Peterpools Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Not sure why but I surely wish everyone would sign their name at the end of each post or comment; justs makes everything so much more friendly and personal. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnightprowler Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Not a bad idea. It would be nice to know everyone's real name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I usually do, even though my member name is my last and first name together. I feel it adds a little personal touch. Even if you just put your first name, it lets us connect and interact on a personal level. Ryan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southwestforests Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 My name actually is Forrest, and I actually have autism, and I have had well past my fill of being mocked and ridiculed with that Run Forrest Run bullshit both online all over the place and in person and one time got arrested for punching a person person who got way too in my face with it. I would have zero problem taking that path again, so keep your mouth shut. I then stopped using my name online unless it absolutely had to be used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan Hothersall Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Makes sense to me. I use my name in forums like this as I can’t be bothered coming up with witty nicknames like some people do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hey Bro, Been signing my real name to every email I can remember posting just about anywhere. So I think it's a great idea whose time has certainly come. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I use my real name on every forum I'm on. As mentioned before, don't feel like coming up with some kind of nickname for each forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 MacStingy, How is using your real 1st name or nickname rather then the made up avatar handle going to infringe on your privacy? There are millions and millions Teds, Toms, Harry's, etc., then a few at best MacStingy's. Peter's point was that it's nice by convention to be able to reply to your real name then some of the handles members use. While I'm no expert, I'm assuming that with available software, one can trace a post back to the sender's email address as you can with a received email. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MacStingy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Personal choice. Period. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 If someone posted under a title that appeared to be a "real name" vs a made -up one (like habu2 for instance) how would you know it was their real name? If I stated right now my name was David Underwood how would you know that was my real name? And what difference would it make? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
