Earl Bathurst Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 With my visit to Warley last Saturday I was wondering as I walked around the show I thought how many of the people I see here are members on here. And how nice it is also to put a face to a name. Does anyone else ever get this. I just like to know what people look like sometimes when you chat to them on here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yes. I quite often meet people who say that they are a member of RM web. Perhaps, when we go to shows, we should wear a name badge with our user name on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Couldn't agree more! I have a badge which hangs round my neck and if my forgettery had not been on such good form I would have remembered to take it with me on Sunday. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve22 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I like the idea of posting a picture - only problem is I'd like to wash my hair so I look my best. Oh yes, that and lose several stone first! Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 23, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2011 Some of us sad ghytts actually put our mugshot on here - and our date of birth and location in our profile. I do wonder what so many of you have to hide..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I've put my date of birth on my profile but am yet to receive a present! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike morley Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I suppose it must confirm both sides to the point Earl Bathurst was making in his opening posting that on Sunday at the NEC I recognised Chris F from the mugshot attached to his profile, but didnt feel it was worth greeting him as the lack of one attached to mine meant he wouldnt have had the slightest idea who I was.

trisonic Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm not embarrassed (not much, anyway): That's a fairly recent photo of me (on the left) with the late Barry Webber of Antiques Roadshow (USA) who was my best pal in the 'States. One of the Guitar Forums I'm a member of linked up with a T-Shirt company for them to produce an agreed Forum T-Shirt, handle the orders and fulfillment to members. In fact the Forum Admin once he'd done the deal just collected a small royalty on every sale. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sheep Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 So pete is suggesting that at the next big exhibition we all wear rmweb t-shirts, I guess it would result in two things happening: 1) More members to the forum which will bring good modellers to add to the wealth of knowledge and advice and less experienced modellers who can benefit from the above. 2) The local pub looking like it's been invaded by a secret organisation in navy blue T-shirts I'll be the one at the bar drinking Black Sheep (or Spitfire if south) and eating a burger.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 23, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2011 So for those who have a pseudonym, would you put that or your real name on the badge? Guilty of a pseudonym, but not exactly one I can hide behind........... Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have a general policy to not put up mugshots on any site that I cannot set my privacy levels. However at the next big event I'll happily come say hello and have a pint. rmweb shirts with a printed name on the front/back sounds good. I guess my psuedonym would have to be printed, but my real name would be revealed upon introductions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestPines Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 That is me in my current profile pic - but I'm not exactly recognisable in it. My Flickr one is more obviously me, though. I've been to meetups of internet people with name badges before, and you see an interesting variety: who uses their real name, who their screen name, who puts both, which one they put first in that case, what colour pen they use ... it's a psychological research study in the making!

Horsetan Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 To be honest, I prefer my alter-ego for the simple reason that he looks a lot better than me. Helps if you've got equally mad friends who do the same: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandman Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Probably why I choice the avatar name of Highlandman as well as being a named service to north of the border.
