There are several spider user names: \*\*Spider John \*\*, **arachnidlover** , **Spyderman** , **Spydergirl\_87** , and **SpyderA48** (and **Spider Woman** ), and I probably forgot a few. I think, since there are no cliques at the SDMB, that we eight-leggers should start one. ----:p/ x o x o x ----///\\ ---

Last week it was uncapitalized screen names, wasn’t it? I have trouble keeping track. Because **Lemur_ijk_** has made such a logical suggestion, there’s a new rule here (I just decided): only one member per letter of the alphabet. Now, I know it may seem like it would be hard to carry on an intelligent conversation with only 26 people on the boards, but it would be a whole lot less confusing, wouldn’t it? Oh yeah, and **Badtz Maru, barbitu8, beatle, Biggirl, BobT, bughunter** and the rest of you _B_s: You have until midnight tomorrow to clear out. Next week: numerals in screen names (those without three of them will be shot at dawn). ---

I’m surprised no one’s brought up the sheer mathematics of the situation. There’s only 26 letter in the alphabet. If you change the SN of all the “S” posters, you just increase the load on every other letter. That’ll work. > [@](#): > > I really hate people who have to use numbers in their username. What’s the matter, couldn’t you come up with an alias that 866 other people didn’t think up already? Actually there was an EnderW23 before me. What a fucking loser that guy was. ---

And while we’re at it… what about all these multi syllablic names? Taking this to it’s logical end we should just all be assigned numbers? That probably wouldn’t work either because there would be a fight to see who gets 1, 7, 69, and 666. I want dibs on #24 if this comes to pass, just because it’s my lucky number. Feynn. ---
