What’s with all the really long stupid user names that have popped up in the last month. I’m not saying it’s the same person. I’m just wondering what’s possessed different people to come up with such universally stupid and long user names…
i.e.
weapons grade bullonium
RepurposedNuclearNosecone
Crank it up to 11
I’m gona bulk up on fonts
and others I’m sure
RepurposedNuclearNosecone has a nice ring to it. I agree though, some of these are just nonsensical. I think people are just rying to be witty, without realizing that nobody notices how witty your user name is after about 12 posts. I guess some people think this is akin to a chat room.
We’re aware of it. Yeah, not all of those names are the same person.
Hey you! Don’t you know you’re supposed to e-mail a Moderator if you suspect…oh wait, I keep forgetting. The promotion and all. Carry on…
You know, I was just saying this in chat.
<slvrfire> My question is, what is up with all these new posters with super long names??
We’re on the same wavelength or something, scratchie.
I hate to admit it oldscrach, but both of us has funny user names too. 
Well yeah… But at least they’re short funny names Pit Meister. And you weren’t part of a rash of people coming in with Meister as their last names.
And Silver, great minds think alike.
Incidentally, I’ve been doing a bit of housecleaning. When I see a thread in my area that’s started by a sock, I tend to remove the thread. So, folks, if you’re looking for a thread and can’t find it, I may have removed it.
While we’re on the subject of stupid user names, I have one for you. How about zev_steinhardt? Now that’s a stupid… oh wait, never mind…
Zev Steinhardt
Personally anything over 10 characters is excesive in length and somewhat silly.
Anything under 10 characters isn’t nearly descriptive enough and is somewhat confusing.
oldscratch, I agree 100% !
You got that right.
I think only names that include both the first and last letters of the alphabet are anything more than insipid. 
Lizard, I agree 100% !
(I’ll go away now)
Say it like it i… Shit.
What does oldscratch mean? I mean is it an old person who scratches? Or did old scratch think about a long ago particularly profound, nay, epiphanic sort of scratching session? Was it the sort of scratch which distills all the effort, toil, love and art of life? It sounds like a type of Bourbon to me. And why isn’t it capitalized? I propose a new law on the board. Only ten letters, no more, no less, and all names must be cleared by oldscratch. Can I change my stupid name? I wanna be like oldscratch.
Oldscratch is more or less synonomous with Satan, The Devil, Lucifer, The Price of Darkness, Beelzebub, etc.
If I may notice a couple (having seen this trend myself) more stupid long user names:
lowlyingfruit… (can’t remember the end of that one)
March to a different drummer
How about: (new user name) **ck e (ic)
Hmm… I was thinking of becoming
Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor, or
Boogarrheal Catastrophe, or
CrankyAsAnOldMan, or
Danielinthewolvesden, or
C K Dexter Haven
But those were all taken
Damn, hadn’t noticed your August registration date. figured you were part of the trend of long user names in the past couple days. You can all go back to ignoring me as usual. I will add that I’m often tempted to post right after Danielinthewolvesden just because his name is making the “Last Post” column longer than necessary. And RepurposedNuclearNosecone (which at 25 characters is as long as one is allowed to get) actually screws up the formatting of the thread itself.
