Name Introductions
« on: April 15, 2011, 05:08:27 PM »
One of the things i found confusing as a new member to any Online forum was,trying to figure out everyones real names..all forums have long term members who could tell another forum members favourite colour..
So if any noobs or that feel comfortable with the idea,please consider letting all of us know how to address you properly.

I had this same problem. Hardcore. Bruce and Dave and Ted and Thierry and Terry etc etc. I still don't know Wonka's real name. Everybody gets to know each other here and it was really confusing for me in the beginning. It's why my name is on my quote.

Ben.  His name is Ben.

But he's a Celtic fan, so Asshole will do too.

If you ever want to see a real picture of Eatbrie (Thierry) just look at his avatar...that's him with a wig, ain't he purdy?

If it was me with a wig, I'd be touching myself in front of a mirror 24/7.

I thought you did that all day anyway.

Even more frequently on days when you are expecting a Spielberg poster in the mail.

BTW, all of you people are pretty active for a Friday.  It's usually the slowest day on the forum, but not today, for sure.

You are still a newbie, even though you've somehow racked up 400+ posts!  Still, let me know when you approach this... seeing that makes me feel like I should be volunteering... or at least doing work!  ;)

Problem is those hours only count browsers signed in time NOT actual forum browsing time...if I had actually been reading this forum for 14 days I would be divorced!

Not a bad idea Stew but we all know quite a few people do not feel comfortable (for many reasons) in disclosing their real name(s) on the internet.  

That's why we have avatars!

Do we have a list of reasons why Chris??  As I'm sure If someone wanted to find out a persons real name it wouldn't be too hard....

Paul is quite correct.
It only takes 5 minutes of hard research to find who someone is (usually).

Well yes someone's name can be found with research but not everyone wants to do that research.

It should not be mandatory to post your real name; otherwise why even have a user name?

And Paul the reasons are obviously subjective to each person.

I post my real name because I have nothing to hide, doing so helps to create a "stronger bond" with my fellow collectors and I am careful about who obtains any additional personal information...but again, it should be optional

I like to keep my real name private. Its not that I want to keep it private from the honest, good and upstanding people of the world but rather not let those who's freedom I have taken away find my online hangouts.

That doesn't really stand up Paul (if that is your real name) because you are clearly a dodgy type ;)
