I've been seeing posts from individuals whose names I recognize but the posts do not reflect any of their posts from before registration. Anyone forced out of their original screen name?

Not me

I do wonder what ever became of ttt. He/she was a BIG poster before the registration.

LOL!

Ha, very funny. : ) I noticed that posts with your screen name remained consistent after registration but there is one particular name that I think was lost due to an abrupt change. I don't want to say in the event this person has changed their opinion and is obviously entitled to do so.

Darvy_Kuntz

What happened to me was, I tried just using my screen name from the previous unregistered site: Darvy. However, the registration system seemed slow and screwed up. At one point it froze or gave me an error message. So I tried it again and it said that Darvy was already used (probably found the one I tried entering originally.)

So, I tried logging in with just Darvy - didn't work. So I created a new screen name: Darvy Kuntz (my full married name)

over n out

Please Suzie...just a hint. I know one who definitely lost his--noticed it just as soon as the other person started posting with it--it was obvious it wasn't the same poster.

Suzie

OO It is possible that this person may not have necesarily "lost" the original name but goes by a shortend version and then someone else highjacked the name knowing the name's history. But as I said before, it is possible that this person has changed a basic opinion and that's perfectly fine.

I thought I'd wait till the last moment to register, then one day I saw somebody using my name and e-mail, one of those imposters! Got scared, registered right away It's mostly slow and boring after the registration, after all 300 posted their free gift announcements.

I've been here forever

Dayle

I use by own name. It's quite unique enough thanks to Mom.

Darvy_Kuntz

Dayle, do you have a cold?

grubb

Darvy -
too funny! if she did have a cold, she would have thanked Bob...

I was able to register all three of my screen names

grubb

one i use seriously, one i use for anonymity, and one i use for silly or stupid (on my part, not other's!) remarks...

i believe 'there are no stupid questions'... except my own!

RNC

I kept all three as well.One for politics(guess which one),one for travel,one for fun.

luna

I used to post as ja, but as I have a handle on another travel BB that incorporates luna, I decided to be consistent.

Scarlett

I kept mine and a couple of others in case I wear out my welcome as Scarlett
I do know of one case where someone was posting under initials, someone in a stalker mode took that screen name and tries to post as the original poster..there are still troublemakers here!
Hi Luna! I liked ja's postings

Dan

The Union Square basher who likes to act the fool on the San Francisco boards stole a couple of screen names previously used by others. Pretty childish if you ask me.

Suzie

It's interesting you say that Dan. It's also the whole SF vs SJ thing too.

Scarlett

I wonder it it is the same person. I looked up the one that I know about and they have only posted a couple of times, as someone else. Wouldnt be so bad if they hadn't done this before.
Creepy~

Kal

Nope...still stuck with the same ol' Kalvin Kahunaski.
