This seems like many of the people just moved over from the Magic Cafe with their same old pseudonyms. If this is to be a try social network, then I think everyone should use their real names.; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks for the feedback (Yes, believe it or not I actually do read all of the feedback!)...

You do bring up a valid point - and there are pros and cons to both sides of requiring a member to use their real name. Without getting into all of them here, the reality is that the social-network platform the Club is built on does not have such functionality. Even so, there is no way to verify a member's name is in fact theirs.

I actually started off using my stage name ROMM (Ryan Ogaard Magic & Mystery), but later changed to my actual name because I do want others to know me, the operator and owner, by my name - not my stage name. For others, they may wish to be known by a stage name, nick name, or other.

It is great having you as a member, Scott Wells (great name!), and I look forward to seeing more of you around the Club!

Sincerely,
Ryan Ogaard (aka ROMM), Owner

I do not know Ryan ,I am putting a serious 2 weeks in to try and bring it to the attention of the community. Please do what you can to help,like maybe mail the link to your friends.

Thank you for your reply and I am sure there are pros and cons to posting "real" names. And your premise that there is no way to verify real names, I think that's no problem. If someone wants to call themselves Derren Brown or Fred Kaps or Dai Vernon or whatever, and I wanted to add them because I "thought" I knew them based on the name they use, I could always later delete them as a friend when I found out they are not whom they presume or pretend to be. I could also keep them as "friends" if I thought they were genuine and sincere in their passion for our craft.

Anyway, just my penny's worth. It's still a nice site and has potential.

yours,
Scott; ▶ Reply to This
