I found my Escapist profile through Google. Now I'm scared.

Given the overwhelming glut of information to be found on the Internet, anything related to you found via Google is probably as safe as a needle in the world's largest haystack.

 

[Doctragon]

Wow, googling 'Doctragon' comes up with some pretty awesome pictures. They're mainly stuff that was on Topless Robot, a nerd blog I comment on but it looks really cool all fit together. I love that my internet life can be summed up in such awesome pictures. Hell, there's even one of Molly Lewis on page 3! The girl with the monkey on her shirt, if you're wondering. She does awesome music.

Googled my real name and found my Facebook account and graduation stuff. Nothing else.

I searched for Redlin5, I got this account and my Youtube account.

I'm pretty careful about privacy but you shouldn't be too concerned.

google me i am everywhere, things from years ago come up! its amazing! and there is some Korean who stole my name, one day i will find him and he will know the wrath of FREEZE! (i am talking about myself in the third person, using a pseudo-name should i be worried?)

It's not the internet you should be afraid of, it's the guy standing behind you with a machete.


His name is Steve.

Steve the red ninja... Sorry, it's a joke my friends and i came up with.

OP:
Congratulations! You googled yourself, how do you feel? Seriously, why do you care? I don't. And that policy has served me very well for 20 years.

I found 8 pages of my profiles and people re posting my videos from youtube and links to post on these forums

I know this isn't the best way to put it but there is no need to get paranoid because your just not that important to other people. There is probably over a billion people on the net and I doubt your going to be stalked any time soon.

 

[Cuppa Tetleys]

I found my facebook profile by searching my name in Google. Although I was smart enough to NOT put any personal information, the majority of my friends have, and we all live quite close. That is pretty scary, especially if you have a stalker.

 

[BakaSmurf]

Googled my username, found all of the sites that I'm registered to with this handle, and one site where Suiseiseki IRL (now Timotei) mentioned me.

As well as several sites I've never even heard of before where some bastard usurped my name and is currently using it to sully my good name... I can sully my good name on my own, thank you very much you damn... userper... stealie... people!

Oddly enough my facebook profile doesn't show up on a Google search of my name, but my facebook profile image will come up on an image search. It's probably a facebook friend with lax settings, at least it's thumbnail sized. ~.~

 

[JIst00]

I just LOL'd, why would you be scared, it contains no more personal nformation that you put on it, and whats already availiable on the net anyway.

By the way, do you have a Facebook account? Dont google yourself if you do, you'll have nightmares.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

[The DSM]

I found mine.

My friends actually E-stalk me thorugh it to see what I write.

Stop e-stalking me sam!

 

[Sacman]

You have nothing to worry about.

Spoiler: I'd worry if you see something like this though

Ah yes, I remember Maxthereaper. Always saw him hanging around the Off Topic sections I never really talked to him/her? cause I was primarily a Lurker at the time... but does anyone remember why he was BANNED? last time I went to check it 404'd...

 

[Mistermixmaster]

I'm not right fussed about it, as I found my Escapist, Youtube, Xfire and Twitter account straight of the bat, along with a lot of my comments on escapist threads and youtube vids. Hell, I even found a post from the Relic forums about some trouble I had with Company of Heroes xD I find it funny really.

 

[tomtom94]

Why would you be scared? It's just an internet profile. No-one can do anything with it.

 

[5-0]

If you wanna get really scared just google your email address. I did, and found to my horror it was visible to everyone on a site affiliated with Gamespot that I didn't officially sign up for.
