    There are three or four really close friends online who know everything about me but the exact location of my house. XD; I've known them for a few years, and they're awesome enough to get that close to me. Heck, one of them is talking about being my roommate in a year or two. Now PC-wise.. I think the farthest anyone on PC has gone so far is to know my real name, and what I look like. Anything more than hasn't been achieved by a PC member yet. o_o

    With that being said, no, I certainly don't hand that info out to just anyone.

    I've got a bunch of people from PC added on Facebook (good friends) and most people know my real name and all of PC knows my nickname IRL (hint: it's my username).

    A lot of people around PC know/use my first name. My close friends know my full name, where I live, etc. And I have a few PC friends on Facebook, and a couple have my cell number.

    Do you feel comfortable giving out your personal information online?
    Not really; my first friend on Serebii was a pedo, so I think there may be some creepers here as well. *shifty eyes*

    How far do you go?
    I must know the person for some months and/or trust the person.

    Would you give your first name?
    I may provide a nickname or half of my first name. A handful know my whole firsy name.

    Last name?
    I have revealed my last name to maybe 4 people.

    Age?
    Those who know my first name will most likely know my birth date. I do not list my real age on my profile.

    Gender?
    Yep, so guys know that girls exist on the internet.

    Phone number?
    Two people know... They are from other forums, friendships of 3+ years. I cannot remember sharing my number with someone here, although it is possible.

    Address?
    Many know my state, a handful know my city, and one person knows my actual address... He sent me Birthday presents! <333

    Do you post pictures of yourself?
    To a select few, I share pics... I do not like it, though. I have a... Distinct look; easy to prey on.

    How open are you online?
    On the forums, I had tried my best to hide my name, lol! I am more open on private chats, aka msn.

    How cautious are you with your personal information?
    I am aware of the consequences... Aware of the stories. So I try to know the person first and use whatever instinct I have to deduce if the person is legit or not. :>

    Do you feel comfortable giving out your personal information online?
    Well once I feel that I've gotten to know a person well enough, I'll tell them about myself and such, etc. But if I ever intend to give out personal information it's usually on MSN.

    How far do you go?
    It depends, but usually as far as I'm comfortable with which sounds like a stupid answer.

    Would you give your first name?
    I'm fine with telling people that my name is Patrick, o3o

    Last name?
    Only the people I'm friends with on Facebook know my last name, I think.. <__<

    Age?
    I don't mind people knowing my age as I don't want people to think of me as some 35 year old Pedo Bear or something.

    Gender?
    Most people know that I'm a guy.. hopefully. Except Shivi because he thought I was a girl <3333

    Phone number?
    I only give out my number to people I'm generally close with, but that would only be two people. It would probably give it out to one or two more people I know but I can't because of the technicalities and cost of international texting >:<

    Address?
    Ur... I don't think anybody knows it, but I bet they could figure it out if they wanted to, although I'd rather them not, kthx.

    Do you post pictures of yourself?
    I've posted a few, but I don't really plan on doing so to an extent.

    How open are you online?
    I don't really get into extravagant detail about myself on here.

    How cautious are you with your personal information?
    I usually just use my best judgement when giving things out, which may sound foolish but I generally tend to be careful with the things I give out.

    I'm willing to give out my first name and gender. Age takes a little more. But beyond that, I don't and don't plan on giving any other information.

    First Name?
    Yes
    Last Name?
    Yes
    Age?
    Yes, look up in the top right (it's no lie)
    Gender?
    Yes, I don't like being called a girl.
    Phone Number?
    Only to someone I think I can actually trust with it (no one yet). They can tracked, but that's unlikely (better to be safe than sorry).
    Address?
    No. Never on the internet, until I am old enough that I can defend myself if need be.
    Do you post pictures of yourself?
    Not yet, because I have no good ones XD But if a good one comes up, I'll share it :)

    Overall, I don't hide all that much, but sensitive info, I try to keep as hidden and as safe as possible.

    Do you feel comfortable giving out your personal information online? If at all, only very little. If I think something's too personal, no.

    How far do you go? No idea, really. It's hard to tell how far is too far sometimes.

    Would you give your first name? Yup. Often do.

    Last name? No, not me. ^___^

    Age? To a couple of people, but it isn't something I spread around.

    Gender? I don't suppose it would be too hard to guess anyway, and I make no effort to hide it. ^__^

    Phone number? No way.

    Address? Never. Ever. Ever.

    Do you post pictures of yourself? Not ones that show my face, and even then I've only done it once.

    How open are you online? I suppose I'm pretty open with most things apart from information that people could find me with.

    How cautious are you with your personal information? I've been described as both neurotic and paranoid in real life. Not seriously, but it's possible there's a glimmer of truth. I like to think I'm very cautious, but it's easy to slip up.

    Phone number? A few people
    Address? Most likely not

    I dont mind telling people online my age and gender.

    I do keep my name and other info private for the most part. While my first name isnt as private as the rest of my name, I dont just tell it to anyone.

    Some of my online friends know my phone number, but only the ones I trust the most.
    Other than that, I dont generally give out much personal information

    I don't mind telling people things such as my name, age, city I live in, even certain details about my life, but anymore and I really want to keep it to close friends. The internet, great of a resource as it can be, is filled with a lot of shady characters I would never want to trust, can't say I'd ever even feel comfortable posting any recent picture because of some experiences close friends have gone through.
