Anyone who is motivated to do so can figure out who another person is online. Using your real name is a great gesture, but only that - a gesture.
Sorry Im out of cookies but hey here is a muffinSober Thal said:I want a fucking cookie!Hobo Steve said:Uhh good for you?
What do you want? A fucking cookie?
You still have a avatar that aint you and you aint added your address/phone number to your bio so at best you are only half assing it anyway.

OT: The only thing that isn't 'Sober Thal' for any of my many accounts, is minecraft. I didn't realize that the user/account name was the in game name too. I used my email, which has my real name, which I don't want to have for minecraft! I wish Notch would let people fix this...
Sober Thal said:Great conversation here. Thanks ; )
I have all my accounts, STEAM, PSN, XBLA, all with the same name. Does that count?? Probably not, eh?
Basically, I have both of these two reasons to not use my real name. No one from the internet is going to stalk me.Sober Thal said:Great conversation here. Thanks ; )

Because your name isn't even close to 100% responsibility.
Bags159 nailed it right on the head, it was used during chase scenes. I loved watching Benny Hill after schoolBags159 said:I could post on my real name and I doubt any of you could ever figure out where I live. But that's because I have an extremely common first and last name.
Seriously, last quarter in an HONORS class (30 students) someone else in the class had my same first and last name.
Ticket Master and Bird in the Hoof. They even use a modified Benny Hill theme in the background music.Evan Mott said:I just finished watching the 14th episode when does that happenJoseph Valdez said:Me too. That show is awesome.

You can't do that with a user name? You think the only reason people are following the [a href=http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/3/19/]'GIFT'[/a]? Look at yahoo boards. Most of those idiots use their actual names or link to their e-mail/facebook. They aren't afraid to say some scandalously racist and stupid shit.Evan Mott said:Because one day I decided to stop hiding and take 100% responsibility for what I'm saying.

And My name is is similar to Gay Tony's Cokehead Boyfriend Evan Mossace_of_something said:My real name sounds more made up than my fake name. That and it's harder for online people to remember you enough as it is without there being 2313 Johns on the boards.Evan Mott said:Because one day I decided to stop hiding and take 100% responsibility for what I'm saying.
This is more of the reason I have a posting name. That, and when I was young my parents said not to use my full name online.Owyn_Merrilin said:I just don't like complete strangers knowing too much about me, and I think most people who post under a pseudonym do so for that reason.
