you can have the same board name if you set it as your real name.


It is very confusing and l agree with eRRolsheep very bizarre. To use the same name is one thing but to then use the same avatar is creepy. Makes me very wary of the poster's motives.

I actually thought that it was now impossible to have the same Board name as anyone else??


I know people who have been told that they cannot have a name because it is in use ......................... when it was the name they had!

It could cause some confusion if she rejoins.
We will not know who we are talking to. :-S

Mersey you are quite right - if memory serves me correct you are not supposed to impersonate another person.
I wonder why anyone would want to do such a bizarre thing unless it was to do something that wasn't exactly "above board".
I am not referring to any one person in particular of course.

She still has her avatar up the same as the other Cupcakes...I thought it could be very confusing and also thought it was against GR rules....but I simply was not sure

Gins ................

she was indeed .............. and it was indeed her.

The post I found was from July last year ......... on one of the earlier threads re Brewer by George.

I thought Ozzie cupcakes had been posting within the last couple of months????

I think she has left GR, but....you may be confused with another member who seems to have taken her identity

I miss our Oz friend, she was a fab researcher

.......... what has happened to Ozzie 'cupcakes'???


Last night, I found something Helen had posted on a thread some months ago, and wanted to check with her, but she seems to have removed herself from the site ............

............. I cannot send a pm, although her posts are still on site, with all the associated information.
