The Signature book is a great thread - but one word of warning. Do not post the full name of any user on this site who has not given consent, or who has not posted their name *publicly* elsewhere here.
One post has been removed for this reason already. I hope this doesn't put a downer on the thread, which I think is a great idea.

Originally posted by RussI can agree with this so many times. It's irratating to play chess and be asked questions like "what's your name" and "where are you from". It's disturbing how many people on the internet actually expect you to answer these questions. I stopped playing on yahoo for this very reason. It's a bad idea to put real information on an open server. There are too many hackers, weirdo's and just plain strange people out there for me ever to do this. I've never rec'd a post from the admin before because it seems redundant, but I do so now.

I need my m,edication, obviously
I've thought about posting there also... but don't want to give out my name whale either.

I personnaly see no harm in giving general info.
I met my girlfriend online and we met up a few weeks later. we dating for over 8months now and i have sence moved cities to be closer
if i had not been willing to chat and share information this would never have happened.

Originally posted by villa68That's great honestly. Hopefully you got to know each other over time. I mean when a complete stranger asks in a game, or in a pvt, for that type of information it sends off red flags. Sorry it's just a sore spot with me because it became so common for people to just start asking personal questions. I'd tell them I was just trying to play chess and I'd get some rather interesting replies. If you saw the way people were harrassed on other servers like yahoo, etc. maybe you'd get my point.

I'm already attached, so I guess that parts covered too. 😉
I am happy you found your girlfriend though.
