    Re: This is an open forum - were you aware?

    Although it was wrong of this person to respond as they did, I do think it might be an idea to emphasise that it's an open forum on the introductory pages.

    I used my real name without realising I wouldn't get the opportunity to change it later except by asking the administrators to do it. I've kept using my real name because otherwise the responses to my posts wouldn't make sense, but I'd really like to change it now, after being reminded that the forum is open.

    If my name was more common, I wouldn't mind so much, and I don't delude myself that I'm important enough for anyone to give a flying fig about me. All the same these are very personal issues and don't like even to entertain the 1% possibility that someone might be able to find out who I am.

    I don't remember now why I used my real name - I think I was so desperate to post that I couldn't be bothered to think up a pseudonym.

    Re: This is an open forum - were you aware?

    I totally agree. I used the same old usernames for all forums and websites, including youtube, google groups, and so on. My friend googled that word and now knows about all the videos I watch on youtube, my anxiety, what software support forums I use and even what poetry I put on a poetry site. Devestating..........
    Take this as a lesson people.

    I have no idea why this person has done this, if he is on a site like facebook or whatever he is clearly wrong using the internet as you have to use your real name for lots of things, sure it wont come up on google but if he is that pernickity he shouldne be online at all.

    Only my thoughts here lol.

    Re: This is an open forum - were you aware?

    I was always aware that this was an open forum, it's users responsibility to safe guard their own privacy/usernames etc.

    Maxine is my real name, everyone has always known that.. thankfully for me.. there's a specialist Anxiety doc who's called Maxine, she comes up for pages then we get the infamous Maxine Carr ( I'm NOT her! lol).. then I'm about 40 pages in.

    Unless you know me from on-line you'd never know it was me in real life.
