I'm pretty blown away that I hadn't even heard about the website until the news broke.
Now, i'm more blown over the names I recognize on the Virginia list that someone sent to me. The worst? My moms cousin who divorced a few years ago because his wife was a 'no good cheating skank'. His parents couldn't believe she would treat their precious baby like that.
Apparently precious wasn't so sweet.
That likely explains that marriage.
So sad, i'm nosy and i'm aware it's incredibly wrong of me but anyone else peeping at the lists?

Where do we see lists by state?
I would check the lists for people I knew if I had any idea where to look. (I'm not willing to go onto the Dark Web)

i wouldn't know the emails of friends or family
i did not look for my husband's email - he barely figured out email

Do you have a link to the list? I thought the info was only out on the DarkWeb or whatever it's called? There is someone I know that I would bet my bottom dollar is on there.

You can search by name or email address online. Someone sent me the Stafford/Fredericksburg list but I don't know how to get the list for other areas. I'd LOVE to see the one for my little town and the ones around me!

I'll admit that curiosity got the best of me and I did look up one of my relatives who earlier in his life he admitted to having multiple long-term affairs. Neither of his email addresses that I have for him came back as registered with Ashley Madison though.

Saw about 8 people we knew on the site. So sad.

I asked this question before but don't recall getting an answer.... why oh why would someone use an email address that would be linked to their regular life? If you wanted to cheat, wouldn't you set up an email address that no one knows about?

I think they had a false sense of security thinking it was 'private & confidential' NOTHING is truly private anymore, NOTHING.

No, I'm not looking. I have zero doubts about my DH, and for anyone else it's simply not my business.

If someone I know, other than my husband, is cheating or looking to cheat, I really don't want to know about it. And I'm not the least bit worried about my husband, so I haven't bothered to look.

No, my husband has my trust 100% and other peoples douchery concerning their marriages is not my business.

It's not my business, but that doesn't stop me from being curious. I'm a small town girl, it's just the online equivalent of standing in the bathroom with binoculars Lord knows town binoculars caught me in some shenanigans in my teenage years, i'm glad i've settled down!

TBH: The person I want to look up is my ex-fiance who WAS cheating on me and was on some dating websites. He's dead now, and even if he were still alive I obviously wouldn't say a thing to him, as we didn't talk much after the breakup. But he swore up and down that the only sites he was on were the two I happened to 'catch' him on. What good would it do for me to know? Nothing I suppose, except to know that I was right. Then I would look down, as I often do, and say, "Hi Kurt. Hope you're enjoying the warmth. I know you never told me the truth!"

For those that are extremely nosey (queen of being nosey) if one was to want to see the names or locations on the AM website where would one go to look? That is if they wanted to...not that i am that nosey or anything.

No, I have not looked. I don't need to know about anyone other than DH, and I know that DH wasn't using the site. So I'm good.

No. I'm really not interested. I'm Latin. My people don't need an Ashley Madison to know who is cheating. Honestly, cheating is often like an open secret. Besides, as it relates to my immediate family, I know everyone's business simply because I live with my grandmother, and everyone calls her to tell her their business. By extension, we know their business.

I know my ex's email was on the list. It's up to his gf to deal with that, not me.
Apparently there's a map out there. My town has over 3000 users, mostly men.

I heard on talk radio this morning that only 3 area codes in the US did not have a name listed. I also heard Snookie (whoever she is) was being snarky about Josh's wife standing by him only for it to come out recently that HER husband's email address was on there. Karma. ETA: Zip codes not area codes

I have the same nosiness factor as anyone, but I'd hate to look on there and see someone who I otherwise respect. Yeah, my nosiness factor is interested in the celebs, but it's still a sad thing. I don't want to have that carried over into the realm of anyone I know.

And here's my pondering...If so many people hadn't heard of it (including myself), then how are there so many people on there??? I mean, from previous threads, it sounds like many of us weren't even aware of the "dark webs" and all that, and although the Pea community probably isn't the prime Ashley Madison target, it's just weird that it's so well known...yet not...

I'll admit, I'm curious about certain e-mail addresses like the Vatican ones! So, I'm not catholic and besides priests and nuns I wonder how many "lay" people work there. OR was it some horny priest or nun just wanting to take a look and do some chatting.

I've known about the *dark web* for quite a while but wouldn't have any idea, or desire, on how to get there. One more sad thing about this: I've heard of people in countries where gays are stoned, are running for their lives now that their secret is out.
