referer madness

When you host images on your own website and read your logs, one of the things you see is which friends group you're in. This is usually pretty basic, like "locals" or "people" or "not_from_work". As I think I mentioned once long ago, they can also be funny like "former_fucktoys" or "dumbfux" etc. I am on [livejournal.com profile] kateoninetails list called "not legal" although I am over 18, because she is in law school.

There's been a few funny ones over the years but I am happy to say now that I have just found out I am on [livejournal.com profile] gordonzola's list called "white guys"!

you can group friends lists on LJ? thats weird.

So you can filter posts even beyond the "Friends Only" setting to make them really private.

And so you can read a chunk of journals at a time on your friends page! I have "people", "communities", and "meta", so I can read individuals' journals, LJ communities, and communities-about-LiveJournal separately.

ObFaqRef!

Many times I've thought about changing that group name to something more boring or even more suggestive.

Now I am also thinking about renaming all my groups to something suggestive. I think C would love to find himself on my group Hunky Monkeys.

ha.

That one makes me feel no shame but I didn't know those were visible. Better change some others...

They're only really visible to geeky people who look at their referer logs. I'm just glad I wasn't on any really awful ones :)
