User IDs switched around?

[Asmor]

I received this email today:

Subject: WTF, Mate

I noted you posted to Hussar's wall using my login. The mods have also been notified.

I was... very confused. Not least because there was no context and I was only vaguely aware of any of the names involved. Did a quick google search to confirm that this was probably something on ENWorld.

I looked up Hussar's wall, and found this message:

Hey, you're the guy who made the D&D attack icon font, right?

If so, please email me at itoltz@gmail.com. I'd like to get your permission to distribute the font with a program I've written. Thanks!

That is indeed a message written by me, not him. Also explains how he got my email address. But more telling, that's a message I posted on Daelkyr's wall, quite a long time ago.

I'm guessing that somehow some user IDs got switched somewhere.

A database hiccup of some sort.

 

[Scott DeWar]

I recommend contacting darjr about that. from what I am to understand, he is the SUPER TECH-MAN! for enworld.

oops, ninja'ed by a mod!

 

[Piratecat]

Calling [MENTION=52905]darjr[/MENTION]!

The exact same thing happened between me and steeldragons last year. I notified Darkness about it back then.

This is the PM I sent him (Darkness):

"Topic: Newsfeed glitch, or something

This message appeared on my newsfeed wall:

"jonesy has posted on steeldragons's wall.

If so, please email me at itoltz@gmail.com. I'd like to get your permission to distribute the font with a program I've written. Thanks!"

Thing is, I never posted anything like that. And when I google it I get an Enworld message by some guy called carlo585 to himself. This is really weird."

 

[Asmor]

Wait, so your hiccup involved the same message by me?

Now that's just weird.

Clearly, I am the nexus of all parallel ENWorlds.

 

[darjr]

parallel ENWorlds, oh boy. Looking into it.

 

[jonesy]

parallel ENWorlds, oh boy. Looking into it.

There's something for your job resume. "Fixing parallel universe overlaps."

You mean...

There's an Evil ENWorld out there with a goatee?

 

[hafrogman]

You mean...

There's an Evil ENWorld out there with a goatee?

Er, sorry to dissapoint you, but no. There's a clean-shaven ENWorld out there where nobody knows what an edition war is, and everyone posts together in joy and harmony.
