who took my OcForums name and put it on AIM!?!

[Mr.Guvernment]

i have right now 11 passwords i can remeber and all of them are 8 letters or more and all contain special characters and numbers and letters


to bad i have trouble remebering such simple things

 

[JoT]

I used to think my name was unique, at least in the way I spell it. After a quick ICQ search a while back (searching for the numbers to my name to log in), I discovered that there are tons of folks with their names like mine. Guess my initials aren't unique enough

 

[@md0Cer]

I thought just about every combination of letters was taken considering there are millions, if not billions of aim accounts. But, beleive it or not, amd0cer is unique.

 

[violineb]

For me my s/n is almost alway free. The only time it wasn´t was for.... AIM and I don´t use aim anyway

 

[disk11]

I don't use my forum handle on AIM, but just about everywhere else. Time to check

A buddy of mine here at NC State has "I go to NC State" and got "I go to App State" since he is transferring there. I was really surprised those were available.

 

[Goateh]

Can't say people take my name, I mean, Who'd want it?

 

[Athlonight]

i was wondering how effective talking with the person who has your screen name would be. i was mad when i found out my forum name was in use on AIM too. i wonder if you could talk with the person and maybe buy it from them or something. what would really **** me off would be if no one ever signed onto the name. i wonder if AOL deletes old accounts and the names become available again after a certain period of time

Nope, been waiting for a screen name i lost the password to in 1996, still NO GOOD.

 

[squasher]

Well the name that I play games under "squasher" is taken and so is my other name "land".
I really like land for some reason, i dunno why

 

[gt24]

gt24 itself is normally taken, but then again it is four letters!

goldentiger24 was normally not taken, except on AIM, there I had to add a bit to the name. However, the addition worked out well.

Still, I'm one of only a few rare Golden Tiger's that you'll see on the net however I bet others exist...

 

[Cerberus2k7]

I have my OCF name on AIM but then changed it. I should do a format honestly because I don't know half the people on my list. Damn trillian importing everyone from old lists.

 

[yo4444]

I actually saw a Xenocide on CS:source tonight and asked if he was from OCforums. He didn't know what OC forums was,... Thank god it wasn't our Xeno, cause this guy was a d@#che..... thats a pretty unique name and its being used by more than one as well...

 

[Elif Tymes]

Elif_Tymes=Most Unique Name Evar.

Elid_Copenhagen=Name I use when elif_Tymes is taken because I registered and lost the password

Elidian=The name I use when I want to use a single word.

 

[mortimer]

i think im gonna add MadSkillzMan to my BL and b**** em out lol

You *could* register the name as a trademark.

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

My solution to avoid having the same name as someone else was to make new initials. Thus I decided to use the name, "RJARRRPCGP" back in early 2003. I was just called "RJA" but, there's other sources called "RJA", which made me disappointed. Also found out that there's already a "rja.com", thus the reason for the above.

I also made sure that the letter sequence didn't exist on the internet before deciding for final to use the name, "RJARRRPCGP". Thus "RJARRRPCGP" literally is the most unique name.

 

[nerdlogic]

I thought your name was just you pounding the keyboard cause every name was changed.

 

[TollhouseFrank]

LOL. Believe it or not.. mine is very often NOT used... it or my alternative that i often use in online games (Das or Das_Gute).

 

[MrCooper]

How come i was able to register as MrCooper on aim.

 

[TollhouseFrank]

so familiear sounding.... almost like..... sesame street.... (or is that Mr. Hooper?.... its been 16 or 17 years since i last watched)

 

[Quailane]

I never have any problem at all except with ebay. My name doesn't have any funky numbers or spellings, it is just too original.

 

[kyleboy77]

My name normally Kyleboy7 (somehow that one got messed up here. I only use kyleboy77 on ocforums), however simple is almost never taken. And if it is its ususally because I forgot I've already registerd at this sight and I cycle through my old passwords until I get the right one.
