I've heard cracking knuckles (fingers) can harm your gristle in your fingers (lol, love babelfish), the weak bone pieces between your real finger bones.
Don't have any sources atm though... do what you like

I crack mines 12-15 times a day.About 25-30 times during school cuz am bored.Am i gonna die .

yes i crack neck fingers, toes, ankle, and back, i love when i crak my back it feels so good and weird

never heard of it being bad, so i dunt care atm, unless they do some study and find out

i crack my fingers usually everday. sometimes when i wake up my hands are all stiff and it is like hard to move my fingers (they almost no feeling in them) and then i crack them once or twice and its all better.

I have to admit I have cracked in the past and I probably will crack some more in the future.

If I'm bored on class or it aches.

I heard from my chiropractor that it's good to crack your bones to fix their alignment. Just dont' do it too often. It is really good for the neck as well since that's where you will get tensed most that lead to backache and other pains (headache included). But it all still depend on cracking correctly.

I crack my fingers every 30 minutes.So that's like 48 cracks a day

Yeah same, crack my fingers a lot.

Right now I found a new way to crack my elbow which feels nice.

I start with my elbow full extension, twist my wrist in, tense the whole arm and extend in while tensed and it cracks, feels really great.

Also I can crack my knees well now.

I just sit on a chair and kind of lob my knees, they crack.

sometimes i do it in a class when it starts to hurt and i really have to get up and make some excuse to take my pen or whatever and it's all like crakaakrakararkaaak!!

It probably hurts because there is built up gases and fluid.

Cracking releases pressure and joint fluid as well as releasing hormones

Yeah lol, although it doesn't even show up on that little diagram where i crack mine. D;

Probably cause i drum or do weights or something lol. o.0;;

Erm no. I like my bones.

Actually the only evidence if crack damages is that of you're tendons, not bones.

yup, it's become a habit.

yeah I also crack my fingers when I sleep

Neck and elbows, for some reason when my back is tense I crack my neck and my back relaxes. I crack all of my other joints just by moving them.

Nope, not good for your joints. The only thing that's good getting crack is your spinal columns, which I'd suggest getting done with a chiropractor.

My Chiropractor says it's how you crack you're joints and how many times.

I visit every 3 or 4 weeks and she says when cracking you're knuckles it's good to pull them therefore not crunching them together.

i crack my thumb sometimes.
