I'm seeing "VideoGameAddictz" where are you seeing the Alrod part? lol I see his username as Alrod but I see the channel name as VideoGameAddictz.[DOUBLEPOST=1392602008,1392601867][/DOUBLEPOST]
No it's not rude, it's kind of protecting your channel lol if you keep letting people use the same name then when you become successful people are just going to mislead others into thinking you're the same person or using the channel name to boost their success.
Ya I think that's what he means my channel is similar, my channel name due to my re-branding is Kdawg Creations but my URL is still /user/Goofballstudios (would love to get that fixed
) So I say do what you can, but for now this person seems to have both the username and ur.(Which might suck for you @Alrod360 if the problem of ours becomes fixable)A channel name can be quickly changed, a username cannot so if anything, the guy could ask him to change his channel name since he's able to do so.
Yeah that's even worse, I didn't realise the guy actually had the URL too.Ya I think that's what he means my channel is similar, my channel name due to my re-branding is Kdawg Creations but my URL is still /user/Goofballstudios (would love to get that fixed
Like I said, it's about protecting the channel lol He came up with the channel name first. The other user didn't do their research, that's their fault. What's the point of coming up with a channel name if everyone else is gonna use the same 1? I may as well call myself PewDiePie.
First off: It's Alrod, not Alrob
You know, some people just do this for fun, right? No need to treat this like a business and there is no research to be done. The guy liked the name, picked it and Alrod happened to do the same thing.
Sorry, that was my bad, kinda late. But again, you can't ask someone to change their channel name when you have proof that the guy copied you. You can go ahead and ask him, but if he doesn't cooperate, then he has all the right in the world to keep the name.
I understand. But if we can come to some kind of agreement, then I'm sure we can both walk away from this happy. If he says no, then I guess I'm going to have to deal with this.
The problem with that is what if you want to advertise your channel through other means ? I can't use a link on a T-shirt or a business card like most people, because my URL and name conflict.
Well, yeah that would be perfect. When I first saw your post I thought you were basically saying the guy had to automatically give up the name, but if you're willing to work with the guy to reach some kind of agreement, then more power to ya. Wish you luck.
