    I just don't get it????

    I just don't get it????


    Each morning I approve pending new forum accounts and remove all the spammers. (lots of spammers)

    I look at the names people come up with for forum nicknames?????

    I just don't get it? Why not use your name, a part of your name or your business name?

    Last time I checked everyone joins Facebook with their real name?

    All the chatter about "personal security" seems to fly out the window when it comes to Facebook?

    The reasons you mention about Facebook is why I have a very small footprint on that platfom and almost never post anything. Too many security risks. As a non-buisness owner, I enjoy the relative privacy here.

    If you want to see some interesting nicknames, go over to the automotive blog Jalopnik and read the comments. Long, snarky, witty, and really clever user names are an art form.

    Yep, I think it's just about creativity. I wouldn't have an account on Facebook if they paid me.

    With the exception of facebook, which (for me) is really only to keep up with separated friends and family, my entire online footprint is under mk9750. I have no problem sharing my real name with many forums and such, but there are plenty of areas on the web I do not want that info on, and as such, I use one web name to identify myself.

    Is mine the best way to do things? I have no clue. But it works for me.

    BTW, I am Mark

    Same here. I've had this user name for as long as ive been on forums (and when I used to play online video games), 18 - 20 years... back in the Delphi days of a offroading forum, TTORA. I don't even think of it anymore, it just use the same user name.

    When I went to join Facebook, I TRIED using a forum name. It wouldn't let me. If there is/was a way, I never found it.

    I don't bother with Facebook, though. Not a very social person.

    I'm not on Facebook and don't use instagram, snap, etc. This is pretty much it for me.

    I like trying to figure out what the nicknames mean.
