WTF: Someone is searching for my pictures

    So I am looking at logs of one of my oldest forums and I see in keyword logs as 'pictures of <my name>'

    I think its time to change my user name in the forum to something obscure.

    WTF!

    Unless you have a really uncommon name, the chances are quite high that you share it with a few hundred or thousand other people worldwide. Check out this site:
    http://www.yournotme.com/

    This only lists people on the UK electoral register, so probably only a fraction of the people who actually share your name will be listed, but it will give you some idea.

    Aren't you flattered that someone was searching for your pics? I think it's a sign that you're popular lol :D

    you would not be this serious if you have your pics on the internet for everyone to see like Shawn, Shoemoney, blah blah.. and mine. LOL

    so just let them sneaky. LOL except you have something to hide
