THE HORROR

[EmperorPenguin]

Well, not surprisingly there were several links relating to everybody's favourite animal, the emperor penguin.

But then I found this.  What scared the crap out of me is that this guy's from the same city as I am!  I have half a mind to find him and beat him up, stupid name-stealer.

And what tore me apart was that it wasn't until page 4 that I actually saw a reference to myself!  I'm not unique at all!

[Asal]

I found myself right away.  Other than a few german sites (no, I won't tell you whatt it means in german, because I didn't know what it meant when I made it).  It's more or less all about me.  How boring.

If I start getting associated with cows or agriculture some people in this thread are going to discover new and interesting ways to experience pain  <_<

[bacon_flaps]

Oh man did you guys see that "Geminosity Happy Bovine Institution" ?  They play fetch with cows and watch TV with them, and then, unsuspectingly, they knock the cows out dead.  Never see it coming.  GREAT PLACE!

[ANeM]

There are Anems aplenty, but only one ANeM.

Yes. That counts, considering there is a reason behind the capitalization.. and the fact that the full version of ANeM showed up zero results. I'm a beautiful and unique snowflake to the point where not even I have ruined the pristine beauty that is ANeM.

I shouldn't have any trouble then, I googled in "decaying organic matter" and came up with that site. I didn't realise that SwiftSpear had already been donned a knight of the round (flowery, happy and vibrant) table (old, revered and respected).

It's not quite that specific you jerk  :angry:

[Black Mage]

looking through my google hits, i found
this flash
this pic (which i do not mind being associated with
hehe

domains with blackmage in them: (these domains have been registered, some may be dead)
blackmage.com
blackmage.net
blackmage.org <-- i own that one ^^
blackmage.co.uk
blackmage.de
full(er) list

can't forget this which wins number 1 with the string "black mage"

both of the hits on "mageofdewm" are mine though (the second one is a hit on the forums that no longer exist ... sort of. click the sig for it. note: i don't run them, i only host them. beware)

@Swifty: Edited for your pleasure...
@Geminosity: Edited for your pleasure...

[Geminosity]

I've got a better idea crispy... how about you remove that post from that forum or i report that post to the moderators of the board you posted it on?

Are you normally a jerk like this or is this just a new phase you've started on?


edit: actually why stop there? Remove all 6 or I'll track them down and report each and every one and then proceed to make your net life hell at every available opportunity =D

[lolfighter]

How about we start behaving like grown-ups and drop this google sillyness before I lock this thread?

[Geminosity]

to get it a little more ontopic I wasn't always the only geminosity =o

Originally someone managed to find another geminosity a while after I had this name which surprised me because it never turned up on google when I was making sure nobody had the name and it still doesn't come up to this day.  Luckily the previous Gem stopped putting anything on the net about 3 years ago and doesn't seem to have been since.

It had nothing to do with me... honest ^^;

[Crispy]

You. scare me.

[Geminosity]

How about I scare you more?  The post on the Myst Hangout is still there and uneditted.  Do something about it before I do...

[sonic]

The hell? what did Crispy do?

[Geminosity]

He's put some random posts full of crud with my name on them on some forums and also making my name into a link to some stupid agriculture site in them; all for the purpose of trying to make google associate my name with it.

[Black Mage]

put it in your sig, nubcrisp.

[Crispy]

I didn't want to go overboard, just test out the effectiveness of putting it in certain places. As such I didn't merit it worthy of dispacing my NS-related Haiku. Adding it (or due to Gem's lashback, some other link) to a sig was going to be test #2 in my Googlewacking research.

Just checked the link you posted... well now I'll have to edit that post too. Admit it BM, you're just as interested in my little experiment as I am. :rolleyes:

I may as well take this opportunity to apologise to Geminosity, it was never designed to be a personal attack and what's more a simple PM to me would have avoided this thread turning into what it has become.

Nevertheless I'm interested to gauge opinion on what we've seen, but taking Geminosity out of the equation so all complaints can be avoided. Do I have any ownership of my forum handle, and is so, to what extent? A name like Crispy could occur on many a board, so if someone does deliberately associate it with something (regardless of this something could be perceived by others), do I have a right to complain. Is there a difference if it was aimed at associating Crispy (John Doe from Idaho) with animal porn or associating "Crispy" (a product brandname) with happiness? Does Crispy045 on one forum have the same right as ::Crispy:: on another to complain? (if, indeed, either of them have that right).

Without evidence surely anyone could claim that they were associating a completely unrelated person, product or company with whatever they have been accused of associating the accusing person, product or company. Also although I only skim through the text that you have to acknowledge in your application before joining a forum, I can't say that I've noticed anywhere the statement referring to your acceptance or informing that your handle will become your legal property.

I'm not trying to deny that I did what I did, (I will say that there was no malicious intent), more to question what is right and what is wrong, what is legal or illegal in this area. I think it's raised an interesting discussion point.

Reporting a post because of a link to the cow site, and I thought you were better than that gem :p

[Reasa]

Yea Gem better be careful I hear employers now a days often Google their employees online handles and make hiring/promotion decisions based on what they find.
