What's your true identity?

[Rob Monster]

Yesterday, I noticed that the user formerly known as AGAME is now @AnthonyD. That is actually his real name and from what I do know about him he is a class act.

I have also gotten to know many folks in real-life outside of NamePros. There are some awesome people in this community. However, lots of folks here have fake names that look real!

After seeing his username switch,I was discussing it with @AnthonyD. We agreed it is time to invite folks who are hiding behind their avatars to come out of the shadows and engage with their real persona.

So, what are some of the objections?

1. I am afraid someone will come to my house and steal my domains at gunpoint or hurt me. Unlikely. scenario The downside is that when you want to sell a domain, buyers have to work twice as hard to complete due diligence about you. Besides, when domains go missing, they are pretty easy to track down!

2. I am afraid that someone might judge me for owning a particular domain. Well, if you own a domain name that your mother would not have you own, consider not owning it. Problem solved. If folks want, we can do a "purge day" and have commission-free sales for domains.

3. I have a day job and my boss might not appreciate my side hustle. If your boss is in the domain industry, he/she should want you on NamePros. If your boss is not a domainer, he/she might actually appreciate your hidden talent. For example, your boss might not help buying a domain.

There might be other objections, but set those aside as I can almost guarantee you that they are mostly irrational fears. In the meantime, in my experience, your ability to succeed on NamePros can be greatly amplified by being authentic. More commentary on that here.

So, if you are ready to come out of your digital closet, here is your chance. Change your User-Handle and re-introduce yourself as the real you. The longer you wait, the less time for the rest of us to know the real you!

So, who's next?

how come, you think you may reveal real names on namepros whenever you like, Rob
just because they are a customer of epik and you happen to know them?

I regard that as a severe break of confidentiality aka privacy

Actually, @AnthonyD was the one who inspired the thread. He actually helped write the OP of this thread as I shared him a draft for comment before posting.

I believe that abstract thought is the foundation for scientific progress as it points the way to where new knowledge and understandings of our Universe could be found.

I was sitting on my porch the other night and looking at the stars in the sky, as I was looking around I also noticed a lone bright sign on the ground for a store far away from where I was sitting that was shinning in the dark of the night like a star too.

At that moment it occurred to me that if I thought of myself as a star too, I found it hard to believe that I could have such great gravitational effect on another star that in this case was being represented by the store sign in the far away distance.

Considering the very small sizes of the stars relative to the astronomical distances that is between them it dawned on me that perhaps the gravitational pull of the stars (and other astronomical bodies) is not being projected in a sphere all around them like we all think, but rather is channelized through a direct link between them, perhaps being carried in a tether like bands made of dark matter or dark energy that exist in the empty spaces between the stars.

Now you might wonder what this has to do with domains and domaining, but if you train your mind to dwell in abstract thoughts you might be surprised to see that by exercising your brain you might gain the ability to think of some better domains to hand register.

IMO

we all originally come from stars.......maybe you were subconsciously connecting with your molecular roots

Google "we all come from stars"
