I was just thinking about this.

In my profile, it says that I was formerly known as StriderX284. That's true, of course, but I was also known as El Mariachi for a while before changing my name to what it is now.

How do we determine which names to put under the "Formerly" column? Just wondering.

It depends whether or not the admin you ask to change your sn is lazy. :p

Pretty much. I never updated it.

Just PM an admin to get the field changed.

It's a very important thing, too, you know. Most people don't know who some people are before they change their name, like me, for example.

Citizen Bleys
02-20-2005, 08:38 PM
Yeah, I was totally lost when you changed your name from Sugpo.

A lot of the time it doesn't get updated. Who did Matthew or Lucky Charms used to be?

*sigh* Strider, you have no idea how many times I've asked these lazy Admins to fill in that field. Now, if I were Admin and was in charge of all name changes, this, of course, would not be a problem. :)

but there would be a bigger problem. namely, Leeza being admin. :)

One admin who thinks she's everybody's mom is enough. Especially since you've gotten rid of the admin who thought he was everybody's drunken uncle. You have to have a bad influence to counter that wholesome garbage, and Unne's not sarcastic enough anymore.

I don't count three attempts at humor by any one person so far in this thread.

Nah, what Del Murder said was pretty funny. :p

I agree that the formerly field needs to be filled out more often. It's very confusing when you leave a forum for a long period of time and come back to find out that half the people have changed their names. Of course, this wouldn't be a problem if people just stopped changing their name. I have rarely seen a time when a person's new name is better than their original.

Nah, what Del Murder said was pretty funny. lol yeah! His "BAoTW suck their thread annoys me!!!!11" routine sure hasn't gotten old after the first 10,000 performances! Gets me every time! Hopefully as an encore he will go with something more original, such as "Airplane food...what's up with that?" :rolleyes2

and yes, Baloki was removed from the baotw party memberlist.

Del Murder
02-21-2005, 03:17 AM
I don't think they suck, but I shall retire my baotw jokes from this moment on, like when David Letterman retired the Clinton jokes in a historic late night TV moment. A 1500 post thread about nothing is the Monica Lewinsky of message boards. Ok, that's the last one, I swear.

Vote elitist.

You have to have a bad influence to counter that wholesome garbage, and Unne's not sarcastic enough anymore.

Talk to Leeza about that. I'm under orders.

Lucky Charms was always Lucky Charms.

I gave orders? Then I rescind them then because your sarcasm can be priceless. :)

Eh? Baloki was banned? What did he do? I can't see him doing anything bannable.

Baloki took HOOTERS's route out for some reason.

Matthew used to be Heero Yuy. Then was Kenshin and God. Can't remember if I ever tried Kefka over here. Probably did once.

Matthew was God before HOORJ was God. It's a popular screenname, apparently.

Matthew

For those of us with massive egos.

Oh, and I got some funny PMs. One was from a member named Jesus titled, "Hi, Dad." And the others were hatemail from religious wackos.

EDIT: Apologies, that was insensitive of me. I should say mentally challenged people who happen to be very religious.
