Seems like every last damn one of us has changed our usernames and I have no idea who you guys used to be. I frequently see posters with 3,000 posts and I don’t recognise the name…I’m guessing there’s been a lot of name swapping lately? I’ll go first. whuckfistle (2+ years ago) ---

Before I was masked crime-fighter **El\_Kabong** , I was Quick-dra – er, **Rocket88** , actually. I changed my name because the old one was boring and had no personal meaning. I’ve also since learned that ‘88’ is sometime used on the 'Net as some sort of coded acknowledgement that one is a Neo-Nazi, which I am not. Nor, btw, am I an old-school Nazi, or even a Soup Nazi. ---

Actually I had _really_ good reasons for the 3rd and 4th. Plus the board was a whole heck of a lot smaller too.
