Bad AK User Names selected by newbies

[Snade]

Have you noticed a lot of guys are picking names like this when they sign up to AK:

KK3456

****GG...

WUMP777b
​

Ok, I'm making these up, but when people pick names like this, there is no handle to address them when you respond.

If you have a good name like Zenith_Fan or Jimmy012, then I can post a reply that says "Hey Jimmy, nice score".

But when their name is "ZB***897", I've got like no name to use.

Do we need to coach newbies on selecting good user names ?

Just askin. Cheers, Snade

By the way, "Snade" was my favorite uncle's nickname.

So, what are 'ya sayin'?

 

[kcollins4]

I don't think he meant you,...um...Hog.

 

[Scorpion8]

I agree, but once they've joined it's either too late or a hassle, .... or there should be a memo next to the "select your username" field on the sign up page. besides it's much nicer addressing "Hog" and getting away with it than addressing JCFGB77B ....

 

[BruceRPA]

That would be MISTER Hog! But then again, I have been called far worse!

 

[clydeselsor]

Maybe they could at least put their first name (or nick name) in their signature....

Didn't see "Mr." in the user name. What are ya, a Hog? :yes:

 

[merrylander]

Nah, he rides them.

 

[Scorpion8]

That's cool, and fitting.

Was Snade his first name? Cool name. Maybe I'll change mine and start DJing on the local jazz station....

My Uncle Jim was called Snade as a young man by everyone in his southside Chicago neighborhood in the early 1940's. He was a great card player and the name was probably a twist on the word snide.

In trying to get back to the subject of this thread, I have noticed this trend and I too find it hard to get my brain around a series of numbers and letters. Echowars I can remember, jb4555555555tsl I can not remember. Come on guys give us something to remember you by.
