Hey everyone.. I've been seeing a lot of unfamiliar names here, both old and new members. It seems that everyone thinks they can switch screen names and have everyone else intuit instantly who they used to be. I'm especially confused because of a few newbies who keep doing this, making it difficult to keep track of what i should be making fun of them, when they change their names three times in the space of a single thread.
Some people are easily recognizable by the remnants of their last member status line and sigs, but a lot of people are just confusing the hell out of me. The obvious ones I can deal with. UM=Ultra Magnus=U//Magnus=Ulcer Mongoose, and Malnurtured Snay obviously = Malnurured Snayer.
So everyone list your recent and not so recent handles...
for the record, I have been CaptainMike TheRealCaptainMike DietCaptainMike
and
D.O.L.P.H.

That's a good one.
I stay obvious. So.
Ulcer Mongoose sounds like Ultra Magnus, you can thank Coddman for that.

I am Matrix, and always will be Matrix. I used to be Crusader, but for some reason it never worked. But that was in early 00'. If you can remember Crusader, then you got to lay off Flare alittle bit.
I guess some people get bored with their names after awhile.
For this board there will always be one Matrix. One of each of you guys as well, though keep changing your names...

My current name is "TSN". Before that, I was "TSN". In the days before "Solarflare" lost its first two syllables, I was known as "TSN". Before that, at SFCR, people called me "TSN". And way back when I originally started posting at the UP Forum, I used the name "TSN".
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on May 27, 2002 09:36 AM:
Yeah, Tim's a bit of a bore. I doubt he knew when he first took the handle TSN that he was using the name of Canada's sports channel...

I sometimes think about reverting to one of the names I used to be known by (USS Coyote or The First One) but decided that on the whole I really couldn't be bothered one way or the other. The people whose opinions matter to me know who I am, and so do Tim and Frank. 8)
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on May 27, 2002 10:38 AM:
DEfiant,
I'd recommend against changing your name so much while you're still so new. If Lee changed his name, we'd all make the adjustment pretty quickly because we all know who Lee is.
Not everyone knows who you are. I know I was surprised to read that list ... I didn't know all of those people were you! Leave your name alone until September, then change it ... you'll have a better chance of us remembering you.

Defiant,
No one hates you. No one likes you, but that's not the same thing. Knock off the self-pity routine. Of course you're going to get teased and picked on -- you're a newbie! Leave your name alone, post, and you WILL be accepted. Heck, we accepted CaptainMike. And before that, I ran the gauntlet myself.
I don't remember getting this many opportunities to get my act in gear, though ...
I concur with Ultra Marksman ... for fuck's sake!
Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on May 27, 2002 01:06 PM:
Defiant, you've just got to learn how not to act so stupid when you're here. I mean, would you be doing the same thing when you're meeting other people for the first time, or for that matter, any time? Learn what's been going on here and see how we all behave. If you want to stay adapt, otherwise leave 'cause you'd be wasting people's time. At least Koy's slowly adapting. If you've got some specialty, contribute it. We recognize Lobo for his great drawings. So far, you're only recognized as being the village idiot. We're not going to change ourselves for one person. If you don't like it here, you're free to leave. No one is stopping you from doing that.
Finally, look in my profile for who I am and who I've been.

Becuase my neighbor is so damn stupid, whenever I come here I"m mad at the world or tired, so I am going to start a new, uh, account and start over. If only I could carry my 120 posts over... maybe that's a little too drastic. I know ! I'll change my name! Um, what could I change it too. Where's a beer when you need it? And besides, I don't have any gifts, I can't draw, I can't write, I can't participate in disussions because I alawys change the subject... there's got to be something I'm good at... no.

Posted by Matrix (Member # 376) on May 27, 2002 11:56 PM:
Defiant, you really do need to relax a bit and enjoy your say here. You cannot be so wel... hyoer about subjects. Everything you do needs to be thought carefully because if it is true that your non-Art subjects are being closed, is because you are doing something against the rules for this forum. It's as simple as that. For example you cannot talk about Star wars in the Star Trek boards because we will burn you alive strip you down, and place you in the middle of a desert. Then maybe someone will move the topic. This is unfornately how we treat newbies. Take everything they say with a grain of salt and make it a learning experience for this board.
If you continue the self pity attitude, we will start relating to you, as that.
As for me, I have no clue what this board thinks of me.
Posted by The Defiant (Member # 818) on May 28, 2002 12:09 AM:
I'll try. Not all of mine were closed, and I don't post much outside art. Except for the OL and Flameboard. Coming right after I eat lunch, a new The Defiant. Now what to call myself...

If they continue, do stuff that makes you unhappy with the forum, contact CC or someone and express your problem.

I usually post in the flameboard and officer's lounge because dispite watching Star Trek since it came out, most of you guys know more about it then I ever will. I love most of the ship drawings posted though I don't always say so. I have no drawing abilities and are envious of you guys who can up with this stuff. Don't worry defiant if you can back up your posts and make them intelligent most will leave you alone.

You realize that in the short time you have been here, you have had 18 publicly displayed names. 18 different identities in 5 weeks. Or, roughly on average, 3 to 4 name changes a week.
This is in comparison to posters who have been here since the beginning of this forum (three and a quarter years now) and never changed names once. Even Darth Jeep up there has only changed names a half dozen or so times in the two years that he has been here.

Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on June 07, 2002 02:15 PM:
Have I had that many?
I was "JeffKardde" for a long time, then I added a space ... "Jeff Kardde." Does that count as two different names? I was also "MeGotBeer" and "Kattus Magnus" (for about an hour, apparently everyone thought I was Ultra Magnus returned from exile). Then I was, I think, "Malnurtured Snay" (I took that name last August, or early September). I added an "-er" for a while, then cut it down to "Snay." I was also, briefly, "Jeffy."
Ok, I do count six distinct names. Hmm. Interesting.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on June 07, 2002 02:26 PM:
You forgot to add that you were also "Jeff the Card" (or something to that effect) for a while as well. And, I said more or less six names. So, ummm... yeah.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on June 09, 2002 08:22 PM:
I forgot that one ...
Yes. You're right. I've had many. But UM changes his name a lot, he just keeps the U and M combination, so everyone still loves him.
He could change his name to M II B and everyone would laugh.
Geez, Siggy, you keep a file on everyone? "Blast, Jeff changed his name again -- where's that manila file?"

Well BWC, let me give you some tips. You could go by Loser, but that might be too obvious. If you're giving it enough thought to change names that many times, just take an extra thirty seconds and come up with something good! Or call yourself Sol System and just hope people accept it.

i cant find the thread, but a months ago we were discussing girls, drugs and sci-fi; and the question was posed as to whether they could all go together, giving the recipient of the girls, drugs and sci-fi a heightened state of achievement i call 'Nerdvana'..
Wednesday night i saw Attack of the Clones for the first time, with Michelle (and Mary Jane, winkwinknudgenudge). I can honestly say that i achieved Nerdvana. And kissing her was a pleasant distraction from all those annoying scenes where The Boy was talking to The Girl instead of doing stuff or acting well.

Fun House, however, always had loads of laughs. I would have recurring dreams about pulling tags out of things, as if tags were the only world currency in my six-year old eyes. And J.D.
