name change request

It's a kind of Roman blade.

Basically, spada means blade, any kind of blade. That's why you have words like spade, spadassin (swordsman), espadon (two handed swords), and even spatula (yup!)...

Heh, n00b. *points*

So, why "Spatha"? Wondering what it means, not that it has to mean anything of course.

I frequent here and Nothingland at NTL I changed my username and decided I wanted the one I use here to match.

The Spatha is a Roman Calvary sword.

I think message board administrators dream of requests like this one.

Just wondering O most high most Squirrel , whats the most annoying user name you've seen ?

 

[Gez]

I'm not SN, but I would say any user name that's so long it disrupts the width of the messageboard.

Example: MordenkainensRubberDuckyOfDOOM!!! (from WotC boards).
On nothingland, I remember the awful combination of NinjaJester's two accounts into ANGRYNINJAMONKEYJESTERGOD or something like that -- awful, just awful.

Using all-caps is a sure-fire way of having an annoying username, unless it's short enough to look like initials. E.g., PWD (another nothingland example) isn't annoying.

Using exclamation marks in your username is also a good way to be annoying -- especially when there are several of them.

Mordenkainen posts over at the Nifty boards. I know Read My Glowing Claw-like Finger had to shorten his..... Man, was he ticked!

Mine's the same as it is over at WOTC.

I'd rather see all-caps than ImAdOrKiNtRaInInG type of username. I hate those! That's harder to read than all-caps or all lower-case.

Also I don't like those who run all the words together..... also hard to read.

Not only exclamation points in a name but also "leet speak"..... I don't care for it. I know that the WOTC boards hate it with a passion that Wizo Sith would envy..... I don't know Enworld's position on it, as this is a more "liberal" board than WOTC's are. But it's annoying to try to translate along with abbreviated words like you'd see on a rap/hip-hop album.

Well, as long as you don't mind that most of the people who'll read your post won't understand it because of the 1337... (Though using it to mask profanity, personal attacks or other rules violations is unacceptable, obviously, and also likely to get reported anyway - not everyone here is 1337-illiterate. I'm not, for example.)

I actually changed my name here once, a long time ago. Might have changed it at NKL too, but I was too afraid to ask
