Name Theives!


altune

Recommended Posts

Yes, this probably should be on the rants section but it isn,t really about RS. I picked an origional name, a name nobody would use because nobody would no what it means, as my trademark over the internet. Just for fun I google searched "Altune" and over 100 people stole my name!

 

On websites I never heard of my name is popping up and I am sick of it!!!

Bet you can't guess what Altune means!

You can't? Insanage!

Hmm. So these 100 people saw your name and copied it? Or did they just happen to have the same name? If it's the latter (which I'm thinking it is, correct me if I'm wrong), then no, they didn't steal your name.

What is the world coming to. If someone borrows your name, for example robert, and names their child robert its a compliment. But God forbid if they take your internet alias. Shame on them.

Interesting...if you google my name, anything that comes up has something to do with me (with one exception...some program named gonpost).

funny how you go nuts over something so silly

 

 

 

obviously you didn't pick something as original as you had thought...and you gotta remember that this game has existed for 6.5 years and it isn't possible for accounts' names to be deleted...and there are A LOT of players around the world

I consider my own name to very original - and yet, I've seen people using my name all over the place. I'm fairly certain someone's copying someone, because (at least where I can check), no one's used my name at any point around or before I first signed up for RuneScape as Blipo. Pretty darn frustrating. I've also come across Bliepo, Blippo, and Bllipo. >.

Occasionally ill come across something I cant use my nick on and i have to go for MercifullUK. Its really annoying because its usually because the other person has made a typo and doesn't even use the user name any more.

I know the feeling. I spent hours coming up with the name misplaceditems about 7 years ago, and it's not all that big. When I joined runescape, I made the account misplacedme (items didnt fit, and I made misplaced a long time ago) At that time, there was nothing on google for misplacedme. And now, there are about 7,500.

 

If you take out the tip.it related stuff, there is about 5 pages of misplacedme links, and a good handful is stuff I've never heard of because some woman stole my name.... I know I don't rightfully own it, but it's still saddening.
