I think we need to keep a list of good screen names, which are not in use, for new guys to look at. That way when a person decides to unlurk, and be noticed, they aren’t stuck wondering just what the heck to call themselves. Hey, wait a minute, we could use this thread! Attention Newbies, if you have already registered, **DO NOT JUST REREGISTER A NEW NAME**. That is a big time no no, here in Cecil Country. But, if your name is a total loss, write to an administrator and ask real nice, and they will let you change, perhaps even to one of these real cool names on this thread! If you do use one, come here first, and tell everyone that you took one, say thanks to the poster who put it here, and then go post your ass off all over the board! Way cool. Here are my suggested nifty screen name, never used since I have been here: Sum Fat Gai Demoshaneeze (like Demosthenese but with pebbles in your mouth) Sosumi Phil Aatelist Phil Ossified ## Triskadecamus The last one is mine, you can’t have it. ---

Well, I can assure that user names like “Member” and “Cecil Adems” will be amended. “Putz!” too. ---
