TWO Creamy's Wonderlands? Wha- wha- what???
polycounter lvl 18
> This morning, I went to my website by using Google to search for "Creamy's Wonderland". I used to get only two hits from a search like this, both from my site. But this time, I got a third result, and when I clicked it just out of curiousity, it was another site that just happened to be called Creamy's Wonderland( http://freehost03.websamba.com/creamy/ )! When I changed the name of my site from IWOW nearly two years ago, I wanted to pick a unique name that I was sure that was highly unlikely to be used elsewhere. I even did a Google search to make sure noone had that name, and since my search turned up nothing, I went ahead with that name.
> Just for fun, I looked up names of other Polycount cottages on Google. A lot of our cottages had unique names, but I did find at least three qbranches other than the Polycount cottage...
1> http://www.qbranch.se - A Swedish system managment consultancy site
2> http://www.hmss.com/qbranch/qb0101.htm - James McMahon's site about James Bond's handguns
3> http://www.qbranch.co.uk/qbranch/HTML/Q%20Intro.htm - Art content supply and games development
> I'm sure that a lot of us have sites outside of Polycount, but how common is it to share a supposedly unique name with someone else?

anyway basically if you can think of it someone else can too. creamy's wonderland isn't so super unique that someone else couldn't think of it either.
(Seriously.)
The next time i went to show it to some doctor there was this mix up because apparently some other kid had broken his arm too and he had the same name as me, the same birthday as me and hes father had the same first name as my father. Thankfully my father has a middle name aswell so it got resolved.
ah, n/m just noticed youre from estonia. Things are probably different there.
THIS POST WAS USELESS
> I don't have anything against someone else having a site with the same name as mine. It's just that I'm surprised the my site's name isn't as unique as I thought it was.
hawken> What's an NI number? Is that like the European version of a Social Security number or something?

> Alright dude, what the FUCK is your problem? I had never heard of an NI number until Hawken just mentioned it, so I asked what it was. That's it. And then you come at me from left field with this bullshit about "you think Europe is just like America, bleh bleh bleh." And yeah, you go ahead and try to pet me and I'll make sure you never see your fucking hand again, you arrogant piece of shit. Suck my motherfucking dick. .I.. ..I.
> Oh yeah, and one more thing...
