Has anyone of us ever wanted to redo their "online life"?

I wish I could, I started thinking about this about a year ago when I had come to the realization that I had two accounts for an online game, used one account for my actual game log in and the other for the forum, why didn't I realize that both log ins were different you may ask? Simply I never really thought about my logs since I had the forum save them for it. Then I started digging around old scraps of paper I have laying around and found email addresses that I had created to test some games, sign up for a reward site, other various emails I don't even remember making that I can't even access any more.
Now, some may ask why don't you just start over with the "correct" logs for that game? I had thought about that, seeing as all I'd loose is the time that I've put into that character, since I never put any of my real money towards it and I'd be on the same server with the "friends" I had made.

I'd really just like to tidy up. (There's my OCD kicking in):-D

 

No.

Lots of history.

Virtually all of these are related to me. Except that silly online game one....

I remember searching for you once when you dropped out of site......can't remember which blew up first, my GPU or my monitor. :eek roflmao

 

No but I regret being less active before Oink went down :cry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oink's_Pink_Palace
It was a great repository of all kinds of music including many rare CDs and LPs that are no longer available and were ripped to flac or any other lossless format. When I was first invited to join, I only had a crappy 56k dial up account at home and then when I finally got broadband in my area it came with a very small download limit so I mostly used the connection for work. I probably could have been more active on Oink for two years but was too caught up with long hours at work The boat has sailed and I missed it :cry

I now only have six email addresses and they are two anonymous ones rolleyes and two for work and two private ones :cool As I get older it makes things much easier to remember LOL I keep a spreadsheet with over 60 site logins and passwords plus the authenticating question and answer as well as about 20 email accounts that are no longer used or I can't remember why I had them :confused so yes Spock you do have to rationalise things and clear away the clutter and in a way it is deleting your past

As I get older my new mantra is less is more
Soon I hope to do everything with nothing LOL

 

Hahahaha!

 

Nope. Do an on-lie search for the Phantom and about all you get is my name-sake, (the comic-book guy), ghost stories, and a heap of Rolls-Royce ads and articles. roflmao.
Search for my real name, if you know it, and none of the hits are me.

 

It's never occurred to me to worry about my online life, to be honest. The screen name I use here is my secondary, but if you search my primary you come up with some ungodly number of posts from various websites I've worked for as well as a couple of cooking sites to which I contribute original recipes. I'm good with all of that.

 

Partially, yea, I do. I was kind of naive when I first started out on the internet. I got an email the other day from a website (similar to myspace) I joined many, many moons ago stating someone had "checked out my page". I had totally and completely forgotten about this site so I went back and saw I had posted all this info and numerous (horrible looking) pictures. After a quick password recovery, I deleted all the pictures, info and closed the account. :-D


I never use the same screen name, so I don't know how many more "sites" are floating around with my info on them. :confused

 

I feel the same, I wasn't as... I'll say professional when I first started my online identity, would really like to delete a few accounts various places, but can't.

I tend to, if I can use my screen name (Spock96) with all things, aside from game IDs, so if by chance you see my screen name from here floating around the internet, there's a 98-99% chance that it's me. I like uniformity.

 

I would have preferred to only use my other one (Felix4067), but a hundred years ago when I worked for a site that has since disappeared, it was frowned upon if we joined other tech sites, so I had to be incognito. Stupid internet politics. rolleyes

But I can guarantee if you see Felix4067 somewhere, that's me. Unless someone somehow randomly happened upon how I put it together, which is highly unlikely. More likely would be that someone was pretending to be me, but I honestly can't see why they would. LOL (I lied. There's a twitter feed in some other language that is decidedly NOT me. )

 

I've hung out with Gman863. Dude is very cool, and very knowledgeable.

 

I did, but with a different name, had this one for quite a few years now. So it's a little different because it wasn't for organisational purposes, I went stealth :-D

 

Woops. Posted in the wrong thread like a moron.
Not unusual for me. Mod may remove plz. :-o
