If somebody wanted to change their username, it is as simple as sending a pm to yours truly, along with the desired change.
aw...don't get bent.
So far you'd have...
Snade
KC
Hog
Geek
clyde
x
Scorpion
and...Merry
hmm...I think I will stick to calling merrylander, Rob or just Sir.
Nice avatar, that's what I want for Christmas!
It just did. :screwy: Sorry LV. Have you noticed a lot of guys are picking names like this when they sign up to AK:
KK3456Ok, I'm making these up, but when people pick names like this, there is no handle to address them when you respond.
****GG...
WUMP777b
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.
Well, YOU can call me Ray, or YOU can call me Jay, but you doesn't has to call me "Johnson"...
Most people refer to me as x. And just as an FYi it is lower case folowed by a _ not a space. you would not belever how many times people refer to me as X 25. Also, story behind my handle is that it is my squadren number from when I playes X-wing vs. Tie fighter.
Thats my story and i'm sticking too it.
robots can still have easy to remember names:
robbie
bender
rosie
robocop
marvin
that robot dog off Battlestar Galctica
What....you want a new avatar for Christmas or OP's avatar. I'm confused.![]()
Anyway, back to the subject of this thread I identify a lot easier without the numbers for user ID's. But quite frankly it's funny how some of your user names get all scrambled in my head. For example, the first time I ran across Ernie's user name of Luvvinvinyl. For some reason my wacked out brain saw it as LuLuvinyl. Don't ask me how or why.It just did. :screwy: Sorry LV.
Has that ever happened to any of you with certain user names?
Seriously, it's a good thing you mentioned this... because to me, I know "x 25" as a computer wide area network protocol!
