Broskirose Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I wouldn't care. I'd be dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblefeet Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 A morbid question!Most everyone will leave a digital footprint once they die, but I'm not so sure who will bother reading up on it... Maybe there is something to be said with today's generation putting more emphasis on how they come across online that in real life, and in a sense you could say that by posting our lives and thoughts online, we are writing our own obituaries of sorts, leaving a digital 'tombstone' of sorts. Some people even go as far as leaving messages online, think about the L.A. kid who went on a fatal killing spree after uploading youtube videos and even writing a lengthy explanation why he did it.Having read what the NSA and google have for algorithms collecting our data, currently every site and service you are registered on is linked somewhere by a database, compiling a 'profile' of you. It's the downside of an internet without rights and legislation. Zero privacy. Personally I'm not as bothered by what people will read after I'm dead, more of what they will read today (think of job screening).Don't forget that on the internet, there are already 'database cemeteries' of old fora and newsgroups, do you still read those? I do admit that I've read the odd older thread from this board, but ultimately there's just so much stuff and millions added each nanosecond. Too much information.Broskirose makes a good point, who cares? Not to get back to the fappening, but I must, what if Jennifer Lawrence had died the week before those pictures got leaked? Do you think people would still check them out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satanisk_Slakt Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'd honestly hate if anyone in real life ever found out I've spent the last ten years on different communities discussing GNR. I've said so many things on these forums too that I hope they'll never find out. Private matters of different kinds. I'd be dead, yeah, so it couldn't possibly affect me, but the mere thought makes me cringe. I don't want them to know about my inner thoughts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Don't worry, I will make them delete your account. Just be sure, I know when you are dead But only if you promise to do the same for me I think, I should ask for some adresses, so they get cards when I am dead. Edited September 19, 2014 by MB.

arnold layne Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 They would probably assume I committed suicide. With that said I am working and high on antidepressants so hopefully that impression is turned around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be ok with this being part of your legacy? Would you want your loved ones to read your posts here?I think soI am passionate about things, but my attention sways.They would probably assume I committed suicide.With that said I am working and high on antidepressants so hopefully that impression is turned around.Everyone has a value.You are expressive, I believe you could write a good book, maybe that is your calling if you have the patience.

GivenToFly Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I was thinking of diaries. Some people keep them and sometimes after they die other people would read them and find out things about the decease they'd never known. I've never kept a diary but I've got 6000 posts here where I give my opinion on different topics and sometimes talk about events in my life, so in a way it serves as a diary.On a related note, isn't it a bit weird how we go through famous dead people's diaries, notes, letters, personal effects, really private stuff and we put in museums.

tinyrobot Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Question is,how anyone here will know such member passed away?None of you know anyone in my family or friends who could inform you of my death, so I don't know. Ultimately, I don't care. Except, I become really famous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'm thinking of opening a wasted Training school based on cloning hologram technology to take over when the alien spaceship comes to pick me up in 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Wouldn't care so much about my posts, I'm not really pretentious about my life. There are a few people from here who have been a really important part of my life, so I'd like some way their friendships could be acknowledged. I do have a small list of posters here who I would love to meet before I die. And a few more who I'd love to keep meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I've made a right knob of myself on here at times over the years. So yeah, pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satanisk_Slakt Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't mean to say I act very different on here to how I do in real life. In fact I don't. Or well, I do, but probably not like you think, that I've created a whole persona that's completely different from the real me.Am I racist in real life? Yeah, I don't like most people from other countries. It is what it is, hate me if you want, but I'll respect anyone who respects me and my country, independent on colour or origin. I don't pretend I like people I don't like in real life, I just avoid them. I guess this is my most significant forum characteristics, so make what you want of it. The biggest difference between here and real life for me is that I'm a lot more open here on the internet than in real life. In real life I'm closed, I don't talk about my feelings a lot, I don't say what's on my mind if nobody asks me. I'm the guy that will sit down and listen while the other people around the table in the lunch room are talking about what they like or don't like. Not because I am ashamed of what my opinions are, like I've said before, I'll say pretty much anything that's on my mind if I'm asked. I don't really filter a lot and a lot of the time people don't like what I say. Big deal. I couldn't care less. The reason I don't talk a lot about it in real life is because I'm introvert. I hate having to talk to people in groups. One on one I've no problems at all. I just hate when five pair of eyes are looking at me and want my opinion on something. I don't like being in the center of attention in real life, which I guess you could argue I do on here.I'd have more to say, but I have to get going now. Hockey time!

Len Cnut Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 My brother posts on here anyway, sister probably wouldn't give a toss, my last bird knew i posted on here, used to have a peek too, i remember her saying one of the lads on here was quite fit, the fuckin' cow. Can't remember for the life of me who it was. One of the mods though I don't think anyone'd care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I just told you, streak, his names streak, he's got an avatar with James Belushi and some fuckin' actor who plays a minor character, a pimp, in Red Heat, apparently this small incidental character in a naff 80s action flick made a profound impression on him, i think it had something to do with his having his fingers broken by Arnold Schwarzenegger til he cried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
