      Why do you care who looks at your profile page here? Why would an OP who joined five days ago be worrying about this....or visiting enough profiles to notice this?

      Naming people as if they've done something wrong (profiles aren't private info) is a bit close to gossip.

        Here's the funny part of this.
        Almost every other profile I visit, I can see these two's name on their "Recent Visitors-The Last 10 Visitors were" tab.

    Hrmm...

    To find out, I guess one thought might be to, oh, I don't know... visit my WF profile?

    Alternatively, you could always ask me; I'm hardly shy.

    I've seen a lot more of Stephen Root than David, although David does get around. Stephen Root is at almost nearly all of the posts that I report as spam or other bad behavior. Neither have visited my profile, at least not recently enough to be listed.

      Well, if we're going to dig up IMDb profiles, might as well show mine, too:
      Dave Beroff - IMDb
      (I just wish I could get them to list my first name correctly; ah, well.)

      Here's the actual video short referenced in that profile. It's pretty NSFW (or is that "NSFWF"?), but we did win the Best Directing and Audience Choice Awards at the 48 Hour Film Project 2008 Philadelphia.

          It's funny how this thread has gone from "why did he visit these profiles?" to "how come he didn't?"... not that I mind either way; it's just curious.

            I was curious because Stephen Root is on almost ALL of the spammers I report and you have visited many of those also. Do you report a lot of spam?

              I do, although it's pretty frustrating that it seems tougher to report them (with the mandatory delay) than it is for them to do what they do in the first place.

              It seemed much quieter when we had to pay a few dollars to register.

                Yes, it was. A mere $5 would eliminate a large portion of the spammers.

    Can't believe I started such a thread. Probably because I was drunk last night. Not that I am not drunk right now, but at-least I can think logically. (Let's be honest, all of you would have done far more embarrassing things in the past when you were drunk)

    Anyways, David Beroff seems like a very nice guy and I wish I could remove his name from the thread title now - but seems like I can't edit it anymore. Maybe someday he'll visit my profile again and even send me a friend request.

      You should still be able to edit his name out of the thread title. Go to Edit --> Go Advanced and then make your changes.

      LOL... no worries; it's all good! It's been said that there's no such thing as bad publicity, and I guess this thread is one demonstration of that.

      As for befriending, it looks like you actually turned that feature off.

    Hey Matt - since you already have a thread going, you're okay this time.......but.....
    You need to realize that in the OT you don't ever come in and just put "delete" in a subject if someone's answered and you can't delete it. You have to think of something to say. Anything. But "nevermind" doesn't fly in here.

      Hey, I'd personally be just fine with the original title and post restored (or even just summarized). I've gotten far more traffic with this one thread than I've had with anything else here. It all goes back to "no such thing as bad publicity". Cheers!
