Out of curiousity, what the hell is going on with all of these "I am doing a project for school and need your information for research" threads going on lately??? This is like the third or fourth one this month that requested a lot of personal information for people to be posting for the sake of "research" or a "project". Is it mid terms or something?
And what kind of project is this info being used for? Just curious that's all.
And when oh when will this be moved to community :lol: ?
