Well, searching both my Escapist and Youtube account have only me on it, so I guess it is. Yeah.

I'm the one and only Rt0! I use it for almost every online account and I'll be damned if anyone wants or would try to use it.

If you google mine you get my steam account and my escapist profile. The rest are all abbreviations of stuff.

So far, barring a few Twitter mentions and mentions in a Mafia game, no-one else uses it. Really should get rid of that DeviantArt profile, I never use it.

I sometimes find others who got to mine first.

Usually it turns out that I registered before and forgot about it.

When you google Furburt I think you just get me.

Yeah it seems to be mostly me.

This is interesting however, according to Urban Dictionary, a Furbert is 'A person, usually a man, that is erotically involved or fixated on teddy bears. This is considered to be a fetish.'

Hmm. Learn something new every day.

Stay away from me! :/

OT: i seem to own mine, when you google it, it just comes up my escapist profile and PS3 trophies

Yup, top 5 on google are me. then things get mixed in with more of me. kind of creepy. Actually, typing my name into google has similar effects.

Interestingly, if you type in my name as it appears here (MelasZepheos) I pretty much am the first page and a half, and then the first one who isn't me is the girl I stole it off. (Who I hate, and I'm glad I'm apparently better known by the internet.)

If you type it in as Melas Zepheos, she is on the first page, which causes me no end of grief. I shall have to remedy this situation any way I can.

I can't be really annoyed though, seeing as how I did steal it from her, so I already knew I couldn't be the only user.

Nope - most of the first page of Google is about some iPhone app called "Drunk Sniper Lite".

Damn.

Google Catkid906 and I appear. Had it for a while now.

Of course, I don't use it for everything. ; )

Calumon: Google Calumon and you get me. ^^

I goggled mine, all that came up were a bunch of hat companies selling things that cover your head. You can see my dilemma.
