Not graduating but just an observation

With great interest have I been reading the graduation thread.
It is one of the most interesting threads I have read in a long long time. I think we can pad ourselves on the back.

There is just something really interesting I noticed on the sleuth message boards, after being here for two years. Something that is quite different from other message boards and communities I have been in. Though we have brushed on topics what our favorite movies are, whether we think it is soda or pop, the books we read, and mystery games. We also know where we come from. On ocassion we discuss current events.

But no one ever posts about their actual life? Not only who we are, what we do, our family etc. But what happened in our lives, our day to day. Or anything behind being pretend detectives. I am one of the few people that for some reason (unknown to me except that jojo started) most people call Nikkie even on the message board, referring to my real name. As far as I know my bio, actual refers to me as a person outside of sleuth.

I personally would like to see more of that in here. But I am right assuming others don't? For as long as these message board exists we are still on the topic of new game ideas, newbie questions, and pub quizzes. I am assuming this is for a reason. Obviously no one has to share, but at the way our boards are now......I'd feel weird for it even being an option if I created a thread about something that happened to me today.

Personally what I like most about sleuthchat. Is that you are not talking to a bunch of pretend detectives, but actual people.

Great thread idea, first of all

I'm Kristin, 26, from a suburb of Boston, MA. Aside from the fact that I have WAY too much time on my hands to play sleuth, I work at a small construction supply company as an office manager. Went to college in Boston, got a criminal justice degree, and promptly went to work as a private investigator....let me just state for the record, the real thing is NOT as fun as sleuth, the cities arent as exotic, people clam a LOT more, and you don't get to hoof it around town, you sit in your car ALL day long :) No pets, no kids, no significant other to speak of though I will say that Moira and Daniel (see, first names!) have the most amazing story *wink wink*

Hey hey, there, Miss Magnum. Let's get the facts straight. You're the one who flashed your junk in the first place! So, please take back the anti-Crunch flashing snarkiness. (not that you were really snarky, but I love that word)

I mean, really. If you're gonna go blaming him every time he flashes someone's junk, there's not gonna be time for any of the other really cool stuff we'll be blaming him for later.
