While browsing and answering forums, I saw quite a few TF2 related avatars and got me thinking about my reaction when some stranger on a different forum had the same avatar as me on a different website many years ago. I was not happy.

So my topic of discussion is have you seen someone with the EXACT same thing as you? Name? Avatar? Clothing?

There have been a few times that other users here have used the same avatar as me.
Thankfully, they changed them pretty quickly.
But until they did, goddamn it was awkward.

Yes.

There are a couple of variations of my classic Mario on this forum, and it would have been fine if I'd ever receive my copyright-money from them!

Oh well, I guess I'm by no means known around here enough to be associated by my avatar, or anything else for that matter.

I wonder who the first person was to get my preferred Hotmail address...and Spotify username.
On my old forum where avatars were picked from a select few several newbies took the same one as me, but actually my avatar on there (a picture of Batman) was fairly synonymous with my name, and said newbies usually changed it. Odd.

I haven't had anything stolen from me but then again I never really do a lot so...

Well, I couldn't have the username Greyfox105 on ebay because somebody else had it.
I was a bit miffed because of that.
but that is about it.
Can't think of any time when someone had my designation or avatar.

My first 2 Avatars were random bunnies I found on google, my second was a resized gif of Ayanami Rei being creepy, and then I tried my hand making my last two avatars, my current one being my second.

If someone stole my avatar then they've been working quickly to get it. I wouldn't think anyone would take this one though.

As for name, I'm fairly certain somebody had already taken 'Aby' on this site when I came here so I had to make it 'Aby_Z'

Not that I know of, but I'd probably just ignore it.

All of my avatars have been either made by me, or someone else made them for me, so I doubt anybody would have the same.

I have not been able to register on some places with my usual JRCB name. Hell, I was trying to register a blag, and guess what? JRCB was not taken, but reserved. Pricks.

Someone on youtube stole Tuddle.

And I can't get a facebook account because me, my mom and my dad all share
the same e-mail address. My mom has a facebook account using that e-mail.
So unless I get my own e-mail, I can't get a facebook account.

Nope, I've seen a few people with Bruce Campbell avatars, but I tend to befriend them immediately. I make my avatars myself, so there's probably not going to be a copy.

I do remember the day that new person decided to copy paste Sassafrass's avatar (which I made him) and everyone called him out for it.

EDIT: Oh fuck! I completely forgot about that Furburt2 guy. He stole my name and avatar and everything on my profile, even my IP address. He almost got me banned, because they thought it was an alt and I was already on suspension. I think it wasn't some random troll though, I think it was someone who really hates me on here.
You changed your avatar AGAIN!
OP not really most people dont copy me i cant think of anything recent.

Is that really that much of a problem? xD

And I'm ashamed to say that I stole that .gif avatar with a combine turning its head back and forth and used it on my school's forums. *whistles*

Well, my first avatar was Squirellman142(?), but he was awesome, so I just got a different one.

Pretty sure noone else has this one.
