STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

travelgirl · Kate Spade

Do you think anyone spies on your Stylethread postings?

Hermes

yes, and mostly because everyone I know, personally and professionally, knows about stylethread. I have even been called out on a post by a girlfriend. I pretty much have to post knowing it's possible that my entire little world sees it.

erin · Chanel

i don't think my husband cares enough to check st but he knows i post here. when i talk to people in my life i am vague saying a "fashion messageboard."

that said, being a public messageboard, i wouldn't write anything here that i would feel uncomfortable with anyone i know reading. (since it could be possible! hi mom - bush stinks!)

Kelly · Hermes

I don't know of anyone that does for sure, but I've wondered it a few times. I've visited ST on my boyfriend's computer and on a friend's computer. Said friend gets a kick out of doing "spy things" and I wouldn't doubt for a second that if he saw ST in his history he'd check it out to see if he could read my posts. But in both cases, I guess I figure a) it'd take a while for either my boyfriend or my friend to figure out who I am among all the myraid of posts and members that they'd probably give up before figuring it out and b) nothing I say on here is something I wouldn't say to them, so I don't care.

I would feel weird about lots of friends/family members looking at ST if they knew I was on here, but I don't tell many people about ST because I feel weird being like "so, my internet friend said this today..." But as it is right now, I don't think I'm in much danger

ETA: I lied. I just remembered a few posts I've created that were about my boyfriend and that friend and how to deal with certain things affecting our relationships. I guess I'd be unhappy if they read those before I was ready to breach the topic with them!

ditto that (erin, you're too cute!) i don't think anyone i know irl knows about st, though.

Metric · Gucci

My mom used to. Then I changed my user name and I don't think she knows that so her facinating eventually petered out since she thought I wasn't posting anymore.

Kitty · Hermes

My boyfriend knows, but I highly doubt he'd be interested enough to look on here.

And like erin, I don't post anything on here that I'm not comfortable w/ anyone reading.

Jahni · Dooney & Bourke

I think my bf does occasionally. He vaguely knows about ST because I've mentioned it a few times, but more than once he's used exact phrases that i've typed on here (does that make sense?). It kind of bugs me because I like my privacy/independance but I guess if it bothered me enough I wouldn't use my first name as my screen name...hi andy, quit reading my posts.

Ditto. My bf and a few friends know about this site, but I don't think any of them care enough to read it. In fact, I will want to show the bf something on here and I have to practically force him to open up the link.

dangergirl · Kate Spade

i doubt that my bf would bother, especially as i haven't said that i actually post messages on here. i would probably be kind of embarrassed if some of the people who i know but am not friendly with had read my posts but anyway, i'm leaving uni soon

Sandy · Kate Spade

Anyone who goes on my laptop could potentially lurk I guess... ST is my homepage. I had some trouble a while back with someone I know coming on here, but that's in the past and I'm pretty positive that this person doesn't care anymore. My boyfriend, mother, and sister know about ST, but none of them care enough to even remember it by name. I think I'd be embarassed if anyone I know IRL read some of my posts and found out who I am, because sometimes I vent and come to you all with problems that nobody else knows about.

BargainQueen · Marc Jacobs

DH knows I post here, like erin, I sometimes start with "the fashion girls online said...", but he could care less about checking out the forum, much less anything related to women's fashion.

Other than DH, my friend who used to work w/me knows about it and I know she lurks sometimes, so I'm very hesistant to post personal issues.

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

Everyone in my life knows about ST (seeing as how I met most of my closest friends on here...well, this is thrice removed for Vanessa, but you all know what I mean). I don't think that they would bother to look though. I have showed my BF some pics and stuff that people have posted and he never seems terribly interested. He appreciates that this is "my thing".

NCshopper · Hermes

Eh, doubtful. I mean, someone would have to wade through a LOT of my posts to get to anything that might remotely be deemed "juicy" you know? My mom, DH, and one friend know about ST and I doubt they lurk. If they did, whatever, because I'm not going to post anything that would jeopardize a real-life relationship.

cat · Marc Jacobs

To my knowledge none of my friends or family know I post on here.
I have told my bf I post on a fashion forum,but I didn't tell him the name of it and he really does not care.

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

Yeah , I have a nagging suspicion that a close family member does.

janey831 · Kate Spade

I dont think so, although my bf knows I post and teases me for posting on my "shopping" forum.

Hi AllieGurl's family member!

(we're really friendly here.)

If anyone is spying on me, I pity them. My internet life is NOT that interesting.

blink · Coach

yes, I worry about this. I don't think I have said anything too horrible, besides venting about an in-law here and there, but it's easy to be very revealing in forums and therefore I don't generally tell people I know about this site.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

My current bf just knows I go on a pink and white fashion site (doesn't know the name/doesn't care). My ex on the other hand knew this site well and use to spy on me over here and I'm sure still does every now and then. I have since changed my name because of it and have had to make some other pages private around the internet (he became too stalkerish for me) and ban one of my friends since kindergarten because he was the feeder to the ex.
