One more off topic post if you don't mind, just because I think this is kind of a big deal.

It's been 2 days and nothing has been done about it. Is there anything I can do? People trying to take credit for my 'gaming achievements' is one thing, but someone pretending to be me on another website...ugh.
I'm not sure what MGS is but you really can't assume no one will have your username on other websites. Are they impersonating you, like using the exact icons you use here and claiming they're the Nijsse from Newgrounds? Because if they're not, no harm no foul.
Just about every username I've ever used on any website or forum has been used by others *somewhere* on the Internet, most likely from pure coincidence. I know I've never copied anyone's handle and yet, there it is -- I'll find someone else has been using some handle of mine prior to my use on occasion although more often the reverse is true. Oh well. It's totally possible.
You really just have to ignore it and just be very explicit in telling people exactly which accounts are yours and letting them know others aren't you. You can't stop it unless you proactively register first literally everywhere you might possibly be interested in. The logistics of that are ridiculous.
It's only a problem if they're saying "Hey I'm the Nijsse from Newgrounds!"
