What should we call each other?

• chewbecca Posted : 12/22/2006 8:22:52 PM I get confused with gender on these forums. I end up finding out that people I thought were women are really guys. I can usually remember names, but sometimes when I find out a person's gender, it BLOWS ME AWAY. DPU, no offense (just in case you take any), until this thread, I thought you were a woman. And I thought Twin was a boy for the longest time. That's why she uses pink font now.

• TAOofGoldyShep Posted : 12/22/2006 10:49:53 PM ORIGINAL: cairnterriers Well, I've been thinking, should we call each other by our usernames or first names?  It is hard for me to remember both. I figure if a member wants you to call them by their first name they will provide it in their signature, otherwise their username.  Even then, sometimes I still use the username...as that is what I'm used to.  I prefer my username, or a portion of, etc. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Mallory Posted : 12/22/2006 11:07:29 PM Mallory. I don't know whether most people are males or females. I think on this forum I tend to assume female until otherwise stated. At others I'll assume male at first. I think I base it on the content of the forum. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I end up finding out that people I thought were women are really guys.   Me, too!  No offense to anyone.  Sorry DPU, I thought you were female!  And after awhile you don't want to ask "Are you a guy, or a girl?" because it makes you feel stupid.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chewbecca Posted : 12/23/2006 8:35:57 AM ORIGINAL: Xeph DPU, no offense (just in case you take any), until this thread, I thought you were a woman. I thought the same thing Becca. I also thought mondayblues and Ed were women too xD And I thought sheprano was a dude. Mondayblues isn't a woman??? And, you know, I wonder if anyone has ever thought I was a boy on here. Some people don't make the connection of "chewbecca" and they simply think I misspelled "chewbacca". I think I assume more people are girls on here than boys, and I think it's because I can imagine more women sitting around chatting about their dogs as their babies, than I can imagine men doing that. I think one thing that also made me think Twin was a boy at first was BECAUSE she was always talking to Edie. Xeph, which "Ed" are you talking about? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• janetmichel3009 Posted : 12/23/2006 9:17:10 AM my name is Janet and you can call me that. or if you wish, you can type it out and use my username.. i never had a problem with people using real names when i first cam to this forum. in fact i have problems remembering names, (and long usernames are even harder) so i remember most people from their avatar and signature pic. i really doubt that most people who are new to the forum have problems with people using real names. i think there are bigger problems in this forum (and i have encountered them quite often), which i won't get into in this thread [].   ps: i have long given up trying to guess what gender people are. i remember them by their dogs [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• NicoleS Posted : 12/23/2006 9:21:12 AM What throws me for a loop for a little bit is when people change signatures or avatars........... like when Ron changed his avatar, it took me a bit to remember who it was.  I look more at the dogs to figure out who it is, and then at the username after that. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
