Curious as Ever...

Ok..Being new on here, I'am curious how many members are on this site.?..( I'am a kinda nosey person LOL) Also, I noticed that you can't tell where people are from when you click on their avatar.?( again, curious )..On the last Disney site, you could input things onto your avatar, like hobbies..profession..country or state you live at..?...I've met lots of Disney friends that I'am keeping contact with,mostly on the east coast of USA.But also Texas..and some southern states...Anyway..That's my curiosity for today..LOL..

Since you can add a "signature", I would guess anyone that wanted to put that type info on their profile could add it to the signature line.

When you are as old as I am wheelchair , you can claim to be in your twenties awesome in these websites clapping

Been a Disney fan since the early 70's when I first saw "The Wonderful World of Disney" on TV. Been hooked since then, and been an annual pass member every time I've resided in FL. Even bought into DVC (1993) and have had great vacation memories since. My kids grew up here Party

Hi Mittens,

I'm curious about these things, too. Maybe one of our technically inclined friends has an idea about how we could get an interactive map on the site so we could see where everyone is from. Or maybe we can start a topic like the one that mrhub uses to help us meet up in the parks. I can start it if anyone is interested.

I'm from Pennsylvania, myself, south central area--Hanover to be exact. I doubt you've ever heard of it, but if you've ever eaten Utz potato chips or Snyder's pretzels, then a little piece of my hometown has already found it's way to you. I'm a real estate agent by day and a gymnastics coach by night. I love all things Disney (especially park strategy, animation, pin trading, and history). My husband, Benn is a paralegal and we have three adorable but poorly behaved cats. Oh and my real name is Holly. My screen name Alicemouse is what I call our youngest cat. Her name is Alice, but she's afraid of her shadow, so I tell her all the time that she must secretly be a mouse instead of a cat.

How about you?

We did have a post that basically was a "biography" of ourselves somewhere, where many told about themselves.

Mittens, on the books we have 3123 members as of today. No we do not have a directory to see other peoples information or "members list" if you prefer to call it that. The one listed under the "Forum" button has never worked. I've asked about it several time, but our owners are rather busy people and haven't had a chance to get to it.

You could say we are a smaller, more personal Disney site and truthfully, I think I can speak for most of the people that are active here and say we prefer it that way. If you wonder where someone is from, just ask and if they don't mind telling you, they will.

As for that other stuff, the link Velcropooh found "Lets get to know each other" would be the best place to put a post with that info in it. You can put just about anything in your signature , just make sure you adhere to the Forum rules.

Well I for one am from New York City. One of the outer boroughs actually. Staten Island to be exact. Staten Island is kind of like Kauai is to Hawaii. Except they have beautiful mountains and beaches and we have a medical waste strewn shoreline and the biggest garbage dump in the world.

Otherwise it's pretty much the same.

Staten Island??????? I have lived here my entire life! Love the affects of medical waste. Has a kind of glowing affect.

HA! I live in Pastosa! I am a sucker for homemade pasta! Growing up Italian my Grandma used to make it, now, I go to the store.

We are practically neighbors! I am on Ionia right off the service road. My husband has lived in this house his whole life. My sis-in-law is on Pompey.

It's a small world after all!!!

Yeah!! I would say most of them do not actively participate and a number of those are spam accounts we missed or they never posted yet.
