Why are you afraid to post under a real sig? whats the point of fake handles & Anons? - GoFuckYourself.com

RogerV · 02-28-2006, 09:06 AM

what is the point of Anons.?. Are you afraid to talk shit or hurt someone's feelings face to face. It's always easier to talk behind someones back or behind a fake handle.

this place would be alot more productive if everyone had to put there pic and info in there sig. 80% of the wannabees and kids would stop posting and we could all get back to business.

I read alot of threads and its getting old when people flame under a fake name it's disrespectful in my eyes and lacks balls

Phoenix · 02-28-2006, 09:10 AM

RogerV sucks

ah shit this is my real nick

jk man..roger v#1

RogerV · 02-28-2006, 09:10 AM

the way I see it if you are a legit webmaster you dont need to post under a fake nick or anon. those who talk shit have shit

why do it? did you get teased as a kid?

Its really not about me I just read a few threads and I noticed the only people talking shit are those who hide behind a fake nick and do it anon because they are spineless.. Its getting real old

xclusive · 02-28-2006, 09:13 AM

I'm always Xclusive like me or hate me, I'm me

I understand the funny ones but fake nicks to attack people is bullshit and very cowardly.

RogerV · 02-28-2006, 09:15 AM

How are webmasters suppose to fight back against a anons?

James-AR · 02-28-2006, 09:16 AM

Well it is really simple...be a Stand up guy..and post under your real sig. of be a dog and hide under a false ID...

Furious_Male · 02-28-2006, 09:17 AM

I only have one nick. I tend to avoid drama (its unproductive) but in the event I need to tell someone to fuck off it will be with this name.

they might not agree and maybe dislike you but they dont disrespect you! I respect those who tell me to fuck off or anyone else to there face.

MattO · 02-28-2006, 09:21 AM

I don't have time to waste being a fake nick. I swear if some of the people on here spent as much time actually working as they do flaming and trolling they'd probably be rich.

I hear ya. I'd rather some tell me to jump off a bridge but at least let me know who you are when you talk shit to me.

Maybe we need to start a petition where we get webmasters to sign something and make some new rules her on GFY. When this board first started, it was awesome ... all webmasters. Now e have kids, surfers and other unwanteds.

Scan the database, check for duplicate emails on multiple profiles. Make it neccessary to put your full contact info in your sig .. I don't know, just tryig to figure out some kind of fix.

Roger ... I'm coming to Ft. Lauderdale in a few months. Would love to cross paths.

I totally agree 100% I think the Anons keep the real webmasters away from posting because they dont want to deal with the bullshit.

this place would be 10x more productive if they got rid of anons

what is your question exactly

woj · 02-28-2006, 10:18 AM

It's really a tool of scammers and crooks, if you have nothing to hide, there is absolutely no reason to have a fake nick, unless of course you are registering a fake nick just to be funny...

BradM · 02-28-2006, 10:24 AM

Wishful thinking I suspect: far more user-friendly boards than this still get many more lurkers than participants. Most webmasters apparently prefer to waste half our lives finding everything out for ourselves, rather than exchange even run-of-the-mill information.

A more interesting question might be why people hide behind fake personalities, because if the persona is fake, does the nick matter anyway? We are regularly told that this assh*le or that is really a nice guy when you meet him: why the difference? Maybe the board persona reflects what such a person would like to be like in "real life" if he had the bottle for it

Them wooden bumpers is solid red oak - and more solid than the original hollow metal factory bumper.

Either way, they're mostly just for show. The bumper's function is to distribute the impact to the frame mounts.

I mostly added the wooden one since the original was black and had a few minor scratches. The paint scheme was metallic blue and white, so the black bumper was an eyesore.

Plus it matched the wood floor in the truck bed. I always thought it was somewhat distinctive.

Rui · 02-28-2006, 11:00 AM

There is also more to it (and I'm 100% sure you know about that) but I agree in the majority of the cases its straight-out-pussyness....

Zarathustra · 02-28-2006, 07:03 PM

fake nicks are good for business. companies essentially do this, its called stealth marketing when they make fake nics and give a new movie/product rave reviews in a forum. eg. "I saw ....movie on the weekend. It was the best movie ever!!!!" posted in a forum that fits the demographics of the target audience in order to boost sales

stickyfingerz · 02-28-2006, 07:08 PM

My sites are in my sig, and they have my whois info.

I totally agree though. Fake nics suck, and I believe they are against the tos. Of course that kind of thing is left uninforced.

SilentKnight · 02-28-2006, 10:01 PM

Then there's forum founders who create fake nicks on their own forum to give the impression there's more activity happenin' than there actually is. Or to get fake drama going and get lurkers sucked in to participating.
