum members wouldn’t deliberately state an incorrect Location.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Pipe Smoker, Serious about crackers | |||

Let's be honest here. If you want privacy and leave your location out, no big deal, afaic. If you want to be humorous and put in something funny, that's fine, too. But, if you deliberately put in say, TX, when you're really in some other state, then that's just dishonest, imo. There are folks who have moved but forgot to revise their location, but that's just honest overlook. Q | |||

 Come on over, friend! We've got a spare rock to put your feet on, and an extra glass for the bourbon-sharing.  God bless America. | |||

No sir, said nothing of the sort.... simply said there are various reasons for that field to be blank, something humorous, close, general, heck you can put your home address in if someone wants. | |||

Ohhh! Glasses! Fancy! I was fine with just hittin' out of the bottle, or paper cups. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

We need another field in the public profile for Astrological Sign. Drunk dude, trying to strike up a conversation with an attractive girl in a bar: "Hi. What's your sign? I'm a Feces." הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Because “staring down at you with disdain from the spooky mountaintop castle” sounds way fucking cooler than “Clarkdale AZ” which everyone would then have to Google. The “lol” thread | |||

Yup. And this is a gun forum, and many lefties hate firearms. Don’t take much to get targeted. Sorry you had to go through that. I am surprised by some of the responses in this thread. You want us to list street address and zip code for you as well?  What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Too true. There's two kinds of folks: Those that live in Texas, and those that wish they did. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||
