Twitter

Tumblr
Instagram

(I also use Livejournal, but I know I am in a small minority with that)

Facebook and G+ could cause a lot of problems, since those things really closely tie in with people's real and professional life. If I ever live the goon dream of moving out of my mom's basement and getting a job, I don't want my boss getting e-Mails with screenshots of a dumb joke I made online. Only if 1 in 1000 people here are crazy enough to do that...that is still a lot of potential troublemakers.

Other thing is, whatever gets put there might be really quaint by next year. Internet/social media platforms change in popularity year by year.

heh heh, can't wait to skip the googling phase and just directly click goon's profiles and point out the 3k Steam game they own and their goon.jpg facebook page they own as they go on their social media justice warrior campaigns :xd:

It's going to own. thanks 'tax


(Seriously though, I think it's a v bad idea to encourage naive goons to put any of that information up there and it would be better just to delete the fields. Most of the time it may not be that hard to find but still. If you must, do something like Skype and Twitter onlu)

You can always tell the people who don't understand the point of tumblr, and get all their opinions second-hand from other internet shut-ins.

It's notoriously used by a few extremist-feminists, which is all you know about it, clown. As far as shut-ins, it has a huge photographer and artist community who are doing really cool work on it. (They're going outside, just to be clear, I'm not sure how much "outside" is an abstract concept for you or not).

Steam, Twitter, Skype, and Other sound good to me. I've noticed Mumble getting mentioned some around the forums, so that might be good too.

I'm guess email is out due to the possibility of spam bots scraping it. Wouldn't that also be a problem with anything from Google, since they seem to use one account for everything?

Those are about the only things I'd be interested in.

I would sincerely suggest tumblr, if only for the honeypot of someone linking their sherlock/supernatural dogdick rape fanfiction blog unironically.

Also having a generic field for an email would be nice, for SA mart sellers and in general.

Or do this:

Twitter, Skype and probably Steam. Encouraging goons to add each other on Facebook seems like asking for trouble, though. Leave it to sites where the user isn't likely to have their phone number and real-life friends/family member info displayed to any stranger who sends them a friend request.

I wouldn't worry about it, it tends to be used for one-time registration or re-registration, so the site developers would have plenty of time to change their code to a new field if necessary for future purposes.

Some of them field search but most new ones search a page for a token. Either way, I'll see if mine breaks but for the most part it's offsite stuff for games and maybe some other services.

Add Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, YouTube, Skype, Snapchat, Google+ and Steam as options and if possible hide anything that's left blank. Lowtax can write something insulting to persons who leave every field blank. After 3 months ban everyone who actually linked their Google+ account.

tbh after 3 months, anyone dumb enough to link their facebook, steam and google+ will have been run off from here so no need to ban them.

Steam. I don't even get on facebook because gently caress everyone in my real life, if it matters you can call me.
I guess psn/xbl wouldn't be a bad idea either. Twitter probably wouldn't be a bad idea, but I can't really comment on it because I feel like I'm too old for that bullshit. It took me forever to get a facebook, and I honestly only did after a break up to get laid easier.

Edit: Where's my crying baby!? gently caress this, time to pony up some money
