It happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Not once, but TWICE in one week!

What happened?

Well, I got busted... more accurately, discovered on TRON-Sector by coworkers.

I don't mind really - everyone there knows what a TRON loving fan I am, and I proudly have a Sketch image displayed in my cubicle - the one of me running after the "reply" button, dressed up in a circuitry suit AND a strait jacket!

The first guy to find me is one I work closely with in my department. He was net-searching something about me and I think he came across my TRON-Sector avatar on google images or something. He asked me if he could see the rest of the animation, but I told him that was it - just a 60x60 repeating animation as you see it. I imagine he browsed quickly through The Sector a bit, but he didn't mention anything specific to me. I actually convinced him to purchase BUT... his graphics card can't handle the game (it won't run) DOH! And I was SO close to really peaking his interest in TRON!

The second guy, just a day or two later, found me here while doing some searches on .NET error messages. He's one of our programmers. One error message matched the error he was getting and it lead him here because someone had posted the text of the error for Auric to fix. Now this guy (like everyone else at the office) knows I'm a BIG TRON fan so he was going to shoot me an e-mail about this "great TRON website he stumbled across". Only when he looked at the very next post under the error post... he recognized the face of the avatar - it was me! He shot me an e-mail and was amused that he found me on TRON-Sector.

I don't mind being busted really. I don't talk to people at work about things like this, but I don't mind them knowing about my TRON-Sector activities. I LOVE this place and it would be really cool if some of them actually signed on... but I'm pretty much the only TRON fan there. Actually, this is one of just a couple message forums where I use my real name. Again, I'm amazed that I wasn't discovered by someone at work sooner!

As I said, I don't mind people I work with knowing about my TRON-Sector presence, but I know others do go out of their way to keep it a secret for one reason or another. And I also understand why it is in the best interest of some people to keep their online lives private from those they know, especially at work.

I am wondering, has any of you been discovered by a coworker here at TRON-Sector (without telling them)? If so, what was your experience?

Yeah - that can be a dangerous thing in the work place. That is why I made the decision long ago to never sign in to any of my personal accounts from work. I'll browse TRON-Sector on my breaks at work, but I never log in from work - ever. It's too easy to get sucked in to some amusing threads and keep checking back for responses... and post more... and check back more... so I don't allow myself. It keeps me out of trouble that way.

But I take it you've never been completely discovered by a coworker yet? If you were, would you mind, or would you feel odd about it?

The first guy who busted me - I have been slowly working on getting him hooked on TRON. If only he had the right graphics card! We were planning on playing multiplayer LC - would have been great fun! In time, he just might have become a TRON-Sector member. Ya never know.

Nope. I am proud to be a Tron fan!!

I don't post anything overly embarrasing... like about my Paddington Bear collection or the fact that I secretly have a New Kids On The Block obsession.

Anything like that getting out would be embarrasing

None on my colleagues have seen me on tron-sector yet over here. Even though I am part of theoffice workers here. But my office is a small nook where I actally work in the warehoue itself.

i remember when i thought i was the youngest member on this website, then i discovered DJ Aussie E.
anyway, 16...read it and weep!

i have been caught on several occasions looking at Tron Sector at school. most of the time in the really boring lessons, and lessons when i have access to a PC, like IT. most of the time i got away with it [praise the lord for the little X in the corner]

Since I work in gaming, I actually get a little bit of respect from most people, although there is always that person who is too cool for TRON too. Mostly people get into it though.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online
