In the future people will know that I used to post on a gaming forum, that I live *somewhere* in Colorado, and that I used to look like a Chinese teenager. The horror!
Not true.
They know your age, your real name, your school, your address.
You did upload a copyrighted picture of yourself, which is in public domain, and identified where it was taken.
So theoretically anyone with access to this forum knows all your info.
Your statement that this is no big is even scarier.
If you think this is no big deal just Google yourself.

Nautilu is right, of course. But this might just be the new normal. Nothing is private anymore.

Oh, but that was true before I posted that. My mother googled me and tracked where I lived without looking at the forum. Although, do you actually know my address?

It is actually quiet scary how much personal information is posted online and that it is still there 5-10 years after.
Agree.

You actually tried tracking her down from that photo?

I mean I can't remember the last time my age, real name, school or appearance were "private".
Well we don't know your name so it is still private here.

Should I?
I do remember a copy of the picture that was posted here.
Theoretically should not take long to see where is was taken.

Although, do you actually know my address?
Never cared to look it up. My point is that if I can do it under 5 minutes via free google search, are you not uncomfortable that other people can do it as well?
Leksu, Pencil, etc we had our share of psychos here.

I read it as you had done it.
And no you shouldn't; everybody has a right to privacy.

Indeed.

Indeed.
I saw the picture I assumed I could.
I will have to disagree in regards to privacy. If you want privacy, you should not be posting any info that can identify you.
US law, and I am sure European as well, is very clear. Individuals/corporations can not claim privacy on info in the public domain.

I've been trying to find my address online from my name alone and can't. I also can't find anything except my YouTube account and news reports. I haven't put my address anywhere, but I think it might be listed under my parents' names, which you don't know.

I am not sure why you are getting defensive.
I was simply pointing out that in this day and age people should be careful of what they post online.

She's clearly hiding something. It's only a matter of minutes before the CIA apprehends al-Aziz and transport her to a blacksite in Montana, or some such God-awful place.
