Ever try to google you ICmag screen name? Mostlikley first result will be your ICmag profile......Shitty eh.

02-19-2007, 08:36 PM

and what is worse, some people use the same screen name all over the internet.

CCronik · 02-19-2007, 08:38 PM

Very good point

mrgrowmez · 02-19-2007, 09:38 PM

yeah i just discovered this after a bit of midnight paranoia. so i googled my screen name and up it popped......damn

pieceofmyheart · 02-19-2007, 09:45 PM

Yeah, Iv'e googled POMH before and it is right there in ya face, hahahaha. But apparently there are other people who use that nic because there is a myspace with the name and it isn't me. haha

Actually it can be funny to google some nics......everynow and then you may get a good laugh, I did the other day.

But I knew it was like this with google for a long time.

You have to admit it would be a little bit funny if someone else had the same screen name as you and got raided because they posted their address somewhere. Especially if it was some kid who lived with their parents.

You'd think they'd block the bots...

Rubberband Man · 02-20-2007, 02:11 AM

blocking the bots would be suicidal for this website.

NiteTiger · 02-20-2007, 03:05 AM

How so?

I can understand wanting people to be able to find the site through a search engine, but that doesn't mean the bots need to peruse and catalog every post.

An advertising website cant block the bots from the entire site, its counterproductive. What gets cached by the search engines is the main page of the forum but nothing after that, hence why our names show up. Its just the "online" list. Goes to show why you never use duplicate userIDs on sites where there is a danger to being tracked down.
