Oh, we changed that too, the red pill now means you are a democrat, and the blue pill will turn you into a republican... So both will make you able to see how deep the hole is, just from two different perspectives, sort of as it is in the world today :laugh:

So I finally decided to use my real name today on Code Project after having used a handle for more than 5 years "gladiatron"! to be honest, when i first joined CodeProject I really didn't intend to use it quite that much except for one-off code-problems and I actually didn't for around 4 something years. Only since last year, I have been a more active member of CP helping with peoples' problems, posting questions, commenting in The Lounge etc...and with my first article debut on CP today, I thought it makes perfect sense to unmask the name and come out with my real name. I happen to think that using your real name (as many of the top guys here do) gives more credibility to your views and ideas. People often tend to look at handles as something of a non-serious time-killing joker. And I am nothing like that :). I feel, real names also engender an unspoken trust that the person participating in the community is not a sham and is serious. So there you go, I am Aman (trust me that is my name and yes I am a man as well, so my name perfectly re-affirms my gender ;) ) and pleased to meet you all again :) and I really hope to contribute even more in the coming days, weeks, months and years. Do share your experiences and views in this regard, I would be glad to hear them.

I not really using my real name, there are to many jealous husbands out there looking for me so I use the name of my worst enemy. He calls me every so often to tell me what an asshole I am and his wife and I laugh.

I doubt my real name is taken, my last name is rather rare. My first name is common though, and would probably get me mixed up with some other prominent members of the community. But I only use my real name or a username derived from it on official-ish things. I'm not really working hard to hide it though, you could find it if you wanted to. ;P

My real name is Harry Potter - but who would believe me? So I use Forogar Longstride in all but the most official documents (i.e. those that would get me arrested if I didn't use my real name).

Which pill makes you believe Ralph Nader is a viable candidate? I've always been a fan of denying reality.

I happen to use as close to my real name as I could get: all the variations I could find on Paul Griffin were taken by the time I signed up. So, I ended up with a handle. I don't think use of a real name gives any credibility - I think it is the quality of your posts that does that. I can think of people who use their real name who shouldn't be allowed near a computer, much less listened too...

As you have no credibility, I expected this of you.

When I first started coding I was a child, and then a teenager, and now an adult. Back then I hid behind a handle, and tried to remain as anonymous as possible. The stuff I was doing may have been illegal, some of it was definitely risky and stupid. When I transitioned to writing helpful applications instead of harmful (I didn't write too many viruses but my code harmed more people than it helped), in other words when I became an adult, I dropped the handle. Handles are good for normal kids though, so predators don't know their real names and whatnot, but as an adult I don't worry about things like that. Identity theft is the only threat that I've really thought about when using my real name. I agree with the credibility aspect, and the "time-killing joker" view on handles. I suppose if you were world famous and only known by your handle it would be okay to keep it, but for me personally, it was time to drop it.
