Because I named my site, Jude's Place, so it made sense for the forum to be Jude's Forum. My site features my writing, and the forum is an extension of that.

That does make a lot of sense! I just don't typically see that, but that explains it. 🙂
Thank you!! 🙂
I’ve always tried to make a personal brands. So for that, I’ve always used my real name on forums, social, blogs, and websites.

For some reasons, I find it comfortable using my real name on some forums and a pseudo name on others. I think it just boils down to disposition at the time of registering.

I use my real name on the forums that I am on. I think it helps people that know me from other forums to be able to relate with me.
