The Name Change Thread

[Joe Redifer]

For some f*cked up reason, people just can't seem to keep their forum name the same.  a$$holes.  Anyway I am trying to figure out who is who.

I know that esteban (all lowercase for some reason) is Steve KKK and I'm 56% sure that Black Tiger is the old favorite Black_Tiger (more scientific research is necessary).

But who the hell are these other people?  People seem to know who The Old Rover is, but I have no f*ckin' clue.  There have been a few others as well that I have no clue who they are.  There needs to be a list and people need to post announcements when they get tired of their shitty forum name and change it to a new shitty one.  Try to think of something good the first time so you don't have to change it later and confuse me!

[Hobo Xiphas]

I used to be Xiphas

[Joe Redifer]

I wholeheartedly expect you to change it to Xiphas Extended Edition someday.

[Keranu]

I'm still waiting for Xiphas to change his name to TootTootTheriot.

TheOldRover is nodtveidt.

I used to be Keranu and I still am.

[Kitsunexus]

I've never changed my name and never will.

[ceti alpha]

I used to be ceti alpha VI, but then I blew up and became ceti alpha V by default. I was then reborn on the Genesis Planet and named ceti alpha.

Name changes are for insecure pussies, real men keep their original name no matter how stupid it is.

hahahahhaahhahaa.

Truer words were never spoken.

Anyway, I changed my name to esteban because that's what I wanted to use at pcefx, but back when the pcefx forums were hosted by some free service (I forget the name), some bastard was already using the name.

Yeah really, I haven't even changed my avatar because I feel like a piece of my identity would be lost.

Besides that, it bugs me when people change their avatar all the time. More often than not I don't even look at the name on the post, just the avatar.

For example, Kitsunexus's 34,567th avatar is currently too similar to SignOfZeta's. I know, not really when you actually look at them (b/w guy with a pipe, b/w guy with a gun) but they are similar enough that in a passing glance I keep thinking Kitsunexus is SignOfZeta. This misconception is usually quickly corrected once I reach the subject matter of the message, but still.

I wholeheartedly expect you to change it to Xiphas Extended Edition someday.

I'm personally holding out for Xiphas: The Director's Cut.

I've kept my same stupid name on Trekweb since I first joined in 2003. I didn't expect that I'd be a regular there or something and I just put down the first thing that came to me. Any other forum, including here, it's ceti alpha and always will be.

I still use the same AIM name for the past nine years - xXKeranuXx! You don't know how tempted I've been to change that.

[Arjak]

Huh!? Who are you people? What have you done to my friends!?

Seriously. My user name comes from the nickname of a character in a story I'm writing. I happen to be somewhat good, amateur-wise anyway.
