RE: Hiding behind your nickname? - bapediboopi - 12-02-2013
Actually when I was active (in olden times
) I never even posted on boards with the nick name I was known for, made new accounts practically every time And not even "cyberbuddies" I had known for 5-6 years knew my name or what country I came from... but then again theres no point in knowing. Its irrelevant information. We share the information where we all gain, but it makes no difference if my name would be John or Mike.. so IF you are up to something or if people can connect your nick to something, then at least come back pretending its the first time you're here if you wanna use your real name... with a clean slate sort of.Thats my thoughts on the subject at least, but then again I might be overly paranoid
Hm, I can see that people today worry about hackers being the enemy, that was never the case before... or course we had our small wars. But this was new to me. The scene was better before I think :/ But I feel like an old fart saying that. hehe.
