altune Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XplsvBam Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassin_696 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 It's not that unlikely that people coincidentaly chose your name. 6 letters, all fairly common. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magekillr Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 lol 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Care to show us where you first laid claim to this name, then prove someone 'stole' it? This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaN Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 That name just isnt original I see this all the time and they could argue that you copied them. ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blipo Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 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. >. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 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.

MPM Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 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. ~M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
