:eek: really? Can you give a clue as to who that was?

I dont think anyone on here NOW will remember him. He was on about 4 years ago maybe? He did this picture thing for a lonnnnnng time. I never used to look at pics on here of people so I hadd no clue as to how he looked. He would always talk to me then said he was in love with me and i was like WTF?! He even said "dont you think im hott like the rest of the girls on the board?" :eek: I told him I hadd not seen his pic but have heard great reviews! Then aftr a while i looked, thought hmm......WHY is a hott guy like THAT "in love" with ME?! He got comfy and showed me his REAL picture. Turns out, he was a mess. Lots of emotional and self esteem problems.

well hopefully it will come out... but I've a feeling this will be one of those things that we'll eventually just forget about and never figure out who it is :(

But yep, the fact that the OP Is somebodys sister, means she's female... and if someone has been stealing HER pics, they too should really be female. But then the name might mean nothing. Also it doesn't say whether the pics are 'hers' or not anyway, hmmmm... the plot thickens.

And yeh, it's very very embarrassing... and pathetic. I would want nothing to do with somebody who does that. Chicken. Either post your pic or don't but don't pretend you're something or somebody you're not.

Assuming everything you said is true, the person posting the pics would have to know that the pics would bring them lots of attention, and their true pics would not bring them as much or any attention. Why else do it? Unless, of course, you hated your sister. So, if you are profiling, the person in question is someone who wants a lot of attention for the way they look. Also, you narrow the search by omission. If the OP (which I assume means offending party) becomes embarrassed by the sisters revelation, the offender will either stop posting immediately and disappear, or they will post more to avoid suspicion. Therefore, to avoid becoming a suspect, you have to post everyday for the next year, and you can't make too many posts in a single day.

Ok... NOW I have a headache!

Especially cos, by OP, I meant original poster (the person who started the thread... so I've had to translate otherwise... now we're gonna have people using both this could get messy)

Hmm... ok, so we're looking for somebody who LOVES attention and gets it Nah, I'm just drawing a blank here

So, who's going to make a list of every person who posted his/her pic, eliminate the people that can be identified (you'd have to have a reliable source, though) from the list? You can also eliminate the people who have only posted one picture.

well their lives must be pretty damn boring. If it is to trick people, well that's pretty fucking dispicable... but there's always the chance it's just someone whose life is really pathetic and miserable that they have to pretend to be somebody else. In which case, it's really sad.

It would be in the interest of the person who is putting pictures up here and then claiming that they are that person, for them to cease immediately.

Further action will be taken if this continues.

OK.

Unless of course, jamie's in on it too! Perhaps you bribed jamie with your superior weed (nederwiet really is superior, I saw the stats! it's the only weed that improved significantly over the last 10 years!)

edit: improved or has improved?

The Pit needs better search functions. The obvious place to start is the post a pic of yourself thread and find all multiple pic posters. Also, cross reference the results of that search with a search that finds all the people who have posted pictures in threads not requiring pictures. Or else, we could just start randomly accusing people and see there reaction. We could assign a pair of pit members as the investigators, you know, good cop-bad cop. I think Helen should be the good cop and TrixieCat the bad cop. Let the accusations begin.

I never understood how one can pretend to be several different people. Like HOW do you act one way HERE then in real life act another? Isnt it too hard? The way one person became "popular" here was built on someone they TOTALLY are not in real life. Its AMAZING how one can flirt and speak so freely in a sexxxual manner HERE but in real life......they are quiet and closed up......

Have I ever posted any pics? I don't recall... Damn web of lies. I can't even remember all the people I've claimed to be or places that I've claimed to have been.

If I'm the person under investigation. I will cease and desist all stories, tales, lies, and exaggerations.

I can vouch for you. We're brothers from a different mother! And anyone can vouch for me because I'm freakin' awesome!

keep in mind there have been SEVERAL picture threads. If one is wise enough, you can search threads started by the original picture thread starter

Well, how can serial killers always be the person everybody least suspects: "He was such a quiet person. Never bothered anybody, and always kept to himself." And in another life, the person is a raving lunatic capable of horrendous acts of violence. Actually, the internet offers the perfect opportunity to explore things one might not be capable of in their day to day lives.

:eek: Jaysus! Perhaps some kind of database is needed? this could be time consuming... but I'll quite happily do/co-do the interrogation when the time comes

Phew, I wasn't sure there for a second. I mean, I do drink and smoke the herb a lot and even sleepwalk from time to time, so who knows what all I'm capable of...

I've met one or two of those. I think most people are just like their screen persona or better... but there were a couple of people I've been very surprised at :(

Abookamongstthemany

Well, I've met quite a few people from here so it ain't me...or maybe I was wearing an incredibly convincing mask and managed to just narrowly escape before Scoob and the gang showed up to yank my mask off and reveal me as a fraud! :eek:

This has happened to me twice before and all because of LJ. I'm not on LJ anymore but for those of you who know what I am talking about I was obsessed with those rating communities,and I joined ones that werent public so I thought I was safe and some stupid whore stole my pictures went to a rating community posted them and she was a friend of mine on LJ!!! She was this fugly old woman who I felt bad for because she had no life so sometimes I would instant message with her, and she was ALWAYS online I should have known something was wrong. I threatened to press charges and every profile she had online disappeared. Then I found them again on some dude's journal he had stolen like a thousand pics from rating communities saying stuff like this is my new gf isnt she hot, and I was like WTF no way, so I had to threaten pressing charges again....argh!

what I hate the most is when someone is all " ooh I would think that was so flattering"

That is really scary...I never really thought about the fact that someone could steal your pic online and use it for whatever purpose they see fit. I know some people are hesitant to post pics online, etc. and just thought it was their sense of privacy, etc. but this adds a whole other level

yeah i know. I was trying to put it nicely so that these specific people are not......"revealed" :eek: Hadd it been a couple months ago when I was in a different state of mind, i would have WITHOUT hesitation said who they are & what they did!!!

I knew you would be shocked and dismayed that such a thing could happen! I think maybe it's more that they're tricking themselves...it's an escape - they can be anyone they want to be and probably isn't that uncommon. I think MTV just had a true life episode about this but I missed it
