How many MN 'personas' have you ever had?

229 replies

Norty · 03/05/2005 22:28

There's a another thread talking about how easily people can be deceptive on chat rooms, however most people seem to be saying "oh, but I think I'd spot someone fake", or "but I haven't the time/energy for multiple posts"

It got me wondering, "How many MN personas have people ever had".In other words, how many different MN nicknames have you EVER used?

My personal score is probably well towards 20 - over 5 years... some most regularly, some occasionally, and a few only once....

FLUM who?

WideWebWitch · 04/05/2005 20:36

Oh well I'm glad you owned up norty! Oh, I'm not sure what I think about multiple name changes. I don't like the idea of being limited but I think it's ok to out people if they only name change to post nasty stuff. Tinks, love the idea of a vote on it every time, car crash forum, yay!

zebraX · 04/05/2005 20:54

So are Soupie & Cod the same person?
Or am I the only one who is very very very confused...

Janh · 04/05/2005 20:55

no, don't panic, zeb - soupie was some variant of "codswallop" once (codswallap?) just to be confusing. They are different people, honest!

Fio2 · 04/05/2005 21:01
