What ever happened to Squirrel Nutkin?

[diaglo]

Of course not. While Cyberzombie's RL analog is male, the online personality is transsexual. In polite society, one refers to the gender that the individual expresses. CZ expresses the female, hence "her".

NTL ain't polite.

 

[BOZ]

well, he uses almost exclusively female avatars - is that the same as being an "online transvestite"?

 

[Keeper of Secrets]

NTL ain't polite.

And that's the way it should be. We have ENWorld for polite discourse. We have NTL for 'anything goes.'

 

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

Wrong. We have NTL for pr0n.

 

[Dinkeldog]

But I'm polite. And this is just another way for me to educate the unwashed.

Hey, no dirty jokes!

...and I showered yesterday, so there.

 

[Squirrel Nutkin]

I remember I used to come here a long time ago and Squirrel Nutkin would post a lot. Did they get banned? Should I not even be mentioning their name?

From Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Acorns:

"Oh, I remember now! Squirrel Nutkin! God damn it everyone's got to know about Squirrel Nutkin. You know what, I'm going to do you a favor! I'm going to let you meet the old bastard! It's all true. Ratatösk is real... and you found him."

SN doesn't play much D&D nowadays, so doesn't hang out here as much.

Truth be told I don't play any RPGs anymore. I'm guessing a lot of people got lucky when they blew out their birthday candles this year.

Not that I really know, but my suspicion is that SN got tired of everyone running to him with complaints about NKL because it was HIS board, so the last time he took a vacation to make sure it wouldn't happen, he made sure the name changed to protect the innocent (i.e. him), although he's back again, just don't look so much for a "Squirrel Nutkin" because he changes his name almost as much as "Thomas Heretic".

Dinkeldog's right about me getting tired of everyone's complaints -- sometimes my Inbox is like a text-based version of Chinese water torture -- but the reason Nutkinland got a new monicker is the same one most companies have when they rename themselves. My wife and I decided it was time to relaunch our board and give it a brand-spankin'-new identity. Unfortunately the name change came a lot sooner than the new style Boz is talking about, but sometimes that happens to the best of us. Right, guys?

 

[Scutisorex]

Of course, that's assuming you're the "real" Squirrel Nutkin.

 

[Thomas Heretic]

I don't change my name.
