How often do you e-stalk people? Intentional or not.

Because you know one quick look at a picture on Facebook leads to the next 15 minutes of looking at pictures that you really have no business seeing.

Right now I'm stalking Rantzien! :ichigo::hello::hello::hello::hello:

I don't usually e-stalk people. Sometimes if someone pisses me off I'll be inspired to find out about their life. Then I get bored. BECAUSE THEIR LIVES ARE BORING.

I have a few awesomely good childhood friends who live far away, and when I miss them I'll look through their pics.

Is it stalking if you're friends with them?

I think when I e-stalk, I do it on accident - aka, without thinking. Like you said, one picture turns into fifteen minutes spent ogling the rest of their albums.

edit: I'm gonna be the first to admit to (briefly) e-stalking boyfriends' exes.

Sometimes if I stumble upon an old classmate from elementary school I'll be like "huh I wonder how s/he turned out" and stalk for a bit.

Nothing beats having a dossier on anyone you encounter; consider it a real-live bestiary.

BoB had a fun game on Aiyon relating to this, short-lived as it was.

I stalk EVERYONE :shifty:

:O!

I stalk both intentionally and un-ditto. I'm pretty creepy about it! I go to their Facebook wall and check out ALL their activity. For example, I now know that Yar's experience of a Japanese class is highly dependent on the presence of Mike Gillum in the class :monster:

All. The. Time.

But mainly only if I have or have had a crush on said individual.

Be afraid, Yar. Be very afraid.

I've stopped stalking people.

Now, I just contact them directly if I'm interested in them, that way, things get done much faster.

I e-stalk people who I find interesting!

Yeah if I see a picture that looks interesting on FB I may look at it and in turn look at a bunch of pictures from that person.

I am known to do this from time to time. Sometimes because I'm interested in them in one way or another, and other times because I don't know who they are and they've tried to contact me. Sometimes it's for EoFF staff reasons, like when we try to figure out a possible second account. Finally, there are the few and far between occasions where I try to trace down someone I used to know.

I do this all the time. I don't consider it major stalking. Just play-stalking.

Ahahaha, I think pretty much every ex I have has talked to at least half of the rest of my ex's at some point.

If I was to e-stalk someone it would be troublesome to have them know that I am. So I will say no to the topic, but keep in mind that it can be taken as the truth or a lie.

E-stalking also has the advantage of a lack of rustling bushes. :bigsmile:

E-stalking has NOTHING on real stalking. It has not the adrenaline nor the anxiety.
E-stalking whilst suspended 30 foot over a busy road, however! That makes the cut. :love:

This is why you set the fb privacy settings to probe all people who look at my profile before they even realize it's not the right percival galdan.

It's like a game, and I'm not going to cave in and use a strategy guide. :p

I occasionally use Facebook to browse through people's photo albums and their wall (if I care). I wouldn't really call that stalking though, but Facebook is basically Stalkerbook so I dunno.

I don't recall ever e-stalking anyone ever.

Stalker.

I e-stalked Shlup once a few years ago to get her mailing address. I did a full background check, looked up medical records (it's true, they're real), and hacked into her computer.

And by that I mean I asked her friend for it.

We had a presentation to make this week, but no one was really sure who all was in our group.

Allie-hime: Okay, I know you are, Daws Boss, and I am, and that guy is... I know this other guy is because he approached me directly. Weren't there six of us?
Daws Boss: yeah, I think so. Let's ask the prof.

. . .

Springer-sensei: I have a list, but my office is a clustersmurf of paper shambles. You'll never see it again. The other names of possible people are Scott, John, Nathan, and maybe one of the italian guys.

. . .
Allie-hime: Okay, I know Scott isn't, I already asked him. WTF are John and Nathan?
Jeremy: I know Nathan, so I'll ask him.

Allie-hime: Hey, does anyone know who this John guy is?
Sara-sama: Well, he's kinda blond, with a big nose...
Allie-hime: ...That... That doesn't help ;_;
Jeremy: Okay... Let's see if we can facebook him.

Jeremy: man, none of these profiles seem to match that description.
Allie-hime: Are you guys sure you don't know who this guy is?
Mechanical Engineers: . . .

Anyways, presentation's tomorrow, and we never actually did hear back from John and Nathan, so I guess they aren't actually in our group or don't care. Not a big deal for us, but it would be for them!

You just don't even know. I've found PDFs of lease agreements. If it's in the public record I will find it.

It's pretty smurfed up.

I tend to e-stalk people my friends crush on. "Oh so-and-so is so cool! I really like them." *e-stalks* "Yeah they're cute! Did you know they like making puppet shows with a flashlight?"

OH WAIT I have a video for this.

Pretty rarely, but when my hot friend from uni told me she had a hot younger sister, I did check it/her out =].

And also when a guy befriends my girlfriend on Facebook. :colbert:

I have a few friends that are a little on the preppy side, and one of my favorite things to do is look at their pictures and laugh at how they all look the same.
