Do you guys stalk others profiles to observe their conversations with people?

I did it a lot when I was a new user, who just used the website for the list. I used to get jealous about all the conversations others were having because I wanted internet friends like that...then I just realized all I needed to do to have those same experiences was talk to people.

No that's creepers.

... But I'd totally do it to my boyfriend if he was talking to literally anyone else. After all, rules are meant to have exceptions.

So far I've been stalked by @-Senpai- & @Deago.
They've literally gone to both of our profiles just to observe our conversations..

Is this normal or should I stay clear of weirdos like these?

Yes, you should stay clear of weirdos like those. Well, they're probably just harmless, bored people, really. I mean, unless you're posting some really private information on the internet, which I'm sure you know better.
Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you.

sometimes. it's funny how people go super into detail with it. To the point where they're always replying with "sorry for the late reply" because their reply is like 5 paragraphs long mla format with an introduction, body and conclusion.

Stalking profile pages is a great way to read online drama when you're bored.

You'd be surprised the amount of very personal things people would say to each other on a public platform.

I don't do that anymore. But it was hilarious when a bunch of us shares about what oddities we found on MAL.
pls share some. for the greater good.

Sometimes, to be honest.

If the topic at hand is about an anime of interest too.

I do stalk interesting looking conversations.
If someone's having a fight, or there's been an online proposal, I'll be there.

Usually I just look at the about me section and the list, smirk at their shit taste and leave.

I've never really visited another person's profile, unless I want to make a rec and need to see their list.

A lot of people look at my profile when I go on forums though, so I tend to lurk and not particularly post on them.

is looking at someones profile supposed to be a negative thing?

ot: I do that sometimes when Im curious as to what theyre talking about since theyre being so vague

My profile is fucking stupid, so I don't really want to herd people to it via the forums.

I guess I'm just embarrassed.

Sometimes it's amusing interesting to see how people make friends.
But I honestly don't understand why make those conversations public.
OT: never stalked anyone, I just check out some forum threads regularly.

I do this with people i talk to on a regular basis, to see who is talking to who.

Eg. I am in a club with a skype group which is almost always active so I have met a major chunk of the active members. So I sometimes stalk their profiles to see their past conversations with other members.

And to be honest I really don't think its that bad to do so. The conversations are public. Someone was bound to read them eventually. >_>

I do it occasionally on deviantart, because 'stalking' the profile of my favourite fanart artists allow me to see the other side to them; such as their inspirations for drawing, their circles (that more often than not share similar style), and also their future projects so i'll have something to look forward to.

On generally unproductive MAL members? Waste of time.

Pretty much this and what someone said on the previous page about wanting to know the backstory to a comment. Sometimes if I get curious about a user I'll check their recent forum posts too and I don't even feel a little bit guilty because it's their public persona.

For me, if I want to talk about something that is sensible information, I'll take it to a private message and I suppose other users do the same.

That said, how the hell can you tell who's visiting your profile???

@Comic_Sans I'm sure your fans stalk you too.

Well, maybe haters with multiple accounts are the majority... but I think everyone that has haters, also has some fans!

I only go to someones profile to add them as a friend or to message them which is basically almost never.

I wont add someone or PM someone unless I really like that person.

As far as stalking peoples profiles...well its kinda weird. but at least this isn't face book where people upload a bunch of personal information. like friends, family members, relationship status. one of the many reasons I stay away from facebook.

Uh, no. Never deliberately open other users profile just to read their conversations but I do at some occasion, when I scroll it down through to see their favorite list, stumble upon the comment section and sometimes I found it interesting then read it, but that's all nothing more. I am actually more on stalking user post, lots of users here have insightful post, or sometimes funny that always fun to read.

No, I just view profiles of members I haven't seen before.
Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons.
It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

I might do it if:
1) it's about what this site is about
2) it is about something related to my interests
3) the people seem to actually know their shit

This doesn't mean I care of them as people or their relationship with others.
