Jacob 1 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I first joined as ost_fan a few years back. After about 100 posts I wanted to change it to something more personal.I've posted as J Dan for most of my time here, but that seemed to confuse some people.A couple months ago I revealed my identity... as Jacob. (*cue trombones*)Oh and by the way, I've been looking for a few candidates to take a couple of airline tickets off my hands, free for the asking.Certainly a lost opportunity if you pass this up.Any takers?

You're JDan??? I was wondering where he went! I've been thinking Jacob was a newbie all this time.
Jacob 1 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Hah. I wasn't sure anyone noticed.I did keep the same avatar and sig for a while after the switch, thinking that would be enough.When scanning threads, who reads usernames anyway, right?By the way, that bit about airline tickets was a reference to LOST, the TV show.Don't want to confuse anymore people.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I remember J Dan, but never put two and two together
stewdog1 50 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Nope, it doesn't work and neither does the link.I went to edit his post to fix the link and there's nothing there but an empty picture frame icon. Your link went to a page not found.I just thought he posted one of "Steef's watching you poop" images.Well, that's weird, it worked for me originally.But since you brought up Steef. Here's an old one.
Red 75 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I've never really had a desire to use my actual name. It's not that I don't like my name, I just like taking advantage of the nicknames and titles one has on the internet. I have a few on the various websites and forums that I frequent.

Koray Savas 2,260 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I don't why, but I never used any of the funny names I picked for the several PSN accounts I have. When creating a screen name, I always try to come up with something obscure, and it turns out anything with "Mc" in it is hilarious for some reason.My back-up account on PS3 is BaggerMcGuirk. I played on it extensively on COD4, and after months of playing I got one message in-game. "Dude, Home Movies is awesome." That made my life complete.Ranger McFriendly is another one I have too

BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Look at all those pansies who tried to erase their mistakes by changing their names! Except for the now mods and admins of course...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I have never made any mistakes!

Datameister 2,586 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Hot girls in avatars are a real problem. There was one guy on another site who had a picture of Jessica Alba as his avatar for the longest time, and for the longest time, my brain assumed he was a girl, possibly an attractive one. I never had that issue with you, Trent, because of your screen name, but it's still funny how it colors one's impression of a poster.
Datameister 2,586 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Oh, I recognized her just fine, but still, there's a tendency (at least in my brain) to associate the poster with the avatar. I mean, take Quint for example - there's a part of me that is totally convinced he actually looks like Robert Shaw.
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Oh, I recognized her just fine, but still, there's a tendency (at least in my brain) to associate the poster with the avatar.

Jeff 10 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Jeff is my real name and I look pretty much like my Avatar.
Datameister 2,586 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 But that is him in his avatar. ...partly.
Xander Harris 9,674 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 How do you change your username? Admin?
Trent B 354 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 How do you change your username? Admin?Send a PM to Jason and ask him to change it for you and he will. You'll have to sign in under that new name. The password should still be the same.

King Mark 3,975 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 FattyMcButterPants posted up until Dec 31st 2008, and his most recent login was Jan 2nd 2009. I see nothing in his last few posts to indicate why he would have left; Did he make posts after New Years Eve that have been deleted?It appears so. He made some odd, disturbing posts about the end of the world or something along those lines.I just saw in the Super Secret Admin Area ™ that he was banned until January 3rd, 2010!So whatever he said got deleted, and he got a one year ban! Wow!What the hell did he say to get himself banned for a year?My username is what it is. I've used it for my e-mail address when I got access to the internet the very first time, and used it as a username ever since.Anywhere. Everywhere.Simplicity is a bliss.I could change to my actual name, but I don't see the upside of rubbing your personal name under everybody's nose openly in the web.I feel it is good to use an alternate name to have a fictitious "entity" to fight when there is an argument. I feel it takes away some of the personal aspect.yes I agreeWait why am I in this tread...oh yeah who's Peter Corrigan?

Quintus 6,496 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 I thought Fatty was a decent poster, I'd have him back. I guess his big gob and abrasive way didn't fit with the conservative criteria of this place.Or maybe he was just a complete twat, I can't quite remember.
King Mark 3,975 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 It looks like he got banned without making a personal insult to anyone , just some weird shit. I'm curiousThe only other person that got banned a year was A.I. and he was insulting people left and right
Jay 46,243 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 I have no idea what Fatty McButterpants said to get banned; As was mentioned in the thread, the post was deleted. Or maybe it was via PM, and not a post. Who knows now, its lost to time.
Marian Schedenig 11,694 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Jeff is my real name and I look pretty much like my Avatar. You have two heads?

Ollie 1,375 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Mr. McButterpants turned out to be a bit off kilter. Based on some of the stuff he said, it was for the best I would imagine.If Marc or Neil wanted to fill everyone in, I'm sure they would of. I saw some of the stuff before it got deleted and uh, a bit uh wacko.
Trent B 354 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I briefly remember Mr. McButterpants and Mark was right he was a weird one and a bit of an ass hole. I certainly don't miss him.
Jeff 10 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Jeff is my real name and I look pretty much like my Avatar. You have two heads?No, but the one I have is hanging in midair.
