STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Australia increases terror alert level for first time in 11 years
  • The new rating of "high" means a terrorist attack "is likely"
  • However, PM says no specific threat has been made

(CNN) -- Australia has raised its terror alert level to "high" for the first time since the national alert system was introduced in 2003.

According to the four-level system, a reading of "high" means a terrorist attack "is likely," however the country's Prime Minister Tony Abbott said no specific threat had been made.

"This does not mean a terror attack is imminent, we have no specific intelligence of particular plots. What we do have is intelligence that there are people with the intent and capability to mount attacks," Abbott said at a press conference in Canberra on Friday.
 
I still can not believe that a nuclear power plant was built on a fault line. There have been 2 major nuclear disaster and those places are now fucked for like 100,000 years. If you look at all the nuclear sites around the worlds it's kind of scary that if something goes wrong either by human error or natural disaster those location will be off limits for a long time.


Anyway.............. Come back @camerashy1 we miss you!
She'll come back when she either gets evicted or wins. Or decides to leave the show. We will just have to wait...

You think cs1 could be a behind a terrorist plot hence why she disappeared all of a sudden? Hmmmm...the plot thickens. :wideyed:
 
Plus... Knowing people's names here just wasn't a priority for me. Being a global forum it didn't especially occur to me I would necessarily meet the participants. I mean it's a forum. I have already a load of real life friends I have enough trouble keeping up with in the physical world. Just so happens very few of them watch big brother.
 
TraLa maybe you just have a different timescale. I wouldn't rule out making friends in real life with certain people from this forum, or from another (very different) forum I post on (and in fact I have one or two email addresses and invitations from that forum) but it didn't happen to happen with camerashy. I do feel a friendship of sorts with her even though I haven't physically met her. She is not a superclose friend. But I had enough interaction with her to have a sense of her and a friendship of sorts. People are mysterious - strangely we can communicate with each other even if we haven't met or know each other's names. Art, music, literature... Listening to people speak on tv, reading their conversations on a forum, writing letters. Just because I don't eyeball you or small you doesn't mean I am not able to form a relationship with you at all.

On many levels I agree with what you are saying. I too have made friendships with people online on more of a personal level with out ever meeting, but not without first learning their first name.

In general, I don't find people mysterious, in real life I am an extrovert, so forming relationships comes quite easily to me. While I am not overly interested in getting to know most people in here on a more personal level, I am really glad to know, that if I did fall off the forum posting list tomorrow, I have a handful of people who know and like me well enough to know where to look for me.

I just think it is sad that a thread was created to someone who appeared to be a friend to many (obviously as LOVEBB pointed out, not a close friend to any of you, as I incorrectly assumed), who is missing, and yet not one of the people who interacted with her on a daily basis for a year even got to know her well enough to learn her first name.

That is super strange to me. I see that for most in this thread, that way of thinking is normal, however, it is not normal to me.

I have to add, l wouldn't have a clue who Camerashy is, but if her posting has suddenly stopped, I hope you are right and she is in the house living her dream because it would be awful to think something horrible has happened where she might need a friend to reach out to her.
 
For me it's not even a privacy issue (I'm nobody important that could get in trouble) but more that I just don't understand why we'd even need to know one another's names. I talk to a few posters regularly over PM and the thought seriously never crossed my mind to ask them their real names. It's just not something I need to know. At the end of the day it's just a name...a word. I wouldn't feel like I knew anyone better whether I referred to them by their real name or their username anyway.
 
Let's not forget MrsButterface had morons from this forum track down her facebook account just so they could give her grief. It's only prudent to be mindful of what you reveal online.

That is disgraceful.

Absolutely disgraceful.

Pathetic weak little worms.

However I refuse to be intimidated by weak forum shadows who are nothing more than sun starved social fucking retards, who would piss their pants in fear if you had the opportunity to confront them in real life.

They can only hurt you with a keyboard, and that's only if you let them.

My settings are all set to private.

They want to hunt me down and peek at my enchanted life through my display pics, I say go for it.

How funny, you see if I talk regularly with you by PM I would feel like a cock not calling you by your name.

I don't think your name is just a word, it uniquely identifies you, if we are friends I like to be able to identify you, not as a forum persona but as you.

Different strokes for different folks.

Whatever, Tim.

But for me though, our usernames do uniquely identify us here as it is. I do know a couple of poster's real names (from Twitter stuff - not because I asked them) but to me i'll always still refer to them as their usernames in my mind anyway because they were the ones that stuck from the initial constant exposure to them on here. For example I do know what @Insomniac's real name is, but to me she'll always be Insomniac.

Say I met someone in real life and they told me their name was Trala: On a logical level I'd know that probably wasn't their real name, but I really wouldn't care. As long as I had a name to identify the character I just met by I wouldn't really care if it was their christian given name or not.

Even if I did know camerashy's real name she'd still be camerashy to me. I have a name to identify her forum character by. Don't need another one.

But anyway, yeah, it's interesting how people think of names so differently.

I see what you are saying, but for me. Unless your nickname in real life is Gemini, I would feel like a complete knob calling you that if we went for coffee.

My name is Tracey and my Dad always called me Trala. So you would be calling me a name which identifies me in my real life, which makes it a little less weird.

Just different takes on it, that's all.

In that case my using your user name is a bad example. But if I met someone and they told me their name was Jesus I'd probably just go with it and that's what name I'd think of them by.[DOUBLEPOST=1410503166][/DOUBLEPOST]

No :)

Right we need to bring this back on topic.

Camerashy!

C A M E R A S H Y !

If you are reading this, please go home to Housemate Antics. Your friends are missing you. Littlebear is grizzly, Gemini has turned horrorscope, LOVEBB is hateful, Smurfette is all blue in the face with worry and Insomniac hasn't stopped fucking sleeping!

You need to come back and stop the madness!

Unless you are in the house, if you are in the house, get your tits out and strut baby, because these nutters in Housemates Antics are going to stalk you like Ivan Milat on a highway once they get even a sniff of your real name ;)

WHO TOLD YOU MY REAL NAME!!!

If I was introduced to Jesus, my first thought would be, one of my forum haters finally found me and killed me and I must be dead, my second thought would be, how in fucks name did I manage to get to heaven?!

Ha!
