User names are getting confusing

[c.n.budz]

There is also:

Yooper
YooperBrew

I've changed mine in the past, but can never be just plain Yooper. It's taken!

You could always be Yooper#1 or you could use your mod powers and make that other imposter Yooper disappear

 

[Chriso]

I've meant to ask about this - Are there purge procedures in place? Or is it bad server practice to purge an account that has any number of posts (except 0)?

Seems like a lot of "good" names were grabbed, and then abandoned with a post count of 1.

I need a good witty handle, don't you think? Chriso is pretty boring, and well... that's what people call me IRL. Then again, it's short, and SO far I don't have any direct imposters. 69 total "Chris"es.... with about 5 real ones.

Now this whole Evan / Evan! monstrosity...... I think Evan! should have rights to both.

unless someone decides to be
psychoticgerbil
killergerbil
neuroticgerbil
sociopathicgerbil

 

[Orfy]

There is also:

Yooper
YooperBrew

Also, confusing to my little mind is this:

The_bone
Thebone2
Tbone
tboneindaegu

Although the first two names belong to the same guy, I understand.

Can you register 2 accounts?
Why would you want to do that?

 

[Yooper]

I think he said that for some reason he couldn't relog in to the original, and so started the second. Then he became a paid subscriber on the second account. He's on everyday- maybe can chime in with the details.

If you can lure the bugger out into the playground, the rest of us will have a talk with him. I'm sure he'll see, uh, reason.....

 

[z987k]

I think I'm safe. I've never ever been turned down my username.

*runs off to register 'hydrophobicgerbil'*

 

[Silviakitty]

the 'Silvia' part of mine's pretty safe...but I'm kinda surprised there's more than one 'kitty':

April_Kitty

dangerkitty

KittyLou

Granted, only one of 'em has more than zero posts.

Well then, mine would have to be hydrophilicgerbil, as I LOVE the water. I love to be on the water, near the water, or in the water. We went down to Arizona this last summer with some friends, and I spent every minute that I could in the pool. I keep trying to convince the wife to let me put in a full size pool in the backyard. So far I am losing that one.

EF didn't even sway her decision?

I was dumb, I got a house on too small of a lot to put a pool in. Hot tub maybe. Oh well, whenever we finally move, we want an acreage. Then it's divin' time.

 

[Kevin Dean]

Kevin Dean is a rather common name in meatspace but few people register their full real name as a forum handle. Triple reverse psychology!

 

[RICLARK]

Hell, I just want to change mine, I paid for a premium Mambership and Im still a senior member, Does somebody know how long it takes to kick in?

 

[Yooper]

It's usually pretty quick, unless your paypal account took a while to go through. If you don't get upgraded soon, send a PM to TXBrew, and he can upgrade you, if you can explain that you paid but it didn't upgrade yet. Sometimes it has to do with how your paypal account is funded.

Thanks yoop I paid with my credit card and my Ebanking shows it pending.

Mambership? Does that also involve the mambo?

 

[Joker]

Then there are people that change their names like I did, but I was barely known before so I don't think it made much difference.

There is a pretty obvious clue if anyone was paying attention.

 

[blacklab]

What about Kai and Kaiser?

 

[rabidgerbil]

is that the female version of membership?

EF?? oh... Edmund Fitzgerald...
no, not taking into account the innuendo, that is in my Coming Soon list...
I picked up all the ingredients, I have just not had time to brew it yet.
I also have all of the stuff for the Blue Moon clone. Those two will be my
last extract brews before I jump to AG.

the other half of that, again not taking into account the innuendo, is that the wife is not a big beer fan, the EF is actually for her sister who is a major fan of porters, and whose husband occasionally brews with me.

 

[olllllo]

Rich the Brewer ????

 

[c.n.budz]

Anyone else think this guy looks like olllllo after a username fender bender

 

[olllllo]

The Pol and ThePol.

fight?

 

[Homercidal]

I must be the only one who pronounces "olllllo" like "ahlo"?

 

[Chriso]

I pronounce it "jeep" or if I'm feeling dorky, "o-lololololololo"

 

[Chriso]

Jonnio vs JonnyO

 

[Revvy]

Jonnio vs JonnyO

Yeah...I haven't seen JonnyO lately, he dissapeared after he called me the Yoda of Sanitization...or was it Johnnio? Guess I need to look at my sig more closely.

EDIT Yeah, JonnyO...

 

[blacklab]

As long as my cousin "Carpet" doesn't join, I got no issues.

lol! oh boy. that's a good one!

Anyone else see New Kids on the Block on the Today Show?

 

[blacklab]

I pronounce it "jeep" or if I'm feeling dorky, "o-lololololololo"

In my mind when I read it I hear it 'o-lee-o'.

When I'm not reading it I just hear the other voices.

 

[Brewsmith]

Beersmith has been around a bunch latey. I guess I can't take credit for writing any brewing software anymore. There's gotta be something around here I can steal the glory from...
