Name of person

I think you'll find that on most forums (not just this one), people do not reveal their full names.  I think you were also asking about how to search for people based on their location.  I got to say, this whole conversation feels weird to me.  I mean, you don't walk down a mall yelling out your full name and where you are from.  Why do it here?  The internet is very public.

Agreed.

I participate on a forum where I have nearly10k posts, there are thousands of members, and I can count the number of people that I know their full name on both hands with a finger or two to spare.

I have about 35 people in my phone with the last name NCKA. Some are real names other are just screen names.

In case anyone is wondering my last name is Lauer.


I think I'm actually younger than him I hope.

More people know me by 'Tote' than my real name.
And I'll answer a lot quicker to 'Tote' too.
I will guarantee that there are plenty of people who will have my back and put their @$$ on the line if needed even though I may not know their first or last name on this site.
It's been proven in the past.

Roger that.

I just put my first name in my on-line name.  Mostly because it's an alias as well.  The last person to call me by my legal/ given name was my mom and she passed away some time ago.

My screen name can be long at times.

See what I mean?

most of my real friends call me rockfish, you can as well if you like.

What do you mean by "real" name?     

Um, I guess my real name is..BATMAN!
Jk dude

Not very many members call me by my screen name  I don't understand that 

You go fishing with them.  More than once.

Go, over their house and eat dinner you just caught.  Have them over your house.

In other words, become real friends.........It works.

I'm scared the internet meanies will come camp out and stalk me if my real name was up here...I would have to tone it down...that would be a boring week for me...on my motorcyle web site things get heated between two guys and the other dude is six states away and has to  live with it...here you get a loose nut mad enough you might get a knock knock...at most we are only hours apart, often only a few miles

knock knock?

Go look at the past and present GS sign up lists. You'll get a couple hundred of names there. We call people by their forum name all the time.

GS and Albion lists = most active members here.

+1 the only way you remember names are know the people themselves. Get active get involved with some events ands hookups. Btw you will always forget names
