On the Record  Posts: 5087 Joined: 3 Mar 2008     | My 2 (non-competition) reviews, some of my profiles for some things that I've never heard of (What the hell is TGI and the Evening Prophet?) and 2 accounts that are not mine. It looks like there's a guy who's imitating me, and I don't like it. |
Paperboy  Posts: 45 Joined: 8 Sep 2008     | I typed in my real name and got the name of an actor. Though I typed in one of my IGNs one time, got no results. Tried again a month later and got a buttload of them. Random profiles made on random sites (guess I mustve pissed someone off. That, or they like the name Sorayna) |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 670 Joined: 8 Nov 2007    | items on ebay that aren't mine I'm actually rather sad google doesn't try to correct a non-existent word. Maybe I've become a household name? Ah, how I cherished the days all 600 results on google for Vortigar were me... My real name gets me one page of mine and then a million that aren't. That's what you get when your first name is Dutch royalty and your last is French aristocracy. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2163 Joined: 15 Jun 2008     | Escapist first, then myspace, then vampirefreaks, then thecomicforums.com, then a bunch of stuff I don't remember signing up for, but appears to be linked to the ecapist (triangle gaming initiative, warcry). 1,910 hits |
Anonymous Source  Posts: 9 Joined: 19 Aug 2008  | I get about 1,090 hits searching for my screen name; it basically shows the various blog/forum accounts I have, since I use the same name across the entire web. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 96 Joined: 18 Jun 2008  | A couple of forum posts i did, but the most funny thing about my name, I seem to be the only one using it, since i only get 46 hits. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 623 Joined: 28 Jul 2008  | First result is a Yahoo!Answers profile, but not mine. Then my Escapist Profile. Then my GodHand review on the Escapist's forum. Then a YouTube profile (but not mine, my YT screenname is Rafalgahr). Then an old post by me dating back to Nov 2006 on the Gueux's forum (French-speaking xbox-modding community). Then a Steam account (not mine, don't have Steam). 832 results at all... |

Mine is, surprisingly! While my initials, RAK, are hardly unique, the "theUndead" suffix appears to be! My real name, however, only has about one or two oblique references to me, and for that, I'll be eternally grateful. I'm extremely paranoid and believe that the Eric S. Raymond argument, "Everybody should use their real name on the internet" should only apply if the real name is used for a worthy article; that is, if I actually got something published on a reputable website, including The Escapist, I would use my real name. |

My name appears to be fairly unique, although some guy from Lithuania is using e-xhumed as a user name (his sign up to a pornsite message board came up on google.) |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 623 Joined: 28 Jul 2008 | RAK> Using your real name OTI is risky outside of publication purposes, and even then, no one knows who is going to read what you wrote, or who might make claims under your name. The ESR argument would work if there were no trolls at all... Yet I don't like this idea. Hmm, I have 15,500 hits for my first name, and the first two ones are me, them some other ones quote my name, and are by people I know... suddenly I find this utterly creepy...
Well, the internets is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll find (and abusing it will turn your stomach inside out). |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1058 Joined: 2 Jul 2008   | Apparently I'm a villain in Batman who seems to...do...evil things? With evil powers? I dunno, his power seems to be squeezing people with his palms...really hard...so their ribs pop out... I had no idea they'd decided to make a comic after me, quite frankly I'm honoured...although they could have chosen something a little cooler... |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1422 Joined: 7 Jun 2008  | Only 2,000 hits!? I fail at using the Internet. Though I did manage to find some Korean website with someone using my name. Now I am going to be wondering for the rest of the day if it is a coincedence or he really stole it. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4331 Joined: 9 Jul 2008 | I can't believe I never thought to put ElephantGuts into google. I use this name for most things, so here's the list: A lot more of the results would be about me if people didn't have to blog so damn much... |

868. First one credits me with making a giant combination map for WHRFP. It refers to me but I didnt make it. One for a WoW site that isn't me. Same with Youtube, so now I know why I had to choose a different username. No one else uses dirtyjunkiescum. heh. No hits on that one...exclusivity is mine. Or non existance even.
