    my username is my full name in real life so no need.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭Bipolar Joe


    This is my musician name, so anyone who sees it and knows me should be able to piece the puzzle together.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,844 ✭✭✭py2006


    I didn't give mine away but I believe my account was hacked a couple times as there was a couple strange posts in my name a year or so ago!

    it's o'shrogan. he just uses 'j' as his first name. like that mr diddy fella, you know, the yank!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭✭later12


    That wouldn't bother me. Unless there was something I admitted on boards which I wouldn't admit in public, or unless I've said something I regretted, which I don't think is the case.

    As my username is part of my surname and I post about economics, anyone who knew me would probably guess that it was me posting anyway.

    Yeah I didnt think I knew anyone either lol but when asked I just told her my username and she went snooping through my posts and found a few interesting posts lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,291 ✭✭✭wild_cat


    I posted something on facebook and then posted it on here.

    Fourth or Fifth reply was a post with Hi using my real life nickname. Never found out who it was either.

    I don't think I'd mind. I don't want some of the people I know with kids to come on and think "jesus she must hate our children with all those over population, pro choice posts of hers."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,036 ✭✭✭Sanity_Saviour


    Gave to my cat

    Gonna regret that for the rest of my life

    Boards life is my real life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 jenny penny


    ok sorry about the text speak, i actually forget how to spell at this stage :rolleyes: Lavattack, so she likes to horseride & she's invited you to watch? sounds like something more then her snooping is going on here?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 jenny penny

    Agreed!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 670 ✭✭✭Naomi00


    One of my friends found my profile on here (that I hadn't used in ages)

    So I made a new account, but then ended up telling her my new username anyway. I don't mind that much, but it's weird how people can see all your posts from your profile.

    Hey you Roganjosh! Your name is all over the meat menu in The Taj Mahal. But very funny all the same. By the way my real name is Charles Patrick but they call me Chapati :D

    This account was initially set up so that 3 of us, sharing the same computer, didn't have to continually log in and out. This account is often left open for hours, anyone visiting can see my username. Why the need for secrecy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭ordinary_girl


    Hell no, I bitch about enough poeple that I know in real life on boards so I wouldn't give them my username.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 673 ✭✭✭Tubsandtiles


    Just my brother

    Why??

    It takes about 5 seconds to log in, and less to log out.
