Title: Your past login names
Post by: Lyndon on April 08, 2008, 01:45:23 am
Ok. Firstly, I realise what a gay topic this seems, but there are some people out there who I think I know, but becuase of a name change, I can't be sure who they actually are

The only purpose of this topic is so I (and hopefully others) can keep track of who's who.

For instance I realise Dada is Omeg and Magical Negro is Steel etc, but there are others I am not too sure about.

Lock this topic if it's inappropriate

p.s. I've always been Lyndon

I've always been Kezay though, no matter what community I go to...the only other name I ever used was when I first picked up an ISP and I used to go as SkullKeeta.

superfrenzy ---> Eddie ---> crumply skankpants ---> crumply

Superfrenzy was the name of my website that I made when I was 11. It has since vanished underneath the tide of deleted angelfire web domains. What an embarrasing fucking stupid name! What's scary is that I'm 21 this year. The internet has eaten my soul.

Eddie. Well.... that's who I am. Ed. Edgarrrrrrrrrrrrr (not Edward like 100% of people assume cause they're faggots)

crumply cause I was going through my pants and I found some really crumply skanky pants, put them on and then someone gave me a nickname.

Wow, you didn't know?

I find that the best way to identify people is by looking in their profile. Their name will change, but the account name stays the same. For example, my profile says:

Summary: UPRC
Name: Dan
Title: Your past login names
Post by: Vellfire on April 08, 2008, 12:15:49 pm
Yeah, that works for the majority of changes.  Still, a topic like this is good for someone who changed their name early on and are known by that changed name, but then later changes it again so their account name is some old name no one remembers.

I've been going by ImmortalDreamer for a while now. Probably since around 2003/2004. At the start of it I just went by Immortal until I realized that it was a very common name and I should do something to make it different. I used to have an old account from 2004/2005 but I never used it and couldn't remember the password when I wanted to start posting again in 2006. Also, in my time before GW, I went by Dark_Gigas on a few different forums.

I've always been Mateui so I'm afraid I don't have any name change history, but instead of just ending my post with that I do have a question to ask the people who do change names frequently:

Do you get offended if people call you by your original name or one of your earlier login names? For example, I still see bazookatooth as panda, and Dan as UPRC and I feel more comfortable by holding onto their original names and referring to them as such because I associate them with those names, and it's just weird for me to have to "get to know them again" by a different name. However if people do get upset at that I'll try to use the new names - but I am curious as to how everybody feels about this.

Title: Your past login names
Post by: Kaworu on April 08, 2008, 09:37:08 pm
I used to get annoyed, because to me kaworu is who I was 2003-2005, so it'll always have that negative effect on me. I only changed it back because everyone carried on calling me it, and so there was really no point having a namechange. I personally don't like it, but I honestly don't give a shit anymore (I also really dislike my real name and loved that for my time at sixthform I'd had a nickname, because Monkey is such a better name than Wayne.)
I generally keep to calling people by their current names, unless it's a lot longer than their old one (like treg or mog), but I really don't like using names for some reason, so it's he, or she, or they, or that guy there etc.

Ocean's cool, I'm pretty gay because I was designing monsters for his game if I recall, just before I left GW last september, so I only ended up doing a few before randomly abandoning it.

Title: Your past login names
Post by: Kaempfer on April 10, 2008, 12:53:27 am
Now the secret is out!!!


I have always used Kaempfer here despite it being a shitty name. I would probably choose "hat" if I was just creating a name, now, as it's my name in Day of Defeat and it's a lot better than Kaempfer. I don't want to change it, though, because nobody every addresses me anyways so I may as well avoid the confusion.

I used to go by StormDragoon on IRC when I was 14 or so. I was going to change my name to RuneLancer back then because some other IRC user had it and left (and I liked it) but I never got around to it. When I realized that was gay, I changed my name to Diode (WHY?) perhaps because it was the first thing I saw when I decided I needed a new name! Then I changed my name to Kampfer and eventually I fixed the spelling to Kaempfer (it's a German word).

Pretty much everyone I knew from IRC way back (I still talk to them from time to time, albeit very rarely) calls me SD, but I don't think anyone here at GW was active in #rpgmaker at sorcery.net.

Strangely, after I started hanging out in IRC I am pretty sure every asked me if I had changed my name, so I guess I reminded them of someone. I don't know who this mysterious man is, though.
