How often do you look to see the last 5 people who visited your profile (AKA, I just did it to pretty much every member here)?

[Idle Thoughts]

So I was bored and I just looked (in the last ten minutes) at every single one of your profiles just so I would show up on that "last five visitors to your profile" thing.

Why? Because I'm easily bored, yet easily amused with weird, mundane, repetitive things.

I defy anyone to find a profile I haven't been one of the last five visitors on.
Only way that's gonna happen is if either it's a relatively new account (less than 250 posts) or if others look at someone's profile (>5) and bump me off of theirs.

Yes, I know this is probably weird and creepy and pointless and why would anyone, on earth, brag or say that they've done it?
Like I said, I was bored.





Anyway, the real question is, BEFORE you looked just now, at your own profile, to see if I was one of the last five visitors...how often do you check it? Do you regularly? Every so often? Hardly ever? Never once?

[Detroit Hoser]

Rarely check. On the other hand, I often accidentally visit others' profiles when trying to click on a thread link and hit their name instead. Then I worry they'll think I'm a stalker. Sooner or later I get over it.

[Kat]

I hardly ever check. I see now that the last 5 people to visit my profile were: Idle Thoughts, Mossberg, Revs, Scuba Ben, SMG15. Who the heck is Mossberg? Perhaps I will go look at his profile....

ETA: Apparently, Mossberg has never posted. No wonder I don't know who he is.

[Carolia]

I hardly ever check. I did now and discovered that one of the last people to check was my husband. He made an account here some years after I joined, in 2012. He doesn't even remember the last time he was on here. Apparently checks to my profile are rare indeed.

He knows you, though. Oh, trust me...does he ever!

[Idle Thoughts]

To answer my own question, I hardly ever check. It was only after clicking on it and checking a few minutes ago that I thought it'd be amusing to see if I could put myself on as many user profiles as possible in the shortest amount of time.

I probably won't remember to check again for another few years.

Same here. I can't remember the last time I checked my own profile, but I accidentally click on the profiles of thread-starters all the time.

Idle Thoughts, you are indeed one of my last five visitors. The other four were maplekiwi, Revs, T-Rex, and stichomythia.

[Revs]

I'm frequent accidental clicker. If I show up on that last 5 list, chances are I was browsing the board through a touchscreen. I don't think I've ever looked at my own.

[BJMoose]

I might glance at it if I blunder onto my profile page; otherwise not.

[silenus]

Never even occurred to me. Until now.

I thought I told you never to mention....that!

[FairyChatMom]

I don't know that I've ever checked, or even knew that I could track my stalkers that way.

It seems rude to remove their veil of anonymity...

[Marmalade]

I check mine all the time

[Detroit Hoser]

I'm looking at yours right now! Hey, turn on your visitor messages so I can leave something scribbled all over it.

[Marmalade]

Scribble away! (It took me way too long to figure out how to turn them on. How dare Giraffe hide them in "edit options" right where they belong )

[Scuba Ben]

I never check my list.

My presence on most people's lists is a false positive. Typically I'm trying to click on the tiny checkbox for "go to newest post in this cuntastic thread" using the tiny smartphone screen (first world problem right there) and my fat finger hits the thread starter's name. That's why it looks like I'm cyberstalking just about everyone. For the record, I'm only cyberstalking a select few posters, and Kat isn't one of them, so she's safe from me, but beware if you have a body part abnormally longer than this run-on sentence.

[BJMoose]

Heck. I do that on a regular computer.

[The Devil's Grandmother]

I've hardly ever checked it. My last five visitors were Amythyst, howye, Idle Thoughts, JackieLikesVariety, and Simple Dog. I can't imagine why any of them would be looking me up, I hope I didn't say something more than usually insulting.

[pickle berry]

I've never even thought to check until this thread. Besides Idle the last four were Chas, Checkered Wreckurd, fachverwirrt and Solfy.

Also 686 times you people have viewed my profile. I'm not sure how to feel about that. Either I am a highly loved and valued member or you crazy people are crazy and stalking me. I've got my peepers on you creepers.

[Solfy]

Not that you're not a lovely individual, pickle berry, but my peep falls under Scuba's fumble-fingers exemption.

I generally don't pay attention to who has looked at my profile other than to gander when I have any other reason to be on my profile page, which is rare.

[Cabin_Fever]

Hardly ever. I recently updated my location, but that is about it.

[loshan]

Mine includes Idle Thoughts and Harry. Which makes me happy, because I was worried about him. I haven't seen him post lately and I was concerned. Glad to know he's lurking around.

Hi Harry!

[Jaade]

Mine also includes Scuba Ben and Revs. Damn it, thought I was special.

I've been using my smartphone for the last month. My visit was probably an accidental click when I was trying to look at something else.

Same here. If I go to my profile, i'll take a look. I'll never purposely think, 'Huh, I wonder who's visited my profile page?' though.

Just checked it... And by jove, Idle Thoughts is there! They're there along with Cosmic Owl (aka my father), Flying Saucerian, Wolf Larsen, and Muffin.
There's nothing even there to look at besides my little spiel about myself. Which I may or may not need to rewrite.

[Lungfish]

Very rarely, about once a year I reckon.
