    Just wait until one of the fuckup admins there see this then. You can't even reason with them. The one that banned me (because of the same nick here and there) even had the nerve to offer me an invite to join again if I deleted my account here.

    I use same nick here and some other private trackers and didnt had much problem accept that one incidence with SCC but its better if you have different nicks as some tracker staff are plain idiots who think everyone is lunatic like them

    I thought about changing my nick here to my preferred nick on sites, but after that x264 incident, no way even if I am sure none of the top sites will do this.

    It's simply creating unnecessary headaches doing so.

    I usually have the same nick cause I can't remember the passwords let alone the user names . I format a lot to try different XP configs so its easier to use the same one .

    never had that problem

    but it would suck to see someone walk around with my nick

    coz i would have to share w/e reputation he generates using my nick

    beside, if u use same nick, you can just get banned simply because a staffer noticed u are FST member , based on rumor or even worst for absolutely nothing

    Meanwhile, say someone hates u from FST and notices u over some other tracker....he will always have something bad to say about u...and the sucking part is u dunno who is he coz he is using different nick over there


    The best part of using same nick is over closed community. When u are new, u get bunch of welcome pms from friends which is sexay

    i've thought about it, but i've read about many who had their accounts disabled at some trackers just because they were members in FST (people I trust, like Blue_Skies, so I know they're not making it up).

    And as Blue_Skies says: "It's simply creating unnecessary headaches doing so"
    This is just like that drug trip I saw in that movie while I was on that drug trip.

    i have a few nicks thats similar but wouldnt want to use the same nick everywhere. not because i have something to hide as i dont, but that i dont want people to know how much i download etc.
