Who?

[Swan]

Yeah sure, i feel like most people on here are casuals.

[Kate!]

I've trusted a few members with my phone number. Only regretted it once.

[ThomasC]

I'd be up for a meet though, but once you've got my number you'd probably never leave me alone and I'm a very busy man

[AnnieK]

I rarely answer my phone anyway.....wouldn't give my number to just anyone but a couple of people I have trusted it with.

[MTVN]

Probably would some people, I was thinking the other day how much more widely our numbers are available to people these days though since the advent of WhatsApp group chats and the like. Suddenly your phone number can be seen by dozens of people you might not know well at all just if you share some groups with them

[Cherie]

there are a few people I would share with, not done it though

[Calderyon]

No.

[bots]

there are other methods of contact i would use before giving out my number

PM is more than enough, imo.

Maybe email, if i made another for the specific purpose of that.

[Oliver_W]

I meeeaaan it's easy enough to block people from texting or calling, so I've no real reason not to give my number out

[Niamh.]

Yeah a few people I would

[thesheriff443]

Yes and have done.

[Beso]

Mods shouldn't be advocating this...

[thesheriff443]

I’d call a few things but that’s not one of them .

[smudgie]

Yes.
A few people on here that would be good to chat to…in real life.

[Niamh.]

Actually I gave Vicky my phone number so she could add my whatsApp when she joined, she never used WhatsApp though in the end, stuck with Messenger

[Crimson Dynamo]

That's fair enough
Vicky has had problems

She's had a lot going on in her life in recent years

[Redway]

I actually would in theory but in practice I’m very private when it comes to giving out such personal information so I’d probably rather not.

[Redway]

One thing I’d say about TiBB in an allied sense is that more people than not are fundamentally honest people (the likes of “Mollie” aside) and tend to be at least fairly similar to what they say they are. The trolling on here (outside the obvious illiterate abuse one notorious member who no-one would trust as far as they could throw him spew for years and years and years) tends to be more bait (which I don’t like but that’s just kind of inevitable) than image deception. I think the days of the latter are long gone. It’s just about your own personal boundaries and how comfortable you feel giving out personal information with forum members in general. Personally I’m not comfortable doing that because of the way my personality’s set up (it goes without saying that I’m pretty reserved when it comes to things like that) but it’s not borne out of distrust per se.

**** no
