What was the fake user name that a number of different posters used to make imitation troll posts? The password for the account was the same as the user name which allowed anyone who knew the “secret” to use the account. ---

In a thread talking about why some posters were more recognizable than others, I wrote that it could be because some posters had chosen more distinctive user names and gave three examples of possible user names that would be memorable. Another poster apparently liked one of these suggestions and registered it for his or her own use. What was the user name that poster registered? What was the frequent response given to comments made by that poster? What were the other two user names I suggested that weren’t taken? And the obscure bonus question: What novel was later erroneously attributed as being the inspiration for that user name? ---

Do these trivia questions have to be related to this web-based version of SDMB, or can we go back all the way to the old AOL SDMB days? Because I have a few that I bet almost nobody will get. ---

Hey, why not, Shad. 🙂 Go for it. Next question (should be fairly simple): **Which poster left the SDMB because God told him to?** ---

Yes, it was Adam, with three numbers (Adam312, or something). He returned as Zion. My question: Which two posters were put “on trial” by ChiefScott, because one said the other wasn’t a good friend? ---

Close … _Phoebus_ is another name for Apollo. Phobos, IIRC, is one of Ares’ henchmen and not somebody you want to meet in a dark alley. “God is good … but yeast is bad.” What sig line is being parodied, and whose was it? ---
