Simply put, there's no good reason to and a long list of why not.

A four page thread about how the forum is dead? I don't get it. Of course I don't have Facebook and Twitter accounts. When comes to social media. I'm stuck in the 1990s. Oh well.

I'm there with that.
I do have a facebook account under Chuck White. (not my real name) and they didn't delete that.
I have another facebook account under a completely bogus sounding name, just to get on and see other facebook crap. Within a few weeks I got a friend invite, they must have thought I was somebody they knew?
Now I have some Islamic friend, that I have to run a translator to understand what she posted. Then Facebook started recommending people, so I clicked on those. I now have four or five Islamic facebook friends, that I don't know what they are saying.

Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid.
I'm not the one that needs a gun. Not sure I see the connection. But you do indeed get a lot of entertainment from talking on the internet to people.
And using your real name is probably the only way to continue doing that.
Any way Paranoia is an unnecessary or an fear of something. Being afraid for little or no reason.
So if your fright is real the what are you afraid of?

It looks to me like a grand total of 10 different people posted which is close to all of the people who still post here.

I've always thought of you as being the brightest bulb in the box so you have me confused as to why you don't "get" this. I'm not afraid or paranoid, I'm careful. I'll say it again, there is no good reason to put ANY personal info for everybody in the world to see.
With knowing just your first and last name, the state you live in, (better the city) I can easily find out a ton of stuff.
1. Address
2. Phone number
3. Neighbors addresses and phone numbers
4. People you are related to
5. Their addresses and phone numbers
6. Businesses you may own or place of employment
7. People associated with a business you own
8. All the same things about all of them
I left out a bunch of stuff and if you pay for a service like landlords do to check out tenants the info available is endless.
Have you heard of Nextdoor? You MUST provide proof of your address and real name to join your hood, but people there think nothing about it. They ask for dog sitters while they're on vacation for specific dates or they mention they only live part-time during summer at the house and need someone to water plants.

I didn't have one handy so I went the other way, which was a pic with my daughter on my lap when she was two.
Freakin' brilliant! They'll never be able to guess which one you are!
I Photoshopped "Me" on my forehead.
I think I'm getting better.
Better is good. Nice to hear from you. Everyone has to post on a death of the forum thread. It's become traditional.

Yes I understand that some information can be found about me just from my name. But you didn't answer my question which was , What are you afraid of?
That's all. I get the rest. I personally just don't care. Not too long ago didn't we all have our phone number along with our address in the phone book?

Well of course that sounds stupid but that's a lot more than simply posting as yourself. But you have to also think that even though these idiots are announcing when they are not home it's still probably not an issue or people would get robbed and they would stop doing that LOL
I understand why you would be unwilling to say who you are IF your goal is to be on forums and argue with people.
Because there is of course a possibility that some fool could want to do you harm or more importantly your kids.
But most people on FB don't join to get in arguments with strangers.
