Your names on threads

Do you guys care if people type your names on threads?
At times i want to put the person's name but then i think, maybe they dont want other people to know their names.

For me, i dont care if they type my name on threads. Beta's a friendly community.

You mean real names? Personally, I don't care, though I'm sure other people may feel differently. I don't typically go by my real name online anyway. I doubt people would know who you're talking about if you'd say Heather. lol No, I'm just Rekka. ^_~

Yea real names. Like my real name is Harry and i dont care if people know it. I would actually feel happy that people know my name.

I have no real problem with it, although I myself won't use my name often in the forums, I don't mind it being used by others, it just doesn't occur to me to use my real name...besides Crackpot27 is just more fun. :hitting:

I agree with Crackpot27 ...

I don't often think to use my own name on forums that much, although I don't mind if others use it.

And, yes ... "Crackpot27" is a very fun name!

Since my screen name is my name, I guess it's pretty obvious what my answer is!

And I type just like I talk in real life in that I rarely call anyone by their real name... I invent one myself! Here on beta, to me your nicknames have nicknames! HA! So half of you guys have some weird hybrid name that I use for my own personal enjoyment when I speak to you. (If that bugs you, please let me know, cuz that's just my own weird way.

I think I've only mentioned my name twice on the internet. I generally don't mind as long as it's not slander.

Duuuuh.

Nope, I think it would be easy enough to figure out even if half of you didn't call me by name anyway. It's not as though there is any REAL privacy in the world anymore anyway; anyone with a few working brain cels could find out all sorts of stuff about us with a few searches. So... no biggie.

Besides, Enid is such a fun name, don't you think?

I don't really care if people use my real name or not. Either way works for me.

I personally think it's cool when someone ocassionally uses your real name. When I talk to people via pms, I always sign with my real name. If they choose to use it later in a thread, that's fine. I love my name.

But then again, I also love my username here.

I count myself in this group but not just by you.

I've noticed the longer the username, the more likely it will be shortened. I don't shorten people's usernames unless I talk with them frequently. I kinda feel like it's the difference between saying someone's last name vs their first name-chan.

Besides, I think it's totally adorable being called Duo, DT and of course duotrouble.

What are you asking me, Cloud?

I don't know what I am asking me you.
