Generally, choose a new online name and ignore the imposter, they usually lose interest after some days. On Bugfarm, if you tell me your exact desired online name and your IP or IP range (www.whatismyip.com), I can protect it so it can be only used from your IP.

I suppose you go online with clan tags. Otherwise, I'm afraid just "speed" isn't really a protectible name. Especially not on Speed Blast :)

Because of the two of you, you're the sensible one. Because he/she feeds from your anger. Don't show any, and it'll stop.

Yeah, you know, after that stretch where I was playing under different names, my stalker has left me alone. Maybe he's just not around right now and will be back sometime, I don't know.

Not that I intend to keep using my regular name, I've just been too busy to worry about it. ;)

Maybe speed is just too common of a name, or is the “impostor” really pretending to be you — wearing your clan tags (if any), acting like you, etc…

I've never really had an impostor, but now-a-days I use a script that selects a random name and colors each time I start AA up.
