Another one was under the username of Bittersweet (no, it's not bittersweet rebel) and someone sugggested being Bittersweet Blood and I'm sitting there thinking "I swear if you call yourself Bittersweet Blood, I will try to have you banned". I know it's a free country, but this is ridiculous!


Yes, I saw that. Talk about originallity. But they have been banned for inpersonating and, if not doubble accounts. But it is stupid, out of millions of names you just HAVE to have somthing thats already been taken. -_- Names won't make you any more "popular" espechily if you stole it.

When I joined, I was trying to think of a name and "Fire_Paw" popped into my head. I tried it. It hadn't been taken. So that was my name, and for some weird reason, I put 368 on the end, but deleted it after. And yes, that dose mean that my name had absolutly nothing to do with Warrior Cats.

Because of recent problems I am going to change my username.

Only problem is I have no idea of what to call myself and I want it to be original.

Well, now time has passed, my opinion has changed.

It should be okay only if the person who used to have that name has not had it for a long time, someone who has it left the site, left their account inactive etc etc.

Because from personal experience it is very hard to choose a name that isn't taken already.

I know this is along the topic of Member impersonaters, but Today we had a little Miley Cyrus poser on the SB.
It's wrong, but can't be stopped.
