TWTD anonymity...where do you sit? 15:16 - Jan 4 with 18191 viewsclive_baker

It seems to me that there's a spectrum among TWTD posters with regards to their anonymity from the real world. From those that post under their real names, to those that have username's but make no secret of their real identity. There also appears to be posters that know each other through other means, but know each other posts on here. Then, seemingly, posters who only know each other in real life through TWTD, having met at games etc. To posters that maintain a distinctly seperate TWTD profile from their real life one.

Personally, I enjoy relative anonymity on here (I think), partly through design and partly circumstance. With the exception of a couple of posters who I know in 'real life', I'm sure there are many more on here I know but we don't know that we know (if that makes sense?). It's all a matter of personal preference of course.

I prefer relative anonymity. Particularly given that in recent times, a couple of weirdos took the ARSE with me being silly on the internet and try their hand at TAXIng my patience by PM-ing and posting on the forum various personal details.

I prefer to keep relative anonymity, though have prob let on more info about myself on here than I should.

Anonymity is best. I'd hate to realise I'd crossed swords with some of you at a swinger's party.

recently I've met a few posters and it's been excellent.

I'll go in the group that doesn't mind if people know the real life me - it's one of the great things about an internet forum that has a common purpose which includes the chance to say hello to others in person.

I’m quite happy with people knowing who I am (hence linking a few tweets over the years) on here.Obviously when that crosses a line as it did once with cruncher, that’s not what you want to happen.

I’ve met about 20/25 people on this site at games. I stand in front of Brogs at games and often see SteveM on my train after home games. Plus there’s the away regulars that seem to know each other now - (PJH, Bluebell, Steve, Bloons, Mullet, Brogs etc) - I bump into at most away games nowadays.

When we only take a 1000 to northern games, you know people by faces. Some of those happen to also be on TWTD when you get to know them.

I'm relatively open about who I am, that's just for ease more than anything as easier to keep up and fact that initially on Twitter I was just my name and it's generally easy to work out who is who if you look hard enough and people allow you to.

I'm also in a position where I'm not too worried about people knowing me, I can't sack myself, and generally don't end to upset people so don't need to worry about a smear campaign

Immensely sad man that I am I have been posting here for 20 years anonymously and will always do so. I would love to meet some of you IRL but it will never happen.

Like yourself, I do enjoy the relative anonymity on here. I only know a handful of posters on here in real life, with R_I_G being a very good mate of mine. That said, I would be open to meeting others from here in real life, and I wouldn’t be that fussed if more people recognised who I was (through twitter or such like).

Of those you mention I only actually know Bluebell(and you) although I have no doubt seen some of the others without knowing who they are.
The number of TWTDers that I know that I have met only add up to about 7 or 8 but I would have seen a lot more without realising it.

Maybe we could wear a TWTD badge or something.

edit-actually I have met slightly more TWTDers than I thought because I met 5 others for the one and only time at KJ's Children In Need quiz the November before last.

A number of people on here have worked out who I am on Twitter and I post on Twitter under my real name, as Joe says, it's not that difficult to do if you match posts on here to Twitter.

And I also know a reasonable number of TWTDers in real life .... some I knew anyway (Phil, Something Blue, Throbbe), and others I have met through Twitter (Joe, Steve M, Texters, Maccy D) and they have introduced me to others from on here (Hoppy, KJ, Newcy, Guthrum, Mullet).

I also know who a few are in real life without actually having spoken to them (Sitters for one).

Really not fussed if people know who I am.

I'm mates with ITFCJoe, NSBlu1, IpswichLoyal, Texters and probably a few I've missed off.

Always have a chat with RIG, ITFCForever, Taximan, Micknows when I see them and have this season had the pleasure of sitting almost next to Steve M.

I'd always like to chat to more users from here.

I'm in pretty regular contact with TLA, DubTractor and Newcy, as well as having met Callis, Hoppy (a good few times!), Libero and Bluewin.

I'd like to meet Glasgow, J2 and Rommy, and most other people really. There's only 2 or 3 who I have had less than pleasant exchanges with on here.

I am very private and nobody on here actually knows where I live although I have probably mentioned once or twice that it is 150 miles away. That in itself is a lie but near enough give or take 20 miles.

I have only even met a few. The ones I can remember off the top of my head at the moment are Sitters, Hoppy and KJ, PJH, Rommy, Benters, Ryorry, Tractorgirl and Mullet.

As PJH says, I have probably seen more TWTDers as I go to a lot of away games too, but wouldn't recognise them.

I didn't see you on Tuesday Rommy as we were late arriving at Craven Cottage (bloody tube trains!). I assume you were at the back? We were in Row J. We always seem to get near the front there.

I assume you made it there this time.
