I was recently searching my own name (well old name actually, my last name has changed after a wierd turn of events) and I uncovered an amazing bit of my past..... I must have been like 6 then.... wow...

Extreme Insanity

The very last post on the bottom is mine.....

Wow, that's kinda cool.

If by cool you mean mind-blowingly wierd, then yes, I agree.

i don't see what u r talking about... O.o

Yes, I meant mind-blowingly wierd.


I thought it said that that was in '98, so you would have been 8 or 9, not 6.

aww that's kinda cute. in a wierd kinda way....

i admire your bravery for posting something like this, i probably would have been too embarassed...

That...is....a....weird.....site but yeah yu googled yourself?

i've done it. more than one person (me) has my first and last name, it scares me.

many people have my name... its creepy

edit:wait no never mind... not many do

I got like 350,000 results for my name, including one Canadian accapella singer.

Don't underestimate the effect of too much Warcraft 2 on a young mind.

I'm not excactly sure what that means...

This could never happen to me. I never wrote to any sites like that, as I've always been a cynic by nature. I stopped believing in Santa when I was four,(didn't stop me from playing along. Being good for toys isn't a bad deal) the tooth fairy when I was 3 (I liked the money though), and the Easter Bunny when I was 6. (Still liked the chocolate)

My name is very rare. There is one other faimily with my last name near me. They are my grandfather's (on my father's side) brother's family. He (my gandpa's brother) is dead now, but he had a wife and a daughter around my age. They (grandpa and his brother) stopped speaking yeats ago, and haven't spoken for more than 20 years. Besides these, there is one other family with my last name in the ENTIRE UNITED STATES. A lot of them are police chiefs and army sergeants and stuff. None of my family members can be googled. None of us have any trace that will show up in google or altavista. We are invisible, stalking in the shadows...

and then there is the Cia/Fbi/gov't/what-ever-else-is-out-there that can find you because they have everything....

They got nothing. Nah, they have our tax paying records, and vehicle law fine information. They can look, but they won't like what they find... MUAHAHAHAH! Nah, we're a fairly ordinary family at first look. If they dig deep enough though, they will be scared.

What's your last name?

Unfortunately, the reason there are no records of us is because I'm paranoid and deleted them. MUAHAHAHAHA! Nah, I don't disclose my last name over the internet. Bad idea. These are a forum that anyone can look through, and even if you needed to log on to see these posts, "wierdos" could still be some of those who have accounts. It's a bad idea for anyone to release their name over the internet, as you never know who's reading your information, but it's very bad for people like me, people with "unique" last names. Just my personal policy. I really am paranoid, but paranoia can be good, see?

Yes...good advice not to reveal your last name on the net. ...Especially if it´s unique.

See. Somebody agrees with me... I must be right! Just kidding. I'm always right even if people don't agree with me. (except when I'm not)

And back to the original topic, for me, for now, anyways.
It's kind of cool to find something about yourself online. I just searched my first and last name together, as a phrase on both google and altavista, and got nothing. Now, without itbeing a phrase, I get 402 on Google and 131 on Altavista.
I pick a random name of some of my friends, and:
1,840,000 on Altavista, 1,960,000 on Google
2,390,000 on Altavista, 1,640,000 on Google
And people don't know why I'm jealous of people with more common names. None of the responses on my name are even about me! Oh well, my history can't be looked up by curious people who can't mind their own business. Haha.

For my full name, I got 2 hits, but both were me, suggesting I'm essentially unique. Althought there's a republican senator with the same last name as me.

A Republican! I'm sorry for you.

And theres something wrong with republicans?

Anyways, my dads name comes up when I type my last name.

You know I really don't have a problem with disclosing my name over the net. If some physco is gonna track me down with just my name then he (or she) deserves a cookie and a bullet hole from my 9mm in his chest...

Well, nothing wrong with Republicans, necessarily, at least nothing wrong with Republicans that isn't wrong with Democrats as well. The differences between the two grow smaller every election, and not for the better. Politics is still a choice- A choice between two evils. And maybe a few not-as-evil choices who will never win, never stand a chance at winning. But mainly, it's just Republican's (evil) and Democrats. (just as evil, merely in a slightly different way) Anyone with good ideas, original ideas, or ideas that will work is drowned out by the two largest parties. And even if they do win, anything, be it presidencial elections, senatorial, representative, or even small town govenments, they can't do anything do to the rest of the government holding them down. My other problem with Republicans is that I am a very liberal person. And I'm not a Christian, so I have my own problems with Bush, who happens to be Republican.

I don't happen to own a gun, and neither does my mother, and my father owns one that he keeps in pieces, in his safe, with no bullets. Other than that, we also own one bb gun that doesn't have enough force to punch through thick paper from ten feet away. My dad's gun is a family heirloom, one of three. We're pretty nonviolent people, at least the sane one are. My brother beats people up for fun, but he doesn't have a gun because he's like eleven. My sister is also violent, and she's seven. Therefore, the "bullet in the chest from my nine millimeter" idea doesn't work for me. And even if I had a gun, I avoid conflict whenever possible, so I try to keep my name from going out on the net. I just don't do that kind of thing. Just a personal policy. Besides, I mentioned that I'm paranoid, right?

Great points, but however I must say lets not derail this topic. We actually have a place for this (grumble) and it was originally started by me...
