Some people do, but I don't. I already have so many usernames and passwords, that for forums I am one and the same everywhere I go.

People here and at LS go to other forums and use different usernames. I can't keep track of who people are after awhile. Now I have a little note stuck to my monitor with peoples multiple usernames so that I can keep track of who I'm talking to. :lol:

It gets very confusing! Fun topic by the way. ;)

I use the same everywhere. But some dipstick is using my username on another forum.

To the best of my knowledege, I am still the only "lokoike" on the web, and hopefully it will stay that way. I always post as "lokoike", too, cause I'm not clever enough to think of more than one good user name.

Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive.

I use more than one alias.

Internet is pretty scary, example if you have one alias when you started using computers several years ago, and wasnt so good with computers.

Then a look on Google and its cache page and such, it can easy find stuff linked to you and alias that you did or said years ago.
