A member profile is a web page that tells the rest of DareNET, and anyone else on the web, a bit about you. You can include a little information, or a lot -- it's entirely up to you. You can include a picture of yourself, some personal information, lists of your favorite hobbies and things, photos, twitter updates, and more! Before entering information into your profile, be sure to consult our Safety Tips page. It can help you decide how much personal information is appropriate to share.
