CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

(Maybe the staffers will want to move this to Links, but I'm personally hoping they'll move it to Announcements; this is such an important issue that everyone needs to see it. I even cross-posted it as a sticky in Anime Angels' announcements section.)

I recently stumbled across a really good site that has a whole bunch of information on it that talks about how to keep yourself safe online. I have heard too many stories about people doing unwise things online and reaping the consequences of it, and I want to make sure each and every one of you stays safe. Please, go have a look for some good info...

...and if any of you find yourself being troubled at all by another member, please let one of the staffers here know so they can deal with it!

Yep,they have ads now on tv to warn parents to be sure that they know WHO they're kids are talking to online.It is spooky to think that there are people who do go on just in order to prey on younger people of the opposite sex.I think that though that we all need to be careful no matter what our age.Though I think the
ads are targeted more at places like Myspace.

Good website I guess. But as soon as I saw a banner go "do u really know every1 in ur buddy list?" I stopped looking at that site.

Why? o.O

That video with the little British girl was really well done. It's quite scary what some people do online, and it's sad that more kids don't understand how to protect themselves.

Though I approve of the intentions of the site, most of their advice is pretty basic. For example "Some people lie online"... no, it can't be!

I presumed due to the forced use of chat slang.

I watched the video, and I was quite impressed. It was really well done. Though the slang was like... what the crap.

I think the best video every in terms of "crazy online correspondents" would be "the_parlor_dsl" video on youtube.

Quite vulgar though. But quite true.

John Walsh of America's Most Wanted and Julie Clark(e)who co-produced the
Safe Side DVD have a new one out concerning the internet.I just saw the ads
this weekend.It has the same basic info' probably but done in the same basic
Safe Side fun way.
I guess my only question is since the internet has been around so long why are we just now getting around to thinking about safety?
