Name Change Anyone?

Does anybody else feel sort of…er… distraught over the name of this board?

It has been my experience that some of this stuff is pretty interesting and at least 11% of it has a point.

Shouldn’t the name be changed?

On a completely unrelated note, who can guess why my name is steeljaw? Lifetime supply of trout marmalade to the winner. (Is that even a sentence?)

Damn it! Messed up the vB again.

I do not like you.

three guesses

  1. you have a really really weird affection for Richard Kiel.

  2. Samson vs. the Robomule.

  3. you have a steel jaw
    that’s all i got.

number three is closest

you’ll get your marmalade in the mail

And bear nenno, I think you’re just jealous cause of some deep seated emotional insecurity about what the kids on the playground used to do to you.

unless you were joking, then i don’t really mean that.

First of all, this has been discussed many times before.

Secondly, MPSIMS has a long history associated with the SDMB.

Thirdly, it is representative of the kind of humor that this board is known for.

Finally, while many posts are not mundane, and many are not pointless, the name well defines the zeitgeist of this forum: the sort of conversations that you have with your friends.

If you feel like you can come up with a better name that still defines the forum, go ahead. But I like the name.

And a hint? It is generally considered rude to try to make changes in any organization before people have gotten a chance to know you.

zyada, that makes perfect sense. You can obviously tell that I’m new here. Now I know. Case closed, except for this bear nenno character…

Ummmm… ok man.

Actually, the truth is, you have been here for less than a week and you have already tried to start a Mutiny against the Moderators in the Pit, told manhattan that he is a Nazi, and now you are saying that the name of the Message Board sucks. What is wrong with you ??!!!??
To put it another way:

Alright, Alright, I’ll tone it down.

Try to keep a low profile.

I apologized to manhattan. I think I have a medical problem where I have to cause trouble. I’ll try to control it. I also didn’t know I would be taken seriously.

Can I do this in a couple years though?

What?? You were never taught that it is rude to join a group of people and start telling them how they are wrong and things should be changed because you think they suck? This is the third time you have started trouble and claimed “Sorry I didn’t know. It won’t happen again!”
:wally

whoa whoa whoa,

i thought it was only two

see it is a medical thing, it’s pathological, i don’t even know when i’m doing it

i’m the type of person who likes to question things (and it usually causes a little trouble. but like i said, i’ll tone it down.

:rolleyes:

That’s it, a smiley, and it’s not even smiling. Is there no redemption in this place?

Steeljaw, apologizing is okay. Sying you’ll tone it down is okay. Just don’t bullshit us, okay?

i’m not. I swear. I just need some reassurance from some of these guys (bear nenno Saint Zero) that it’s not too late, otherwise i’m just gonna crawl into the pit and die.

You are a newbie, aren’t you? You say you’re going to crawl back under your bridge, like the troll people are convinced you are.

In order to convince us you’ll have to post your medical chart where it clearly states that you have no control over what you type. Without it we’ll be forced to believe you’re just a …

I’m cutting this off before people start thinking I’m really troll hunting. I screwed up like you when I was new, too. Just think before you post and keep the phony medical conditions to a minimum.

Steeljaw, Did you, by chance, try to take a bite out of a bar???

i did when i was little…several times that i can remember…and more that i can’t. But that’s not why.
Besides, I already sent out the marmalade.

Just asking…
