Hi Declan,
I wonder if, (not now of course lol) if I was to change my name to example something completely different to Nickengland, but carried on posting in the way I usually do on the boards ~ would some other posters pick up on my messages and think ~ that sounds familar, kinda like Nickengland style..
I know of one example where a poster changed their name (shes quite a card ;-) and soon after people new who she was...
I guess sometimes if you've been posting here for quite a while, your posting style can become familar, so when the name changes (if it does) people notice that the messages are the same style and format etc but the posting name is different...
I don't know, I guess when you're communicating online everything can seem anonymous, but its nice to know on here who you're speaking with I think - by knowing their posting name, even if its not their real name if you know what I mean you get familar with them, and it makes it less chaotic and random..
If I changed my name - would people know it was me? ~ lol I remember Alexandra did it alittle while ago and got spotted after the first post! (very cleverly done!)
Kind regards
Nick
