RE: why ???????????????????????

There is no telling if the name someone gives is genuine, so why bother.

The funny part about this is whenever I get together with people that I have met here it's always "hey Jersey!"

Each side of this island has its own discussion forum. Konaweb's policy is first-name-&-initial as a handle. Punaweb's custom is "handles". There's no real question of anonymity here - the place is small enough that ya can kinda figure who is who. I'm sure population and moderation differences have something to do with it, but I do believe the name / handle policy helps set the style: Konaweb is utterly civil; Punaweb has its share of trolls.

Sorry ruhl, it just seemed a little unusual to me.

I don't know how I got to this old post but I suspect quite a few people registered with 'handles'like me because of being a little wary of what the site would be like. Actually mine is a nickname several mates would recognise me by. I think its better to do that than set your profile to private? Whenever I post, chances are I'll sign it Stu and once someone gets to know me they get the full personal info - email, Skype, phone etc

are people so afraid to post their real first name, I mean geezzzzzz I would like to call some one Bill or Jane instead of nudistinheat, or outinthesun, I mean you don't go a resort and introduce yourself that way, do you ? I mean that doesn't give your identity away , I mean like bill8, or bill88, or so on . does anyone have an opinion one way or the other, I mean even if jane, mary, fred is not your first name I still think it would be better than some on hereI am a singer and producer by trade, so for me, it's hard to join a site without google bots placing personal web uses in the search results. Recently, Badoo and dating sites starting popping into my search results due to me using my name so now, I am very careful about what I join and where I put my name. So, coming back to second comment on here, some people live divided lives and try to keep it low key!You must have a very strange FIRST name if all your associates and/or fans would recognize you here.
