    Why not put your name on your profile

    Most of us are here because we love Tech. Why not put your names in your profiles so people know who you are. Some of you might be college classmates you haven't talked to in ages (well minus talking behind screen names or alter egos).

    Is it because you want to feel like a real man and talk smack you wouldn't back up in person? Do you use language here that you wouldn't want people that REALLY know you to hear?

    I would love to hear it from you folks who are the most vocal about why you hide.

    When I first registered on the board, I didn't think about putting my name in my profile. Done.

    Re: Why not put your name on your profile

    I think it mostly comes down to how the Net has evolved since this board's inception.

    I signed up for BB&B in '97, but I am not sure of it's exact "date of birth". At that time, all "bulletin board" sites, as they were known, had users with screen names or "handles", and BB&B went along with the trend.

    Since then, other sites like Facebook and other sites have people using their real names, and most of the "handle" sites have gone under.

    I guess you could just say we are old fashioned. I have always had my real name in my user profile, but I've never thought about changing my screen name.

    I have wondered this same thing myself many times.

    I have always had my name in my profile, I don't mind if people know who I am - it keeps me honest.

    Re: Why not put your name on your profile

    I agree 100%. I keep looking at profiles to see if the poster might be someone I know from my Tech days. I can not believe how few people have their names listed, or the year they graduated, or their major. When I joined the board I listed all that stuff because I was hoping to connect with some old friends.

    I did the opposite and removed mine. hah. Plenty of people know who I am, though.

    There are reasons not to list it but I won't type them here.
