By right clicking on that person's IM and clicking on Stealth settings and then making yourself invisible. Just be sure not to delete them or else they will know you're online... (This will only make you invisible to that individual person)

Try to send them an IM. If it goes through, then it's a real screen name. If it says user not available, then it's not.

Well of course those names are gone... that would be the first to go.  \n\nFYI, yahoo does allow certain characters in email address now.  So you might want to see if you can come up with something unique with those options.

You just have to come up with a unique name and sign up to as many forums as you can at one time.  I've had my user name since nearly the start of the internet, so it's rare when I can't use it.  :)

Just go to "Options" and go to your "account information" and where it says name just put your initials  (usually they require something in that spot). That should work. That way no one will know who you are.  I have done this before and it worked fine!  The account info doesn't exactly have to be your full name!  Hope this helps!

Do not create a new account! Instead click on MY Q & A. Then click on edit nickname or name. I don't remember the exact wording but you should be able to figure it out from there.

Do you Yahoo!?  My friend walked me through the set-up and the hardest part was finding a name no one else had! I think it's still FREE  FREE  FREE!!  Happy Friday to All.

you could try using different sign on names

Try a search for their name, and likely variations, nicknames, etc.\n\nIf you know they're in a particular forum, like Yahoo, for instance, try searching the member database.\n\nIt may be, of course, that they just don't want to be found, in which case their information will not be public.

Do you have a profile that is set to public?  Try changing it to private, or so only people on your buddy list can see it.

Their fake usernnames. Their usually bots. I know in order use Buddy Spy you have to make a ghost name.  Mines always says I'm in idle. You can make them say different thing.

Yes if you get a maulti log in you can sign in more then one name if they are under different accounts! but not one that is on a account you already got logged on because then you will just kick yourself off line!
