I crack my knuckles quite often, mainly because they feel like they need to be cracked, I am sure you know the feeling. The way I normally crack my knuckles is just locking my fingers and stretching my arms, though I can often just move my fingers back without my other hand to crack them. Is this bad for me? I've looked at a couple pages (1) but I want you fellow smart people and knuckle crackers' opinions.
(I also roll my toes over and crack them, is this bad?)

Cracking your knuckles doesn't harm anything. Same for any other joint.
Although I suppose if you're too forceful you could damage something...but generally you stop when there's pain.

I crack every part of my body and nothing happens to my fingers or my other parts.
So I'm pretty much saying that it isn't bad.

It doesn't any real bad, but if done frequently over long time it will eventually affect the force of those joints. So I would suggest, don't overdo it.

i actually asked a doctor about this out of curiosity..he told me that basically..the worst it'll do is give you arthritis in those joints a few years earlier than when you would have them. But nothing bad like people commonly think so

Erm, cracking one of many bones in the body can lead to death or paralyzing the body permanently.
If you're talking about cracking as in cracking your knuckles, you're right, it's harmless.

It's not the bones anyway.. what does the popping sound is gas bubbles bursting and dispersing in the tissue, slowly accumulating again over time.

It's not bad for you in anyway. The cracking sound you can hear is actually just gas bubbles popping!
