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.

Or your name just isn't as original as you think it is?

The reason why I cannot tell;

But this I know, and know full well,

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

Expand your mind.

It's not that unlikely that people coincidentaly chose your name. 6 letters, all fairly common.

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

Omg, they're really stupid people then :anxious:

 

 

 

How do you know that you had the name before them? :wall:

That name just isnt original

 

 

 

 

 

I see this all the time and they could argue that you copied them.

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. >.

Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

Dude, seriously, make a weird name, not something that coulda been a typo. Best idea. I doubt you'll see much...

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.

When I google my name I only run into stuff that has got to do with me. I'm so original.

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.

Believe it or not there are other Nadril's out there. :shock: :(

I typed in cyco in Google. I got 510,000 results.
