Just a quick note to let people know that someone else registered as GeeWhiz before I did.

If you are looking for the old GeeWhiz, I am now G_Whiz.

Sorry for the confusion.

Wow, TFP identity theft. That's a new low.

Johnny Rotten · 04-19-2003, 07:44 PM

I'd put it in your .sig, if I were you

you might think a mod could fix that little problem ...

Who steals a posting tag? I mean, seriously, is it that important to pretend to be someone else in a place like this? Weird.

sapiens · 04-20-2003, 07:05 AM

It's conceivable that it is a new person who did not know that they were stealing someone else's posting tag.

G_Whiz · 04-20-2003, 04:15 PM

Hold on minute folks.

I never said the guy stole my username. He just happened to register it before I did.

I did PM him to warn him that he might get some interesting messages since I have used that name on TFP for over a year.

Am I happy about losing my username? No.
Would I like it back? Sure
Am I asking anyone to do anything about it? Nope

redrum · 04-20-2003, 04:21 PM

i figured with such a large communitiy I wouldnt get the name I did or that I would get it again. But hey, I guess Im lucky.

aarchaon · 03-19-2004, 04:46 AM

Commiserations G_Whiz, but I'm sure people won't take long to figure out who is who.

rockogre · 03-19-2004, 05:27 AM

I agree. I bet we can tell the difference.

Um... I'd say that in the 11 months since G_Whiz originally posted this, most of us have managed to put it together.

What would posess you to dig this deep into the past like this? G_Whiz created this thread immediately after the last TFP crash, in mid-April of 2003. Everybody was re-registering themselves, and evidently somebody beat him to the punch of his earlier name.

G_Whiz · 03-19-2004, 05:24 PM

ratbastid nailed it.

I really had forgotten about posting this. After having GeeWhiz as my username for over a 1000 posts, I wasn't too happy to find out that someone else took my name after the crash. Anyway, that was almost a year ago. Everyone has figured out what my new name is by now.
