As the previous posting has been pulled can I remind folk I have been the target of an imposter to-day and folk should not be fooled by him/her.

I'll be out the back getting a tan in the meantime.....

Hi corby,theres a corby on my thread (birthdays)How can you tell the difference,is it you or the Imposter?icemansav put the 2 together on another thread and they looked identical.Hang on in there Bud.And dont let that sun burn you( :)
well I think it was a good idea to pull the thread as (although it wasn't rocket science) other naughty types might not have twigged and I could foresee havoc at a future date!!
just checked, vinny100_2, the post has been pulled there too

well, i reiterate my suggestion of tweaking your user name in a certain way that I will not now spell out so this doesn't happen again....
I don't understand anything at all. Which post has been pulled, TCL? The "am I wrong?" one is still there and so is Vinny's birthday one. I understand nothing of nothing and it's very frustrating - excuse me while I go and throw a wobbly...........

Artful the post that had been pulled was the one warning there was a bogus THECORBYLOON.

corby i don't understand what your talking about! is their something differant in the spelling? nobody can have the same name on here. well if this is my friend corb tell me something that i would know that is between us! by the way this is allo! i've missed my buddy!
tricky... perhaps if you got a papal bull countersigned by HM the Queen and the AB Ed your old name could be deleted and a new user-friendly, imposter-unfriendly one could be inaugurated... meantime, we must all be careful about which corbyloons we respond to.

It looks as if the ABEd has taken care of the impostor - hopefully for good.  All the fake posts I spotted at lunchtime have gone and the THECORBYLOON on this thread is the real one.  As woofgang says, it is best not to specify how it was done for fear of encouraging others.  In the thread that was pulled I stated what was done in order to let you folks tell the real from the fake.  Now the fake has been expurgated, there is no further need for the description so I won't repeat it.

I believe it happened recently to vinny100, (and lillabet too I think).
Just be aware that it can happen again and stay alert.

SASHAGREEN  You're right about folk not being able to have the same names but the imposter spelt his/her name in such a way as to appear to be mines at first glance and that is why it was accepted but he/she has been stopped.

As for proving I am THE THECORBYLOON foos yir doos?

jno I didn't know the Pope was a part-time farmer....
I know where your coming from gen and I wont go into how they used my name!!Wolfgang its been taken off by the ED.But the real corby is on there now.Well done ED !!

What loser would BOTHER?  I mean, OBVIOUSLY we all secretly want to be TCL, but identity stealing is just SAD!
