View Full Version : Is This Bad And Unsafe?
Destination 06-25-2007, 03:09 AM ok so im going to dlr and dca soon and i was wondering if i wear a shirt that says "Look For Me On VMK As.......... Destination!" is that bad or unsafe or something? i just wanna make sure
sorry if this is in the wrong spot. you can move it mods if u need to.
Goofyono 06-25-2007, 03:12 AM yea it probably.
theastroA 06-25-2007, 03:13 AM That probably isn't the smartest idea ever...
LuisT 06-25-2007, 03:23 AM Not sure.. Its really your choice.. To bad they removed the DLR Quest =[[ It would be alot better finding other VMK people there. But I think innoventions is still up and they have two VMK Sections..
- VMK Cave Place
- VMK Frontierland Place
Their two themed areas where they advertise VMK and you will most likely find VMK Players there :)
It seems you really want to meet VMK Players! Good luck on your mission!

Goofyono 06-25-2007, 03:23 AM well at least it's a good thing you asked :)
Regards_To_Myself 06-25-2007, 03:26 AM well that sounds like something i would do, but i dont know about you.... talk to your parents about it, they can help you decide :)
alphaspida 06-25-2007, 03:30 AM I'd do it if I wasn't embarrased rotfl.
Garfieldo 06-25-2007, 03:37 AM The real world is completely different from the internet. For example, in real life, kids are kids and adults are adults. You would know you could probably trust kids your age. But if a scary looking adult came up to you and asked "Where do you live?!" it might be hard to answer him.
To put it simply, it's easier to know who you're talking to when they're standing right in front of you.
Zebraa 06-25-2007, 03:37 AM I almost did that XD But my friend was like NO!!
Stall 06-25-2007, 04:22 AM I wouldnt if i were you
PrincessSofia 06-25-2007, 04:33 AM People could scam you tho and say they're so and so on VMK and lie.. And.. Yeah
soccerkid 06-25-2007, 04:46 AM Haha. You should do that. Hopefully not too many people will be laughing and staring at you. :D
ladybird 06-25-2007, 11:42 AM hi, could be fun, free advertising for vmk though...
Grooveygrl 06-25-2007, 12:05 PM I personally wouldn't do it XD.

This is my personal opinion - no, this is not a safe thing to do.
It might be fun... it might be a great way to meet people in realspace that you only knew on VMK... but it is also creating a link between the real and online worlds that might not be a safe thing to do. You're not providing personal information that can be used against you online and vice versa.

Yes, but far less safe. Online, I can give you information and it might not relate to anything in the real world. Thats a buffer that I can use for safety. And VMK increases that buffer by not allowing certain topics to be discussed.
In the real world - you don't have that. While you might be able to see more about the people you meet, they can get far more information about you, too. And putting the two together can cause more trouble.
Unless there is a good reason for you to advertise this (and there are good reasons, I'll admit that) - I would keep your VMK/VMKF lives and your realspace lives separate in as many ways as possible.
I'll end this with an official mod statement, however: If you do this, you're not allowed to provide this information on this forum. Remember that you should not provide dates you'll be traveling to parks, or any way to find you in the parks on those days, and this includes that you'll be wearing a t-shirt. I'll allow this discussion because of the safety issues it is raising and because there is no specific information attached - but no further details should be discussed here or elsewhere.
Soufriere_Hills 06-25-2007, 01:17 PM I would go with Prisoner i mean i would never do it it endagers u and maybe even your family i recommend u not to do it because if the know that information they can go on vmk and try to find u there and become friends with you and then find personal info like i have a soccer game(i dont) and they might search for soccer games that are happening at that time and then they might find u
disneyzoodude 06-25-2007, 01:20 PM That is kinda unsafe..
thesimpson90 06-27-2007, 03:47 PM Its perfectly safe in my opinion. Its not like your giving out your name or anything, your just saying who you are on VMK. If someone comes up to you you would need to be able to not tell them your name and stuff. Also for the ones who said how many looks your gonna get, the disney restorts are different from the rest of the world. You can wear a lanyard full of disney pins and Mickey Ears without getting any weird looks. After you leave, your gonna get some weird ones in the real world but not at the parks
StitchMad 06-27-2007, 03:54 PM Gonna add in my opinion here.
1) How many people play VMK that will be in DLR on that very day, very hour, very minute, very second right infront of you?
2) Are the Cast Members gonna take your shirt off you?
3) You can buy shirts from Disney Shopping Online with the VMK Logo and your VMK Name.
4) You can buy bags / hats / shirts from this fan site with your VMK Name on.
I bought a magnetic, electronic screen that turns into a name badge for your shirt. I got it from MGM. First thing I did, set it to say "StitchMad on VMK". You have that person right in front of you. It's Disney. They're not gonna do anything are they? You can meet someone in VMK Central and you can tell them your name in game. Why should a shirt be any different?
I say wear your shirt and meet some new people. I will be on my next vacation. Get in there!
EDIT: I'm also gonnna add in here that.. why should VMK be only for YOU? VMK is so independent. You're not allowed to meet in real, or even talk out of VMK. Why oh why does VMK have to be so independent? Let your hair down for a day or two. Wear your shirt, see if anyone says Hi :)
PinkTinkPixie 07-03-2007, 08:33 AM I dunno.. It really doesn't sound too bad of an idea, but I still wouldn't do it. I just wouldn't have a very good feeling about it, even though I may not have a reason not to, if ya know what I mean.
Like some other users said, you can always go to the little VMK areas in Innoventions to meet some VMK players.

katiecub 11-16-2007, 11:55 PM probably not the smartest idea to do. I dont think you want to give away your identity, it is extremely dangerous.
Disney101 11-17-2007, 12:26 AM no, you should do that, it is not like they'll ever meet you and stuff I guess lol
Destination 11-17-2007, 05:06 AM Well, its almost been about 3-4 months since I went but I ended up not doing it ;)
