Well from experience your name will post likely only come up if you type Virtualteen next to it, but you could try and see what comes up. To avoid the problem you could just come up with a username no one would really guess and make sure you don't have any discriminating details about yourself up and then they won't be able to tell. Not only that nonmembers can't see profiles here :)

Probably not. I bing'd yours and Aaron's (Kaius), and neither of your guys' profiles came up. Though, it is still possible since yours is kind of different.

The more unique your username, the more likely it'll show up on Google. My username will probably just give you a lot of websites on herbs and cooking.

If you search my username, you get a variety of accounts on different sites that I've made, and you know it's me because my username is original. If you're going for privacy, that's probably the way to do it, using a username that's not obvious.

I stole mine off a spam email so don't look up mine because it will give you a virus
