It's probably just name, location, and interest matching. Especially if you have a fairly uncommon name.

- saraid216 13y agoIt's using a different name; I don't think I have a location set; and the only similar interest would be League of Legends, since I created the account initially just to get the free promo. The only thing I can think of is that it's matching IP addresses and concluding my two accounts are the same account.

- saraid216 13y agoDifferent browser, too. :P On the other hand, I'm not sure how well separated I kept those, so it could have been cookies linking the accounts. (I did this way back in 2010, so my memory is fuzzy.)
- jtbigwoo 13y agoNow that's fascinating. Matching an IP address is a different thing than using information that a user has shared explicitly.
