So what's your guys' feelings on using your real name/photo as a UN. I never put any thought in it until this morning, kinda opened my eyes a bit and realized not very many people do on BHW .

Opinions?

Thread moved to the BlackHat Lounge, and to answer your question, it is never a good idea to use your real name and photo on forums of any kind.

Unfortunately, you can only get your username changed if you are a Premium member or a Jr. VIP.

Its not good idea to use your real information on any public forums, not just BHW.

Actually, it is not usually possible to have your user name changed unless you are a Jr. VIP. However, you are welcome to contact Apricot and explain your situation. I cannot guarantee that she will comply with your wish though.

Good Luck!

better not to use your real ID or anything that can easily be traced back to you.
