What are your usual reactions when you see someone new on your profile--do you wander off into theirs thinking who they are and try to get to know them, possibly, or do you not really care? o: In addition, how many people do you think view yours each day, and what are your thoughts on that? So far, what is the total number of your profile views?

I get excited when I get new visitors, it's like an achievement. Though I hardly ever venture off onto other people's profiles. I usually get 2 or 3 views a day which is really sad :< I want all the visitors.

I get a little excited, lol. If I'm not familiar with the name, then I venture off to their profile to see how they came across me. If I am familiar with them, then I usually wonder to myself what I did to attract their attention, maybe pay theirs a visit.

Some days I get about 10 visits, and some days I don't get more than 1 or 2. There's a total of 343 as of right now, and in some ways that feels like a rejection, haha. No, no, I don't expect everyone who wanders onto my profile to start up a conversation, but it's always exciting to see a new message, especially from someone you've never spoken to before. :)

I tend to look at my profile visitors often because I regularly post in that one thread in Forum Games that has you posting who visited your profile. In the past, I used to get intimidated when a staff member visited me but now not so much, probably because I'm not nooby anymore.

To be honest, I rarely look at that section of my profile that much to begin with so I don't think anything of it other than people are stalking an uninteresting profile XD Although when I notice a generous amount of staff that have been lurking, I start getting freaked out, thinking that I've done something wrong :c

But if I notice a bold/colored name, I get a bit nervous wondering if I did something bad, haha!
That's pretty much the other half of what I think of visitors. If I see a blue or orange name, I'm thinking the coppers are onto me, and are trying to shut me out. D:

But, it's fun for me to see who's been checking out my profile. I mean, I spend a long time making it look even presentable, might as well be hospitable. Who knows, maybe I'd make a new friend by stalking who comes around.

I'll be honest: I never actually bothered looking at that section. :D

It's not like there's anyone out there to get me. Plus, I rarely start conversations, so a new visitor or two won't affect my social life at PC. P:

My first thought is always "Oh, what did I say this time?" But I've found surprisingly I'm often liked. I can't see quite why, but I'll just accept that as a good thing.

I'm always open to talking to people and making friends anyway.


You know what? This isn't about your feelings. A human life, with all its joys and all its pains, adding up over the course of decades, is worth far more than your brain's feelings of comfort or discomfort with a plan. Does computing the expected utility feel too cold-blooded for your taste? Well, that feeling isn't even a feather in the scales, when a life is at stake. Just shut up and multiply.

^this so much. Haha.
I normally browse my new followers and try to talk to them. I also revisit my other friends to make sure things are going well with them

I used to get nervous/excited back when I was new and saw staff on my profile. Nervous because maybe I did something wrong (these days usually I know where I went wrong and why staffies are all over my profile :p). Excited because too many staff, hstaff in particular, flooding usually means one thing - promotion. So yeah, that was earlier.

Now it is all the same to me. There's been like 4-5 staff members at my profile at all times in the past one year - mostly because I'm friends with quite a bit of them. Also, since I'm an ex-staffie myself and I know sometimes mods like to lurk (like I did!), it doesn't bother me. :v Anyway, usually I wouldn't bother with a trivial thing like it. But I do it almost daily just to see how far behind my view count is compared to sister Lilith's lel. I've had 117, 400+ visitors so far. Daily views are anywhere between 20-100. Very rarely is it merely 10 or lower. Sister Lilith's views are more than thrice of mine, though. at least she didn't cheat like audy

in my pre-staff days, I get scared when a higher staff member looks at my profile. Whenever I see one or more, I'd be like "OH NO I'M GETTING BANNED."

Now, I don't mind it as much xD

It was much easier to pay attention to new profile visitors back when it only showed the 10 most recent visitors, but with 30 it's a bit tough to see everytime someone new visits your profile. I'll only ever really check them out if it's someone I recognize but know I haven't really spoken to (or stalked) yet, or if like their username, but I usually won't check out complete strangers unless they're the only new visitor haha.

Currently I'm closing in on 30k profile views, though I'm pretty sure a lot of those must've come from a large amount of stalking from my old mod partner ;) The visitors per day count really varies depending on how I active I've been on said day though. I've had days where I've gotten a few hundreds, as well as some where I barely get any. The day of my promotion resulted in a large amount of views, which wouldn't be surprising since only like 2% actually knew who I was then 8D

I never look at my profile visitors, mainly because I don't really care who views my profile, staff or not. Pointless feature in my opinion.

I don't really care if new people visit my profile, and sometimes i'll try to get to know them if i've seen them somewhere on the forums, but if they have a name that doesn't scream memorable to me I probably won't bother. But I don't mind getting VMs and talking to people :P

I barely even pay attention to it lol. But occasionally one will pop up on my list that stands out for some reason or another, like for instance a really long name, a name in all caps, a name that's a reference that I recognize, etc. In that case I'll sometimes check them out.

Now that I think about it though I do wonder, what makes anyone want to check out such an uninteresting person as myself? :-P Im quite surprised I have as many views as I do.
