I don't recommend being to quick to sharen personal information. When I meet someone new, whether it be through a RPG, LJ, whatever I tell them my first name. Maybe where I'm from. That's about all.
As I chat with them, and get to know them, I will let them in on a bit more information. That's only when I KNOW I can trust them, without getting that doubtful feeling in my gut.
Yes friends, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS listen to your gut instinct! I can't stress that enough. It's usually NOT wrong, when it's telling you someone may be a potential danger to you.
In public forms, communities, etc, don't leave you full name, address, or phone number.
Screen names, and emails are easy to change if you feel unsafe. Your permanent address and phone number aren't.
Also...if you're looking for a potential lover who shares your fnadom interest... Just be careful. My first online dating experince was a mess and a half. I almost ended up meeting this guy in RL, and he was a pervert AND a lier.

So yeah...
That's my two cents.
