Name swapping?

[marmalady]

With some of the recent name swapping going around, I'm wondering if anyone else is as confused as I am? Or that the forums are being taken advantage of? Maybe it's just me, but do others have the same thoughts?

Marmalady I've had similar thoughts and even posted about it, but no one replied. Of course, I guess if someone were doing that they wouldn't reply http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/wink.gifand I supposed everyone else just wrote me off as paranoid! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif I do think some people play around with identity here, which makes me feel kind of eerie, but it's the internet so I guess it's par for the course.

http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif chaos? confusion? anarchy? http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif

actually i've been guilty of it myself, least just changing my screen name within the same account just cuz the mood strikes me and as someone else so poignantly pointed out, i must have too much free time on my hands. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif

not sure why all the new account creations by the same person other than for the same reason, cuz it seems most of them are sniffed out rather rapidly. maybe they think us crips are also dumb shits and won't figure out who they are, no cuz they make it too painfully obvious. who knows, and better yet, who cares. not worth really thinking about is it? now, marm, go back to that kitchen and cook us up some that good stuff. i think steven's tummy been cryin for more veggies. i think i heard it clear up here, i swear. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Strat, you're gettin' as bad as DA - I actually had to send him some cookies! Maybe if I made some cream of broccoli soup he'd feel better? http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm not losing sleep over this - believe me, there are much worthier things to worry about! It just skeeved me a little.

http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif Bad as DA??? http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif then u'd better get busy and send me a cake or something quick before i turn into some green, horned creature screamin' for more sugar.

might suggest a hearty veggie soup instead, maybe the scent of beef will distract him long enuff to inhale the veggies. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

hehe, wait till he reads this later.

If a friend or family member wants to read, but not write, should they just sign on under my user name or should they create a name of their own? thanks.

[duramater]

Hee Hee, I have a feeling some people really may like talking to themselves. Lot of splitting going on around here.

Man, DA got cookies?

Marmalady I would never be surprised, anything altruistic done with good feeling for the public is often taken advantage of. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif

Okay, Mary and Strat, I'll undo my pigtails and quit playing Pollyanna! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif


Blundy, if they just want to read, yes they can log on under your name; but please, if they want to post something, have them register - we've had a couple of 'couples' posting before, and it's confusing for us poor souls! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

[joyt]

joyt..

some people keep coming in and out of here under different names, other people have several identities, and others lurk under aliases when the mood suits them. very common on the internet from what i hear.

mary is the only name i can ever keep up with...although on MSN i am "sleepy" but that should not surprise anyone.... http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

[joyt]

ahhhhhhhh...ty, mary! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

i thought carecure only allowed one username per IP number...this "name swapping" goes on incessantly at nm...they have 3000+ names registered, but that certainly doesn't mean that 3000+ different people are registered. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

Just for the record TimN is me, who is TimN & will always be TimN. I'm stating this under no accusations or etc, but be assured this is & will be the only "name" I use as it is my name. Thx for your time.... next.... lol
Tim

PS: As Joy said, do these "multi-names" affect the actual # of users of CC?

i thought carecure only allowed one username per IP number...

Most people don't have static IP's. They get assigned a random IP when they login from their ISP.

I'm absolutely kidding. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif Just wanted to see who's on their toes. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

[marco25]

For the record: I was marcomo, now martha2.

Marcomo was the only name I used, and now martha2 is and will be the only name I use. You can take that to the bank. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

[marmalady]

Thanks to all the honest members who've stated what their names are - I'm sure the ones who continually use alternate identities aren't going to be quite so forthcoming! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[CLC379]

name swapping been going on since site started i know several who post under dif names.

[Andy]

And now for things that might make you go hmmm....

I used to post under 'Vicki'



No, I'm not gender identity challenged, I just couldnt get Andy as a user name, so I used the gf's sign in. Then I figured out that I could get *Andy*, so now I am who I pretend to be http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif
