What comes up when you search for your user name?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Whenever I do an advanced search on this board and am looking for threads where I’ve posted, I get a dropdown list of similar user names. Tdngflge always comes up as an option. Apparently this is a Doper who has never posted anything.

Who comes up for you?

Wheel
Wheel Nut
WHEELER
wheelerguy
wheelie
Wheeljack
WHEELLACER
wheelman
wheelnut53
Wheel_of_Ixion

I’ve seen Wheeljack around here, but don’t recognize any of the others.

I get gilesjuk, who has posted just once, in 2003.

4

I don’t see any such drop down menu. Where is it on the page? Or perhaps there are no similar names, so therefore, no drop down menu?

5

Search/Advanced Searh/Search for user name.

In the textbox, when I type my name, I get a menu with two names on it, obscuring the dropdown right below it.

Try typing in tdn to see what I mean.

6

I’ve been cloned?!?! There’s a Twoflower2 that hasn’t posted.

7

Yup, I see it now. I guess there is no Simmerdown2, or Simmerdown-nah.

For ‘lobs’ I get

lobster
LobsterKaro
LobsterLass
lobstermobster
lobstrocity

For ‘lob’ I get

loba27
lobby
Lobelia Overhill
lobersa
lobert
loblolly
Loblolly37
Lobo
Lobo Rojo
lobo007
loboalbino
Lobohan
loboloco
Lobot
Lobotome
lobstrocity

As soon as I put the next ‘a’ (‘lobsa’) it narrows it down to just Lobsang.

It pops my username and nothing else. Which doesn’t surprise me. It kind of surprises me that tdn does get something.

10

Yeah, I think that Tdngflge probably just made up a keyboard mash username, and it’s just a very weird coincidence.

11

For Cong:

congee congo congodwarf

Once I add the o, it’s just me and good ol’ congo.

Add the d and I’m all alone.

12

A golf place. Odd.

13

I appear to have a bit of company here in the suburbs…

suburban refugee
Suburbanbanshee
Suburban Bliss
Suburban_Rythm

And to think I moved out here to get away from the crowds…

14

Nothing. My name’s too short for a search.

15

I’m the webmaster for a porn site, apparently.

Attackemu
Attackoflance
Attackofsteph

There are about 15 Digital’s…but only three Analog’s. I hear they’re going out of style anyway.

19

This was surprisingly interesting.

Using “msw” we have:

MSW the KliniK
mswart99
mswas
msweeney
mswseezer

unsurprisingly, I only have to get as far as kilv before it’s only moi.

But with [kil] it hits the apparent max of 15 IDs displayed, including three versions of kilgore trout
