Nope. The only thing I ever posted that could have gotten me in trouble got bombed by a mod.
I'm good. |

The ignorance of basic internet security on here is retard level some times.
It's 2021, you can be tracked down and your home address located by a motivated middle schooler (or he knows how to use his smart phone to hire someone in India or Russia to track you down for a $10 itunes card). You guys reuse screen names allover the internet, leave a 10 or 20 year old record of ALL your posts/photos/videos (and their hidden info) lying around just waiting to be found and taken out of context. People have been fired or ruined over a single post. Use a VPN! Change your name. Don't reuse a screen name or password on multiple sites Don't post photos or videos- at least for a while- there seem to have been some recent security breaches related to them. Another simple tip: Ask your ISP for a new modem/router to change your home IP address and purge a lot of your internet history. |

Mine has been recognized by coworkers. TN cop with my late dogs name in it.
If ever given the chance to change for OPSEC reasons I will. Probably change to "PK-Drof", "Aimlessly", or "Sheepman" |

I’m going to kill my underscore to stop the underscore tards who have decided that if someone has an underscore they must be bad.

Maybe. I have changed my avatar a few times and things were a lot different when I chose this name.

I changed my user name the old school way back in 2011 by creating a new account. I have been on here longer with my current user name longer than with my previous name. No further change needed, I'm Dave and live in the UK.

Will they remove old names that don't log in anymore? Someone beat me to the name I wanted but I have never seen them post...

I wanted to change mine as soon as I figured out I was going to hang out here beyond whatever initial reason/question I had that caused me to join in the first place. But now I have had this terrible moniker for so long, I'll probably just keep it for purposes of recognition.

I should I left the band almost 10 years ago, but I've had this screen name a long time.

Brock Landers View Quote People who used their real name, reused names on other sites with personal info, people who joined when they were young, dumb and posted all kinds of bravado etc. A tool against dox / arock style attacks. |
