So you're new to EoFF. Want to stay?

I like my name. It's threatening, it's in your face, it's edgy, it demands respect!

For some reason it makes me think of that theiving fox, Swiper, from Dora the Explorer.

[Cruise Control]

WTF

[Devourment]

i like my name....it makes no sense!

I think your name is wicked!

[-N-]

Having said that, people who change their names bug me a lot, too. If any newbie was just starting to get known by everyone and then they went and changed their name, they'd be shooting themselves in the social foot. Try to stick to one name. It's easier for everyone, really. I don't like name changes all that much.

What if you can't help it?

Yeah, sometimes, name changes are necessary to make more of a name for yourself.

If you have a typical Final Fantasy related newbie name that's similar to all the other Final Fantasy related newbie names used by your common newbies, a change of name will do you some justice. I could provide some examples that have been done, but that would be discriminating, and you get the idea of what I'm saying. Names like Master Cloud 006 or XxSEPHIROTHxX don't stand out, as changing into a different and unique name will.

Wanna be noticed? Don't be pg.

As I said, don't do it if you're just becoming known in the first place. Prime example of Dixie changing name, and I'm pretty sure half of those who knew Dixie had no clue of that change for months and just assumed she'd wandered off into obscurity - I know I did.

One name change is okay, I suppose, but I'm more talking about people who get known, change their name and then wonder why nobody knows who they are anymore. And often they do it consistently, too.

[Old Manus]

What if you changed your name to something that lots of people call you by, or a name with which they will know who you are?

[Loony BoB]

Oh, you guys can figure it out for yourself, you ding dongs.

[-N-]

I was more referring to unwanted name changes than anything else, you ding dongs.

*answers door*

[Polnareff]

(lol h8 u gaiz srsly)

Uhh....yes, I would like to stay here, so long as everyone gives me a Kupo Nut.



Oh, wait, I'm not a Moogle. Well then what the hell do creatures like me eat =/

[44 caliber]

I want to stay. Friend me. Now.

[The Anarchy Angel]

*befriends 44 caliber* happier now?

[Xander]

I believe it really doesn't matter. It's just a forum, do what you want here. Post about what interests you, have discussions, make friends if you want to, whatever. Don't do things just to get popular, if you're not being yourself what's the point? When I don't feel like posting I don't post.

Also people's names don't even matter that much, because some people stand out anyway. Look at Sephiroth1999AD, he has a FF character and numbers in his name, so what? Rye used to be RikkuYuna89, yet both of them were and still are respected members.

Just post sensibly, be friendly, and you'll go far.
