This is why you should reserve old names on an alt if you ever want to go back to your old name (or prevent people from using it and soiling your name), thankfully I never had to learn that the hard way.
yeah unfortunately i had no alts at the time
what happened was i jokingly changed my name loving around on his server (keep in mind this wasnt planned and i changed it for like no more than 2 minutes) so he had to have had one of his alts online and he snatched it all in those 2 minutes and kept it for like an entire year.
How i know he tried blackmailing me was that people always said “Khaz is an idiot” “Khaz is a known troll” “I dont really like Khaz”. I mean I did stupid stuff back then but not to the point where I’d get comments like that about me that often lol. He had to have been using my name doing something.
Whats rich is that he tried using this against me when i applied for Cohort but everyone knew he was full of stuff especially when i told them how he stole my name. Lesson is: Dont change a name you want to keep unless you can keep it safe on an alt.
