Forum Old Man/Woman's Club : Other **Please read** Consent needed

Word :    Username :           
 

So, I'm taking a class here at St. Olaf College called "Sociology of the Internet" and the main project is to spend 30 hrs in the month of Jan. in an online community, such as this one... I have to write a mini-ethnogrophy about that experience, and since we are allowed to look at communities we are already apart of, I was wondering if anyone here had objections to me looking at the Other forum and the CPU section (I figure it's a good contrast :wink: ). If you have objections to this, just PM me about it, and I will, at your discretion, change your pseudonym from the THGC if I use any quotations from you or I will not use any quotations or threads of yours at all.

This will be opt-out, which means that if I don't hear from you, I will use threads and quotations from you... though I still will probably PM you for explicit consent, just cause that's the kind of guy I am.

I think it's fine, but you might want to censor stuff for a classroom environment lol. Although i guess most message boards now are pretty bad in some areas...

I'm just your average habitual smiler =D

Looking at it from a legal standpoint, i dont think there is any reason why you need to ask permission to watch or copy bits, as it is a free and open forum.
However if you plan on cutting and pasting big bits of it some curtesy may be in order. Ask <font color=red><b>FREDI</b></font color=red> first. :smile:

THGF are actually kind of bland compared to many forums.
My wife posts in forum for women. Some of the members are really out there in left field. And some of the members post pictures of their Hooters.
Without the oddity of Wingding these forums are pretty dull. Most members do not reveal personal problems here except for pike.

I wish I could.
The Forum with the photos is for members only with something like 500 or more posts. Post count/password encrypted.
The wife has shown me the titty threads.
I don't go into my wife's forums and read her posts. Nor does she come here and read my posts.
It's an unwritten not spoken mutual rule we have.

Very true, and my sociology prof told us straight out that we didn't even need to announce our presence here... but looking at most other ethnogrphies on the internet, it seems that becoming part of the community thats being studied is the best way to do it. Also, since I am an established member (if you disregard the low number of posts in my near 2 years here), I felt that it would be common courtesy to mention that I was doing this.

What's really funny is watching the straight-laced and/or jock types trying to figure out mudding and chat rooms. It's great fun listening to them describe their experiences... so full of awe and amazement (mostly at how people can be entertained by text, but that's another matter).

As to censoring, since this is a college-level course, and judging from the class materials, I think it is almost expected that sexual innuendo and worse would come up. One 'net newbie's ethnography explicitly described the behavior known as "netsex"... probably meant cybersex, though it was written back when AOL ruled the day.

It should be fun... but since I've fallen out of habit of coming here regularly (I have other committments... damn you Civ3 and Mafia) I'll have to get myself in here more. Getting 30hrs, though, shouldn't be a problem at all. This is my only class for January (Interim or J-term as it's called), and I only spend 10hrs a week in class, and the readings are pretty quick, so I have plenty of time to dick around here and still have too much time to waste.

So go ahead guys, post whatever you want... show how dirty your words can be :wink: .

Yes... yes it does, and the Orchestra and Band are great too... though it is tough being a natural sciences major at a school that is known nationally (and more and more worldwide) as a music school. You say St. Olaf, and people think Choir, Orchestra, and Christmas Fest... but our Psychology program is one of the best in the nation, and our English, Religion, and other natural sciences programs are real good too. Personally, I think that the music program here is more about performance and commercialism than as an actual educational program... but since it's St. Olaf, people accept whatever comes out of here (my GF is a Music Ed major, so I hear about what goes on all the time).

All you stateside pre-med wannabes... St. Olaf is one of those schools that will boost your acceptance chances to med schools throughout the states. And Psych majors (like me) have one of the highest acceptance rates in the country to graduate schools. I think we send the most Psych majors to grad school than any other college in the Upper Midwest.

Hmm... very tempting. Though, I have to ask... how much would it cost to go overseas to the States? Not to mention the biohazard issues... now that I think of it, I distinctly remember a similar thread between you and Lou on this very topic.

Where is Lou anyway?

That would be awesome. Could you put a copy of your paper here on the forums when you get it done? That would be really interesting to read imo



It's all good ^_^

You make it even more easy for me.

Here is an interesting site: <A HREF="http://www.majormelons.com" target="_new">http://www.majormelons.com</A>. But better enable your pop-up blocker before visiting.
