my entry in: Apolyton - The Book

Sirotnikov · September 14, 2003, 16:38

Hey people.

Hey DarkCloud.

I recently remembered about my entry in the Apolyton Book.

I've found it to be nice, and reminiscent of old times, but also filled with spelling and grammar mistakes (

) and also not so true.

My personality has changed alot in the last 2 to 3 years, and so has my knowledge of my family history.

What is more annoying, is that my parents found it, and it's quite... erm.. annoying. While they aren't mad or anything... it's still wierd having them read thoughts I thought would only be read by people I'll probably never meet.

Furthermore, I'm not very pleased that so much personal knowledge about me can be so easily retrieved since google bothers to index EVERYTHING.

In short- I want it changed, and shortened, to basically civ-ish stuff, and much less personal stuff.

I decided to make this thread public, to remind people that there is such a thing, and they may very well be in it. I almost completely forgot.

I think you should have contacted DC privately. Now you are going to draw attention to whatever it is you are unhappy with.

rah · September 14, 2003, 20:11

Another reason why you shouldn't use your name in your handle. It makes googling much easier.

Skanky Burns · September 14, 2003, 20:23

Agreed. I try to keep my online and real-life names as seperate as possible.

rah · September 14, 2003, 21:07

Unless you have unique initials, that isn't too bad. Too much will pop-up.

PLATO · September 14, 2003, 21:27

Siro, just read the article (hope you don't mind). It seems you have a heritage of which to be proud...good people working to make better lives for their children against harsh odds and reality. Why would you not want this known. Your story shows character...be proud of it.

Urban Ranger · September 15, 2003, 02:11

Wow, it hasn't been updated for over a year. Shame on you, DarkCloud

Asmodean · September 15, 2003, 03:08

I think he has abandoned the project.

rah - I don't really mind people googling on me and knowning of that. Though, that specific article was only meant for the members of this forum.

But, three things come to mind.

1) Some of the information is outdated and some turned out to be incorrect. I have changed a lot as a person since. I'm much more open, self-confident, mature etc. Had a gf

. I have found out that I confused several stories on family history (on my dad's side).

2) It's too long, and the English is atrocious.

3) Concerning my future IDF service and possible employment options, it may turn out to be a hindrance.

Just tell them you know EvC the terrorist, that will help a bunch.

Thorn · September 15, 2003, 08:29

And Ming, that's not my label anymore either, good old justice department had me listed publically, until I threatened to sue them.

It is now amazing. Less than 10 years ago, the company I used to work for paid big bucks to access privately maintained databases to get personal information on people for marketing purposes. While some of them still exist and do a good business, most of them fallen by the wayside due to all the information easily available for free on the internet now.

Thorn · September 15, 2003, 08:56

Yeah I have my real name listed at 3 different public governmental sites.

Thorn · September 15, 2003, 09:10

3 different governmental sites that my name can be sought using google I might add.

rah · September 15, 2003, 10:23

More proof that you shouldn't use the KEY words that the government uses to scan internet traffic.

Shiber · September 15, 2003, 10:36

(I'm soooo mean)

DarkCloud · September 16, 2003, 22:19

Ah, I see what you mean Sirotnikov. I'll try to fix it within a week- if it's not fixed, then PM me or bother me or something. I've been very busy recently with getting my novel edited for sending-off status, (that should be done in a week or two) and have even gotten behind on obligations (such as the Apolyon Hall of Fame

)

Probably better than my english

Hmm... I'd update it if I had enough info for it- but it is true- I lost the impetus to update it- if I wanted I suppose I could revamp some sections of it and add some things, perhaps I will some time in the future, when I have time

But the real reason it wasn't updated after its initial upload was a dearth of articles (Although Solver graciously agreed to supply me with articles If I can think of any to request

)

Interesting info on this site

Strange though when you see quotes from yourself on a website you never visited before

DarkCloud · September 18, 2003, 22:03

Thanks for your interest atawa

interest always makes me feel more interested in updating!

Sirotnikov- there, I think I took out all the objectionable stuff and family stuff and some education stuff. But I left in the politics.

JohnT · September 18, 2003, 22:23

Please note that other than DarkCloud himself, I, yes, I am the only Gold Level contributor to this fine work.

Ya bunch of slackers.

Sirotnikov · September 18, 2003, 23:36

Thanks, I'll check it out later

It was my responsability since I posted it out of my own will, but I guess I never thought enough in advance.

but you were kind enough to accept my request. Thanks man
