    so I though that making a thread would work. Profiles I want to talk about profiles. Do you look at them 'cause I don't. Whatcha gonna do to make them more interesting? Do you think they're interesting?

    To further my feigned interest in profiles you guys can explain your profile information in case you entered obscure information in there to sound cool (i did!) and have been waiting years months or days to open up your darkly cloudy soul to others.

    I just put stuff in my profile so it's there. I don't really pay attention to how it presents me xD

    Yeah, I'm not one to care, either. If people choose to view my profile more power to them. They're not going to learn anything they haven't learned on the boards.

    You learn things about who you feel you should be but then you see these things are not you at all.

    Nobody looks at profiles. It's like that tag on your mattress. No one reads it, and if they actually do...well they probably own an ant-farm too.

    I only ever look at profiles when I'm about to PM someone or when I'm investigating someone to see if they're a second account.

    Oh and also for usernotes, but I don't usernote that much.

    If it's someone who has changed their signature and avatar to a certain theme, I might take a look at the profile to see if they filled it in all to that certain theme, because I always think that's rather cool. Otherwise, what Miriel said: for PMs and usernotes, mainly.

    I sometimes look a profiles if I can't figure out if somebody is male or female. Most of the time I just look at profiles to usernote or PM. I hardly ever usernote anymore in comparison to how much I used to.

    Professional kneebiter was a Hitchhiker's guide reference, I think, and the sword tale bit is a reference to our forum description which is taken from Penny Arcade.

    I look at profiles when I want to know more about people, which is generally entirely pointless since most of us don't put much relevant information there. Wouldn't want to give those stalkers too much to work with.

    My profile is filled with quote lyrics, nonsense, and half-truths. Much like my life. I rarely look at people's profiles.

    Did I do this thread right? I only skimmed the first post because it was kinda boring. I read a few posts but those were boring too.

    I only use the Profile to find out what people are doing if I'm bored. And usernotes.

    Mine is filled with false and often contradictory information.
