name change request

A2Z · Mar 10, 2005

I want my name changed too but I'm keeping it secret. There may actually be some dim souls that haven't puzzled out my new moniker yet.

I was thinking of being like, "I want to have my name changed to something that makes sense. Anything, you pick." But that seems like a very bad idea... :uhoh:

Dooo iiit!

It will be fun.

For everyone else, anyway.

That's a sure sign of a bad idea.

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

Yeah. What if they go for Jdvn2?

I ran a BBS in college. And the software I used would allow people to log in via user number, rather than their name if they wanted to. Most people signed in with their number.

I also gave most of the regulars admin privileges, which would allow them to create new forums. So, while on vacation, I came back and found something like 200 new forums, when we normally had like a dozen or so.

So, to get back at all of them, I changed their handles.

When they signed in, it would say something like:

: 72
Are you die_kluge?
Y/N :

And then you'd hit yes, and you'd be logged in. Assuming your password was right of course. So, I changed their names to things like:

A blithering idiot
A complete doofus
A real butthead

So, it would say:
Are you A blithering idiot?
Y/N

And of course, you had to answer yes to get into the system!
