I do most of my moderating in the early hours of the morning at which time I am usually moderating naked. [sub]Tuba? is that allowed?[/sub] ---

Yeah, I once posted my nude pic on the internet. What? oh. Please forget that then. Seriously, I post in all sorts of clothes, usually at work, or just home from, so mostly dressed. Also in boxers or nothing at all on the weekends. ---

WOAH!! I thought I’d do this thread about what forums people post to, etc. “Nude Posting” was just a cutesy name for it, and now look what has been unearthed! The sordid underbelly of the SDMB. Hardly a pair of pants to be seen. Not only naked posting but naked moderating! **Euty** , I see **Tuba** hasn’t replied to your question… hmmm, makes me think you’re not the only nude SDMB official. Makes me wonder about Cecil… ---

1. Been following Cecil since 1979 when I encountered the Baltimore City Paper 2. In late 94/early 95, ran into Usenet’s alt.fan.cecil-adams ; found out while there about the SD page on AOL, did not avail myself of it, well, 'cause I didn’t have AOL 3. In Aug 99 joined the non-AOL SDMB 4. Do a lot of GQ and GD posting… way more than any other section of the Board. 5. No, not naked, sorry. Normally in my being-around-the-house clothes (khakis/jeans, t-shirt, stocking feet; shorts if it’s warm) jrd ---

I’ve been visiting the boards on & off since its AOL days. I mostly lurk, rarely start threads. I spend most of my time in IMHO, because it’s a nice medium between GQ and MPSIMS. I sometimes cruise th Pit, but I never post there. Normally I am wearing clothes or pyjamas or at least a robe when I post, but just especially for this post, I got naked. 😃 ---

I post mostly at night - in MPSIMS - I lurk other places though. I first heard about the straigtdope from watching the tv show on A&E back in the early 90’s. Found the website about a year ago - lurked for a while before joining. I just got “Triumph of the Straightdope” this week and am reading it now. I have upon occasion posted nekkid - one time I thought of something I wanted to post while in the shower and barely dried myself off - much less took the time to dress - before posting. I have never started a thread but I did ask a question in GQ once. ---

I’ll have to blame \*\* Drachillix \*\* for turning me onto the SDMB. He showed it to me for the sig lines and then when there was a particular interesting Greate Debates. I was bored at work, remembered the catchy name,(I am computer help desk at a college computer lab) and the rest is history. I like MPSIMS best but rarely start a thread—I am too busy reading posts! I have posted a thread a time or two, but because I wanted input, which the people of the board were of great help. I usually post from home, because they do pay me to work and students invariably ask me for help, so I can’t get into posting like I can at home, where I am naked, just like I am now. You asked. ---

My friend Catalyst (whose currently in NY for three weeks…I miss you, man _sniff_) gave me a link to an interesting post one night. I looked at Great Debates, but they give me a headache! I usually stay in MPSIMS or BBQ Pit. This has enhanced my life greatly. _sniff_ If only it could enhance my bust size (or sex life) as well… Have never posted naked. No chance of having a parental unit walking in on me, nosiree. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hazel \* > \*\*GD is my favorite. …At first, I just read Cecil’s columns. I sent in some questions, but he never answered any of them. … having noticed the forums, I lurked for a bit, and eventually posted two of my questions in GQ. \*\* That tallies with my experience, if it makes anyone feel better. I wrote Cecil a couple of email about a project he’d documented where I was the main designer. Any response? Nope. Then I was writing troubleshooting for a call center, and I thought: Why not show these guys and girls there’s a bigger world. Where people actually question assumptions. Luckily “The Straight Dope” had gone online. Then I realized the medicine for the patients was also good for the doctor. My Straight Dope habits are writing from a comfy leather chair, when I’ve finished the daily writing quota. ---

I spend almost all of my time in the Pit. I love watching arguments. It’s great. Then, MPSIMS. I usually don’t go to the other ones. I came across this site probably from [Bored.com](http://Bored.com), although I have no clue. It took a while for me to find the message boards (probably from Threadspotting, though). I didn’t lurk for very long. I just have too damn much to say. 🙂 Whenever I see an interesting thread, I always share it with my buddy **Loverboy**. I was the one who brought him here, in fact. He’s more of a lurker. But anyway, we always discuss you guys in private…hehehe! 😛 I spend all of my life here, though. Damn. You guys are one hella smart group. ---

I read all the forums but post mostly in MPSIMS. I read all the forums several times a night if I’m at work which is most of the time. Obviously, I don’t post nude from work. However, if I am posting from home, I am usually completely naked. In fact, I’m at home now… 😉 ---

ATMB Cecil’s Columns Staff Reports GD GQ PIT IMHO MPSIMS I usually read and post in that order, though occasionally I’ll check threads I’ve already replied to, or ones that people have called to my attention. ---

I can only post from home, and I’m usually in my pajamas if I’m on the computer. My pajamas consist of a random tee shirt and my Happy Monkey Pants[sup]TM[/sup]. I usually post in MPSIMS and IMHO, and occasionally in The Pit and GQ. I don’t think I’ve ever posted in GD. Rose ---

I heard about this site from my friend who told me about it. I remember the first article I read was, “Does a Duck’s quack Echo.” I just read columns for a long time. Registered in the message boards after awhile to ask a question. Then lurked for a REALLY long time. I still mostly lurk, but I’m not shy about posting if I have something to say. Mostly I read IMHO and MPSIMS. I lurk in GQ’s and every so often take in the Pit or GD. I post almost exclusively from work, so I’m sitting in a cramped cubicle and talking to customers at the same time thinking about whatever querry is posted in IMHO. 🙂 ---

I post naked on occasion… but moreso when I’m in StraightDope chat. 😉 I mostly go into MPSIMS and the PIT, nowadays. I used to go into GQ more, but 90% of the time I do someone has provided/nailed a question I know, like lightning to a lightning rod. I check out IMHO, ATMB, and GD a few times a month. I originially found the board through AOL. (Years before I read some SD books, which is actually saying something because my attention span usually doesn’t get me through an entire book!) It’s been interesting and fun. 🙂 ---

Fully clothed, or pajama-ed. Except there was this one time when I was talking on the phone to my friend **Xploder** and I had just gotten out of the shower, and I was wearing a big fluffy towel. I dared him to start a “Hey, Persephone’s Naked!” thread, and he did. 😃 ---

Let’s see. . .I found the Straight Dope a while ago as I wandered around on [Bored.com](http://www.bored.com). After browsing the archives for a while, I decided to see what the message board was all about. I mostly stick to IMHO and MPSIMS. I check in fairly often (though not as much as it seems some of the more, uh, dedicated members do). I just about never post anything though, topic-starting or otherwise. Haven’t posted nude as far as I can recall. I also introduced two people to this board: AFireInside and Searching for Truth (who I’m certain is eventually gonna have a millionth post party). Well, that’s my existence on this board in a nutshell.
