erm no offence, but your username is lf2-hacker here, if this guys name would be LF2-HackerX or so I would change something, but in this case... I can't care about all your usernames in all other games, or the Razen who wrote the Data Changer Book could kill me or I could kill RectumHoward cause he use the "MH" in his name...

see your point, bad for you, but what do you think I should change?

i just wanted to share this and say Dark flare that it's not good what he's doing
(hab vieleicht etwas überreagiert aber ich find sowas einfach nurnoch dreist.
vorallem weil ich gerade auf die stämme angemeldet bin.
ich finds nurnoch dreist sich keinen eigenen namen auszudenken und den von anderen zu klauen)
if dark flare has posted here this thread can be trashed.

I wonder if he really got the name from that game. I mean, there's a chance that he might've never played it, it just popped up in his head, similar to you. I have that quite often, my classmates often have the exact same thought that I have in that very moment. Another problem is... grab google and type in any username of these forums. Most of the time, you'll get multiple hits. That doesn't mean that people have registered at multiple places, it can also be that ideas popped up independent from the people that are using them. So yea, there's not terribly much we can do about him... if this would be the case, many people around here would be threatened because of name stealing

would be interesting to hear the opinion of the guy itsself, too. PMed him...

Can names be copyrighted?

By the way. Flare is the name of the Firzen of my mod :P and I made that 2 years ago. Well... except for the 'dark'...

Dark Flare is actually also just a combination of 2 (not-so-common) words from the English language, so there's not much you can do about that... if it was a name you thought of (something like DON Giovanni, although this was stolen from Mozart's opera :P - how about Alveron Farandhûn?), well THEN you might have a good reason to say somebody stole it, IF that name isn't common and not found anywhere else.

I chose the name "KadajNoir" because a lot of forums have a "Noir" already.
With this unique name i could register everywhere.....
but an idiot saw my name and stole it AND registered in a forum i wanted to register

[Evil Sonidow]

Nobody out of 6 billion persons in the world has ever thought of the name "Dark flare". Ever. At all. HE MUST BE COPYING YOU! Get a law suit.

[Ascor]

yeah yeah sonidow

calm down

Be more creative with your names and perhaps google them before using them.

I have two other names that I use interchangably on different sites that don't have any noteworthy google results for, apart from Tanuki/Cirno and that stupid nine (that stupid nine isn't that common either so woo)

Most other names I use are pretty common though, if you look at Cirno or Tanuki for example you can probably find roughly a hundred people or something using those nicks from time to time. Hell, Sinow used to use Tanuki or perhaps still does, which is why I originally started out with Tan00ki.

An interesting article to have a look at would be this: http://shii.org/knows/Usernames
