Has your in game name, forum name, or avatar ever been stolen?

[Randomologist]

I don't really have this problem any more. My original forum name was Googleable, so random people could find my E-mail

Never had any problems with Randomologist, though.

As for the avatars, I'm a sucker for an animated GIF, and it seems that ones I find only last a week before someone "borrows" it. I once made one with Flash to say "don't nick my avatars"... and it was nicked.

 

[sky14kemea]

no, but once someone took a prints-creen of my avatar on a thing called Gaia online, and used it as her forum sig
she took it down when i reported her though

 

[Hoppetussa]

Someone else on The Escapist stole my avatar once.

 

[Trivun]

Not with my forum name, because it's my own name Clever, eh? People never believe me when I tell them this is my actual name, because it's Serbian and I'm from the UK. However, I'm not sure about my Youtube name, crispymongoose. That's probably been stolen but I've never actually seen it anywhere else... As for my avatar, yes but only because it's so common (at least, until Fanboy got to it... Thanks Fanboy ).

 

[Ronwue]

Nope, can't say I have someone use the same thing. If they would I would ask if they knew where it came from.

 

[Skizle]

at gaming centers i usually play CoD. there is just use my favorite name "Walmart_Sercurity", then every little kid that thinks its funny takes my name. RAAAGE!

 

[zimpirate]

No, because I have a lock on zimthehomicidal and zimpirate.

 

[Checowsky]

I'm pretty sure if you google Checowsky you still only get me...but I haven't checked in a while... if its Planetside, CounterStrike or Team Fortress 2 then its me. Then theres my Youtube channel which has been hosted on some sites due to my Futurama theme song upload and Kingdom Hearts 2 song edit upload. Otherwise I don't think theres another Checowsky out there, due to the fact I made the name up out of Cow Sky and Chec.

 

[kommando367]

kommando: yes, kommando367: no, avatar: to the best of my knowledge

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

No, because I am pure, awesome, poorly translated German, epic, original, greatness.

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

no one is me, i am unique

mostly becuase the other Lord_Ascendants are me in disguise


shhhhh

 

[ioxles]

Ioxles stands for psychotic robotic tortoise, it was a character in a short story my brother wrote when he was twelve, paired with Badger Vance (gun wielding born of a human badger) they would terrorise/save/kill the animals that lived in the Jolly Woods, the moving pirate forest/crazy golf course.

Never seen anyone use that nick anywhere else but me and would know they stole it if I saw it anywhere.

edit: As for my avatar - drew that in paint, it's me and my bro.

 

[I III II X4]

I seriously hate it when people use the nick: Fronken, cause im probably the original when it comes to that nick (i've had it since 1993), and everyone i know irl knows me as Fronken, no one uses my normal name, not even me, i hate my normal name (Fredrik), and its the nick i've used on the internet since 97 when i got my first computer.

Frodrick Fronkensteen...

Anyway, I never saw any other twenty-fours that use the same Roman numeral pattern as me. As for my avatar, I SHOULD be the only one using it. It's my character, after all.

 

[WillSimplyBe]

Psh... I rather wish, it would be kind of flattering, but I switch tags too often... Vegalyon, Rominus, WillSimplyBe... things just pop into my head and I use em. sometimes even more than one at once...

schitzotags...

 

[Sweep117]

Nope mine is completely original....-_-

That's a weird name. How'd you come up with it?

I used to go as Sweep but that became more and more difficult to get so I added 117 (Yes, it's MC's number. Roll your eyes.) to make it a little more available. So far, haven't seen it anywhere.

 

[prinxess]

I liked Itunes or something so..

Behold, eTuners

 

[One Seven One]

nope i googled gamekid171 recently and found only things i have done (well i did only look at the first and last page) but i do have a friend on xbox live who's tag is gamerkid1 it was just a complete random match up and i noticed he had the same name

 

[000Ronald]

I think someone else on here uses Soren as their avatar; I don't mind though. Should I?

Apologies for the confusion.
