I have a confession to make.
When I first joined HS, I was afraid that it might be a "hookup" place, as one of my co-workers warned me that all the chat rooms she had visited were full of people after "one thing" only. I didn't want anybody to hit on me, so in my profile I made myself seem older that I was. Like, 19 years older.
Also, I figured if I told everyone I was a little old lady, nobody would expect me to know anything about computers, and would cut me some slack when I did dumb things.
But I have come to see that HauntSpace is a safe place full of really nice haunters, who ARE out for "one thing" - the promotion of haunting and Halloween. So I have updated my profile to reflect my real age.
I am truly sorry if I have misled anyone. It was not done with the intention of "tricking" anybody, but with an eye to my own protection. Most importantly I want to apologize to Pete, who does so much to make the site a place where we can really be ourselves. And I hope he doesn't ban me because I lied.
