Thanking you in advance

Wow, am I cute! The extra long legs are built-in prevention against ducks disease. Great looks and a real goer. Doesnt waddle along like some.

Wondered when the long legged one would re-emerge.

Gee, who did your window tinting? Looks a bit darker than legal!

Maybe you needed the dark lenses after the last picture of an antarctic white out!

if you are a regular contributor then stump up the cash and join as a member (it only costs $1.00 a week). Then you can have a rig pic and a tag line. That way your posts will be a bit more personalised and recognisable so we can tell the real you.

So why dont you help contribute to the help the survival of the site by becoming a member to protect your name ?."if you use it pay for it"

Guys,

I have a duplicate check process on the site already - this was requested about 6 months ago. rouble is that it cannot check for every variation of the screen name so some can come close by adding a space or changing from ThePublican to APublican or The Publican. They cannot be ThePublican as this would trigger the duplicate check process.

Also how about everyone tell me about these issues when they appear and I can take whatever action I can to resolve it. It is a little unfair to come to the system in the morning and have people going off about an issue that I have not had raised with me.

BTW: The issue last week with had nothing to do with someone stealing an identity it had to do with the person changing there identity for every post they lodged. I think - I cannot even remember who was who and I have the ability to know.

I can fix it if I am told.Regards

For my 2 cents worth. First paid up "member" should get preference.Here's Mud in your Tyre

Hi David
If we can go back a bit in time hardly anyone had a (State, town etc ) with there name, it's no different to being a "John" there is lots of them, I have been " Bushie" for about 20 years but don't use it much as there is 100 s of us.

My 2 cents worth

Have just read with interest the name v/s same name saga.
What has me stunned is that anyone who uses this site and gets the fun and good advice from it isn’t more than willing to pay $1 a WEEK to become a member.
When I first made a post I fully expected to have to come on site and check for replies, I was really surprised to find the reply came direct to me ! Does every reply do this, it must be a mind boggling amount of traffic. Do you all realise there must be a cost to Exploroz to do this. On a business web site each submit enquiry can cost a $1 per hit to forward.
What we are talking about here per week is about the value one quarter of a can of beer from a bar, two or three mouthfuls ????
I can’t believe that David has already gone to the lengths he has to avoid this happening when from what I gather people confusion could apparently have been avoided by becoming a member and getting the pic and tag line.
You can all yell at me now if you like but do some of you realise what a great & fun site you are able to use here for free. Personally I think there should be a month free trial then become a member or don’t use the forum. If you can afford a 4 WD and a computer to be on here, then surely the cost of $1 per week can’t be a problem ?
You don’t get nuthin for free nowadays, love it while it lasts.

cheers,Anne

Well put Anne
