ok hmmm. i didn't make a great start to the mn forums. i'm a guy who decided to make a username with a female name and post a thread asking about who had made friendships in real life from the group. ok not the brightest idea i had ever had as many people here thought i was using the forum to catfish. tbh in hindsight a totally understandable conclusion really, but as it is a forum where everyone is annonymous i never gave the username a thought and i said at the time i chose my old username based on the fact i would like the name if i ever had a dd. also the thread was perfectly innocent hindsight again. but to talk of the group in general, seen some great posts and some very supportive people use it something i think is testament to the admin that they are using this forum to help and be almost like a family. i know if i do have a family of my own this is a good forum to come to, ok yes bad eggs exist but they exist in every walk of life. keep doing what your doing and i look forwards to posting more with you. take care.

I'm sure everyone will be absolutely thrilled to have your permission to continue posting on a forum that's existed for twenty years.

It's likely that nobody would ever believe that you posted with a woman's name without giving it 'any thought' or because that was a name that you would give a daughter if you were ever to have one.

You need to start being more honest as otherwise you are in danger of sounding like a right twat.

This all rings a bell…

adam7485 · 30/08/2021 17:44

@harkeyquim. it is all true. i know the score now its simple. but as i said at the time with so many people using made up nemaes and usernames that is why i didn't really give it a thought at the time which i understand was a bad call in fareness.
