out of pure curiosity, since when did a piece of electronic text easily sent anywhere across the internet become able to be owned by any particular person

I don't know.  Now that you have registered on the forums with the name "Kami", why can't someone else register with the same name?

It's a completely baffling mystery, and one likely to remain forever unsolved by modern science.

that's built into the forums

if they didn't have registrations there'd be no reason why anyone wouldn't be able to use my name

why do you even care

a screen name on the internet becomes an identity, its like some one in real life stealing your face and going around pretending to be like you, and anyone around would be upset at that idea

I am sure there is other people on the internet some where with my screen name, but to the quake communities VaeVictis is my identity, it is how you know who i am when i talk, it is how you know who i am when i play

It isnt against any law, but if you want to go around wearing some one elses screen name, you are pretty pathetic because no matter how much you might dislike some one on the internet, stealing their online identity is just not cool

simple enough?
