Changed my name on here because I discovered that if someone typed 'maccerpops' into Google they could find all of my posts.. an issue potentially for me as its my email/Instagram/Twitter name that my friends and family all know.. I like to have this site as something private for me!!
Just in case anyone was wondering why the identity change

Ah ok. I was getting very very confused. That explains it all. I like katiecake. xx
I just tried this and found same!!! That's not good is it!?? Not such a biggie for me as I don't really use this id for much else but still not a comforting thought. Don't blame you for changing KatieCake x
I just googled mine thinking that it would be sufficiently anonymous not to come up til like the 10th page or something, but I found my posts on the second page. I know people who spend lots of money and time on SEO to make sure their pages come high up on the search list, so why our posts on here come so high up I don't understand. I suppose I thought that this forum was only visible to those who had registered for it rather than the general public. Worrying.... The things I've posted on here I would have no problem saying face to face in a group, but are quite personal to be publicly available on the internet. I seriously doubt anyone randomly searching google would recognise me, but nonetheless it's upsetting. I thought this forum was a kind of, "what's said in this room stays in this room" deal.... Not sure what to feel now!
