It always amazes me why some people use a different user name on different forums ?
As far as i am aware i am either Martin Biggs or biggs682 on any of the forums i use
Seriously you've put so much up about you including photos that even a bone idle raconteur like me could probably find you within minutes.I was an accredited cyber crime investigator, which was an eye opener.
I use a different user name on every forum, although I'm only in a couple (one cycling, one ham radio, one jolly exciting Ford Fusion Forum). I use different email addresses for each, and I split my web surfing between different devices, visiting certain websites with only certain devices, and use different internet connections to surf them.
As a consequence chucking my real name, email address, forum username etc into Google brings up nothing about me aside from the one forum searcher already knew about.
It would also be impossible to find information by trying to cross reference device Mac addresses, email addresses, IP details etc.
Never say never, but why make it easy for an idiot/stalker/foreign intelligence service to track you down?
Basically, as others have said, to stop being tracked across other forums.It always amazes me why some people use a different user name on different forums ?
Yeah. All we know is where you were raised, your job history and postings, your hobbies, your volunteer work, your rough location and photos of you. Its hardly the secretive life of Keyser Soze.Be my guest.
Were you a former stockbroker, investment advisor, and financier by any chance?Of course, my final line of defence is my name. I share my name with a particularly infamous American (so infamous that when in the states many people thought I was taking the pish), so even if someone with bad intent got hold of my name it would be zero use to them on any search engine
