Hey Folks,

So I opened a support ticket and got my warrior forum username changed from mohammad111 to my real name Mohammad Afaq.

Now I have a question for all of you who don't use their names on the forum. Why don't you do it?

EDIT: I'm just curious BTW,

    I can't because of my day job. If my employer knew what I was doing, it would be career limiting.

      Same here, though it is ALSO part of a company name, etc... Frankly, I COULD makke it harder to findout my real name. A number here know it and a few even met me PERSONALLY.

        Personal branding is for those who offer services, training and other things that require personal credibility. This, of course, makes it a business decision.

        For everyone else it has no meaning or worth at all. It just gives up more private info to the data gatherers and profilers.

        Some, obviously, simply don't care if their fly is zipped or not.

        My business model doesn't require branding. Enough know me as Lawrence. If money changes hands my surname will be used.

          Are you SURE!?!?!? Naw, I was talking about more, but there are a number of things to take into consideration. HECK, I am a consultant and some might not even consider it proper to be here.

              Nice move, congrats.

              I started in here with a Alias but soon after decided to change it to real name.

              People make good money selling to the rich. But the rich got rich selling to the masses.
