(I was going to post this in Announcements, but I can't access that forum any more, lol)

No Mikes family not Mollies

Oh, well good.

I'm torn on the contacting his family issue though. On one hand I get how angry you'd be in Locke's position or for him, but then this is just a forum and contacting someone's family could cause serious emotional and psychological problems for the person behind this in real life. I don't know, I'm indifferent about it right now.

Why aren't the people who stalked Mollie banned? That's worse than saving someones pictures imo

Pretty creepy if you ask me, on both fronts.

Can't believe people on here would actually contact family members, it's a good damn forum for crying out loud

the bit that odd to me is how did there contact family members on a diffident note i don't mind if members are male or female i still talk to them but getting more sexy female on the forum would be good :evilgrin::laugh::wink:

I think it's absolutely wrong tbh. This is a forum and I think if you're going to meet up with someone from here it's probably a good idea to speak to that person on the phone atleast first, if not cam with them. Not saying I don't feel bad for Locke because I do, but I think contacting Mikes family members was completely out of order and crossing a line. (Locke didn't do that as far as I know though, just to be clear)

michael21 20-03-2013 10:16 AM

so just to clear thing up and get back on topic ben has step down and taking a time out from the forum because he was in love with Mollie am i right

I agree Michael, all these pretty girls turning out to be guys is rubbish :bored:

Jake. 20-03-2013 10:16 AM

The whole thing is just completely messy... but just the fact that this Mike would have Locke pay all of that money to travel down and pay for tickets and stuff..... just beyond heartless.

Yeah, you're probably right. Especially about the cam thing now, I don't think people should ever really trust who people say they are unless they've cammed. That doesn't mean you can't like them or they can't be accepted on a forum, I just mean on a deeper level...if it goes further than that.

I am just interested in the motives behind it really, that's all. It'd be great if Mike could give us some kind of an explanation but if his family has been contacted then I can see why he might never want to return again. I don't know, it's a weird one this - I just hope whoever he is he's alright. It's a strange thing to do but there could be serious reasons for it.

Sexy Niamh has cammed so we know she's real :evilgrin:

Marc 20-03-2013 10:22 AM

Real life is detached from the forum and to use social media to reach out to forum member's family is not acceptable, it's low.

Contacting family is wrong, but I can't really find much sympathy after all this

I just feel bad for Raph, Locke, etc

So let me get this straight (no pun intended).... Locke was having a relationship with Mollie, and then he found out that Mollie was actually a guy named Mike, and then Locke contacted Mike's family?

But what does it have to do with Ben? I'm so confused.

Exactly... this person built a relationship with people (those two in particular), so to find out that four years of friendship has really been a lie... well, it's crushing :(

I've noticed there are a ton more catfish ever since that movie came out

It really is an epidemic.

Catsfishing has been going on long before the movie, when I used to go in ICQ chatrooms it seemed to be happening almost every week
