I try to use people's Christian names if I know them and if they put them on the boards but with others who post under different names and don't use a Christian name I just use the board name.

I always sign off with my name and an x after it, bad habit as I now have to remember not to add the x on texts when it wouldn't be appropriate and emails too lol

Susan is my real name but prefer to be called just plain sue and usually sign off with that .

As AnnCardiff said
"I don't care what people call me as long as they talk to me!!!


Peggy Sue was my nickname when I was a tenager,that went by the wayside when I came to OZ in 1966.

Have a lovely day everyone <3

People new to boards have never heard of these made up names. They can be very confusing. It is like going to a formal ball where everyone wears a mask. Comus of the computer world.

I am glad TheBlackKnight has said his piece because I found his nomenclature the most confusing.

When I began he was 5EXY. Five - EXY. I genuinely thought it was SEXY and got told off by him for calling him SEXY. So we live and learn.

And still have no idea how he wants to be addressed. I use TBK, but that might offend too. And the poster who posts as OneFootintheGrave. He is OFITG, OFG. Who knows what he or she prefers?

And no one has addressed me yet by my preferred shortened board name :-S :-)

I don't care what people call me on the boards as long as it is not blatantly rude and offensive, being a Scotsman and also having managed a scaffolding company for many years, I was called several names, some amusing and some which I could not mention on here ;-)

Anyway my motto is:-

Sticks and stones may break my bones - But names will never harm me.

I have always called you bob I think Lady Scozz I call Scozz because that is what you were before. Liz I always use your name without the x. Sylvia I always call you be your name I think. Not often these days 2 Sylvias on one thread. sue, there are as many Sues/Susans as Anns I think but not usually all on a thread at the same time.

John, really? I thought all threads were about you. :-D


Ann who lives in gloucestershire :-D

I always think of you as "nice Ann". But would never write that as is might be upsetting to other Ann's - who are possibly just as nice.

i go by my boardname on here, altho many do know my real name, i choose not to be refered to by that on here, :-D

nameslessone Report 16 Aug 2013 14:39

I usually refer to people by their board name because I assumed that is what they wanted. I find it confusing in a long thread when trying to work out who is being referred to by their 'proper' name.

Any one who calls me names can go................. .

Everyone else can call me Names if they wish.

( NB Please take careful note of the capital letters!!!!!!!!!!!!)

S'ok Gertie Mersey as I said, there are quite a few who prefer to be incognito on here and that is fine. :-D

Names you shall be I always think Namelessone sounds so sad!!


I found it really confusing when I went onto Facebook and nobody was using GR board names, took me ages to work out who everyone was. :-D And anyone who I have contact with on facebook will know my full name, that is fine by me.

John I can be the opposite of nice when I am having a touchy day!!
