Please, just stop changing your names people. SkyDog was odd, but I guess I understand. It was a time of change for us and his name was the topper.

Shorty and Dodgerchick though, things are going to far now. Heck, I still can't look at Poli and remember who that is. The names must not change anymore, I don't take change well and my head will explode people.

I think it's a natural outgrowth of a bit of a shift in how people interact via teh internet tubes. Particularly with the taking off of Facebook, where real first and last names and pictures are used, many people's internet usage is becoming less anonymous. In all four cases you mentioned, people moved from their "online" names to their "real-life" nickname or actual first name.

Ok, good reason....good reason.

I don't have to like it though. That's all I'm saying. :D

can we have a list of the changes?

Cringer -----> Iliketoweartheleathermask

Changing the subject a little. I read an article at time.com talking about 3 companies that have and are changing teh internet and its paradigm: Apple, Google and Facebook. When did Facebook take off and what happened to MySpace? It seems that social networking has become synomonous with MySpace but they talk like Facebook is it.

For me personally, as my "online" world and "real" world intersect more and more, I was finding it increasingly silly to use a screen name that I haven't been called in roughly 20 years, and then by only a small number of people. Nearly all of my friends call me some variation of Ben E Lou (mostly the whole thing).

When did Facebook take off and what happened to MySpace? It seems that social networking has become synomonous with MySpace but they talk like Facebook is it.I'm not sure exactly why and how, but for whatever reason, I'd agree that Facebook has sped past MySpace in being able to grab an audience beyond those under 30. Because of my work with youth, I was an early adapter for my age group on Facebook. (I was one of the first on YL Staff to embrace it, even. Now YL has an official Facebook strategy. :p ) However, in the last six months to a year, it has been amazing to see how many people I know joining it who are 30somethings, 40somethings, and even grandparents. I used to communicate with current/former YL kids through it. Now it's becoming nearly the #1 way I stay in touch with out-of-state friends who are around my age, and even older ones. I've probably accepted a dozen friend requests in the last month from people 50 and up.

That is interesting, Ben. I believe us baby boomers still have a sense of fear regarding privacy and identify theft, not to mention prefering alternate of ways of communicating (i.e., emails). Has FaceBook done more in security to bring in the over-30 crowd (if that's not a totally stupid question to ask)?

I'm not Ben, but...from my experience, it's changed a lot from the early college-only days. You can pretty much people from seeing almost anything you don't want them to see or limiting things within their profile or making it so only certain people can see things. It takes some work and it's not entirely seamless, but..it's improved a lot to protect people's privacy and ensuring stuff isn't out there willy nilly for just anyone to be able to see.

By default, unless a person has accepted a friend request from you, all you can see about them is a name, picture, and any mutual friends that you might have:

Noop is my nickname since I was little because I could not say snoop dogg I would say noopdog...

It takes some work and it's not entirely seamless, but..it's improved a lot to protect people's privacy and ensuring stuff isn't out there willy nilly for just anyone to be able to see.I think the key is the default, since a fair number of people aren't going to want to mess with a bunch of security settings (or even know that they're there). I'm thinking that the key is the fact that it defaults to friends-only.

What is Dodgerchick's new handle?

I've been "RendeR" since high school. First it was a DnD chacarcter, the it was my nickname on the soccer team. (I was a goalie and "render"ed the oppposing offense powerless) so I've always been called this. I hope I always will =)

Noop is my nickname since I was little because I could not say snoop dogg I would say noopdog...

Wow I always thought you had that nickname because it was poon backwards.

No just a kid who could pronouce his S's and it stuck since.

What is Dodgerchick's new handle?

Hi, that would be me.

Noop works on so many levels.

I've been considering a name change for a while and since Ant and I have shared so much about ourselves with FOFC, I didn't mind using my real first name.

I would reason that Facejam blazed past myspace in the fact that in general pages are cleaner, easier to use and look nice, as compared to myspace.

Oh and the whole fact that they started first as college-only and every college student in the world joined immediately, and then expansion helped the process too.

To me, I check Facebook religiously as opposed to myspace where every once in a blue moon I'll see what's happening.

Fine, so long as Loren doesn't decide to start posting more again. Maybe I can get her to change her name to Astroschick if she does.

Was she the one engaged to ... shit, who was it? I am trying to remember all of our Astros fans and I'm blanking (tired), yeah, she loved red text

Was she the one engaged to ... shit, who was it? I am trying to remember all of our Astros fans and I'm blanking (tired), yeah, she loved red text

Isn't she GoldenEagle's girlfriend/fiancee/wife?

I have to admit, it's very interesting to see people talk about the merging of their real lives and their online/internet lives. For me, that's just about the last thing I want. Maybe it's just that I've seen a lot of people working for companies that do defense work getting in trouble for blogging from work (even if it's not about work) or other "online" things, but I'd like to keep my 2 lives separate.

Sure, there are those at work who know my online nickname, and those online that know my full name and probably where I work, but so far, I keep them pretty separate. I don't post entries to my blog from work, I don't come here very often from work, and frankly I'm not interesting enough to use Twitter and I never got into Facebook (again, the biggest draw for me would be using it while at work, which I wouldn't do).

So, I guess I'll stay terpkristin. :)

There's only two places that I have used my real name as a handle: ebay and my old Apolyton account from 1999. By nature, I am a very private person and there are times and places to share but those are the exceptions, not the norm. And since I got in trouble for being on FOFC too much at work years ago, I have basically kept my time there solely on work (and it had helped to get promotions, bonuses and rewards).

can i change my name to Petrinitenarchuleta

To followup on bucc and tk's comments, I really only have a couple 'regrets' about anything I've said/posted/done as far as the internet goes. One of them is making my real name readily available online. Nothing good has ever come from it for sure, and a few bad things have happened as a result. As paranoid as I am these days about even people I know having information about me, much less anonymous people, i really, really wish I could go back and change that completely.

How does one change their name? I'm only MGB due to an ex stalking a name on here I didn't really like in the first place, as it came about when I signed up intoxicated and was looking to avoid using a screen name that I didn't like in the first place.

I think it's a natural outgrowth of a bit of a shift in how people interact via teh internet tubes. Particularly with the taking off of Facebook, where real first and last names and pictures are used, many people's internet usage is becoming less anonymous.

Hornsmaniac?

oh, good call.

I fall in the camp that doesn't really like to have my online world and real world intersect. Sure, it's kind of neat that MikeVic and I have some stuff in common and have kind of figured out who we each are in real life, but for the most part I enjoy the anonymity (although I realize people could surely connect all the dots if they wanted to go to the effort).

It allows for a certain level of goofiness, harsh language, and inane banter that I wouldn't want colleagues or whatnot to read. And it allows for a certain level of sharing of thoughts and feelings that I wouldn't want friends and family to read. I enjoy being able to bounce things around in here that I don't really feel comfortable doing with people I actually know. Kind of weird, but freeing in a way.

I wouldn't want to lose that, which is one reason that I've never told any of my friends about this forum even though I think it is totally awesome. It is also why I worry a little that my brother might find the board now that we've moved to OS. I made the joke about 'worlds collide' but there is truth to it.

change your location??

Maybe for like a month or two, we can have the new people have their titles or locations changed to "The artist formerly known as:" and then whatever their old name was.

Interesting thread.

I'm a lurker who posts occasionally. I asked Ben to change my username from raf105 to George because it's what I use for most other forums, especially related to text sims.

I thought I was the only one requesting a change. :lol:

That would be nice.

I've often considered going against the trend expressed in this thread. I registered years ago without thinking I'd ever post to any great degree, so I just used my standard internet/email username, which is derived from my real name. Though I've never been "outed", I certainly hold back and assume anyone I know could read what I'm writing, primarily because of my employment.

I'd rather just be 100% anonymous.

how bout people can just not suck and put it in their signatures?

I started to change mine, but...now that Dodgerchick is Lorena, I can be the only DC. ;)

I find it interesting that the trend is going back to real names. Most of my early Internet usage was on newsgroups where people using pseudonyms were mocked relentlessly (at least on the groups I was on). For me, my nod toward anonymity was to just use the first letter of my last name. I guess I've always had the belief that having to put your name toward your words kept people somewhat amiable.

I started to change mine, but...now that Dodgerchick is Lorena, I can be the only DC. ;)

Didn't you actually change your name once, but there was some outcry and you changed it back?

change your location??

I guess it would help for awhile, but it wouldn't help in the long run.

I haven't looked at anyone's signature here in a few years now. The board quickly becomes unreadable with them on IMO!

I'm not the political office seeking type, but I've often thought that anyone who wants to run for political office in 30 years damn well better be anonymous (and with good IP hiding) on any message board they've made more than a handful of comments on. It's the equivalent of having a ton of little Reverend Wright tapes sitting around. There would be tons of little quotes made either in the heat of the moment or in response to something else or even just taken out of context that could sink a campaign.

Then again, maybe politics will be different in 30 years so that something like that wouldn't have as much of an impact- we'll just be happy that the candidate isn't having sex with that underage boy at the moment he's taking the oath of office like his opponent would have been.

how did i get involved

I've used my RL nickname online since 1989 (almost 20 years now) and never had any problems.. I guess considering there are over 500 people with the same exact full name in the U.S., and about 500,000+ people with similar names, its never been a big deal to me. :)

My nickname is like bellbottom jeans.. I was in fashion two decades before it was fashionable to use RL nicknames!

That is part of his last name I think...he's one of my friends on Facebook and I'm pretty sure that is the start of his last name.

Every time I see Shorty's new name, this is the first thing that comes to mind. Sorry, Shorty.

With your driving record, I don't blame you.

I was thinking about going with something like Eaglesfan28... ;)

After thinking it over, I think:

1. Cringer should change his name to "18 Wheeler".
2. Cronin should change his name to "Trix are for Kids".

I salute you, Dan Garion!

I'm in the group of people that if I had it to do over again I would choose a new name. Mine's a little stupid and is something I've really only used here and at FOFC-esque sites like the RWBL and whatnot.

You post enough on a message board and you're going to lose a bit of your annonymity. There are people here I know I could find in RL pretty easily just based on what they've posted here. And if Stevew can find me at work, I assume everyone can. Just hoping my boss never walks in and says, "Let's talk about kcchief19."

But then again, I've never posted online about how I look hookers and stealing from the company, so I should be OK.

I'm thinking of changing mine to Michael Diamond.

My real name is Redkin Gold. So, I guess it worked for me too!

I don't know what to say.....................:jawdrop:

I was thinking of changing mine to JessicaSimpsonsTits

FWIW, long ago it got stuck in my head to read your handle as "ball sack 16".

You aren't the only person that had my balls stuck on their head...but you are definitely the first guy.

I must be the 2nd then, because I as well have read your name as ball sack.

Christ...Roman helmets all around then...courtesy of Sak.

I'm thinking about changing my name to something anonymous. Maybe Shorty. Or Wigcamedwards.

Isn't she GoldenEagle's girlfriend/fiancee/wife?


/tk


Was she the one engaged to ... shit, who was it? I am trying to remember all of our Astros fans and I'm blanking (tired), yeah, she loved red text

I am GoldenEagle's wife and I am a huge Astros fan but I have never written in red before. I am glad I am remembered :)

Might be thinking of Loren :rolleyes: , Cringer's wife I thought.

Yup. Didn't SD...err, Ben take away her text color button because her maroon text annoyed him?

No, I think he just yelled at her.

Or ManiacHorns

I made the switch too.

That's it, I'm going to nuke the # in my screen name!

If you do that, we'll get confused between you and the first eighteen MIJBs :(

Dammit now if I change my name I'll feel like a bangwagon jumper.

Well you did root for the Penguins. :)

I think everyone should change their name and just send the board into total and utter chaos...especially if no one gives away who they used to be...then we could all guess based on posts who the new name belongs to!!! What fun! :jester:

this whole name-change thing is bullshit

I made the switch too.

:rant: :banghead:

I want to change my name to OGC

LOL @ Cringer

Totally off topic, but for some reason I always get Cringer and Critch mixed up in my head...same thing with Hoopsguy and DaddyTorgo. No idea why, but I always have to stop and think whose who when it comes to them...

Logan and Lathum?

I always have that with wademoore and lordscarlet.

critch = Scottish, doesn't drive, doesn't eat meat
Cringer = not Scottish, drives truck, eats meat

There you go.

and Cringer's name is capitalized

I'm thinking of changing my name to Kodo$.

Hmmm. path13?

Naw.

critch = Scottish, doesn't drive, doesn't eat meat
Cringer = not Scottish, used to drive a truck and may go back if his wife keeps driving him nuts, doesn't eat beef or pork, but bird and seafood is ok.

There you go.

Fixed that for you. :cool:

Margarine_of_68?

cuervo72 could be pigeon71

I'll change mine to MichaelVic.

I'll change mine to MichaelVic.

RonMexic would be better I think.

I'll change mine to MichaelVic.

Well that's gonna be all sorts of confusing

I need to change my name to Antmaestro. I have been Antmeister since AOL in the mid-90's.

Fixed that for you. :cool:

Huh, wouldn't have guessed on the pork/beef.

cuervo72 could be pigeon71

Long ago I decided that an alter-handle would be bacardi27.

And I don't use anyone's real name that I know in FOFC, except with the wife (and even sometimes). My son and daughter have met and know cartman as cartman. MikeVic and Pumpy Tudors make great dinner conversation for whatever reason.

Don't tell me it's the toilet talk.

I don't believe that you would use the term "ball sack" at dinner.

No, we use code words around the kids. 16 Ballus Sackus seems to work well to describe you and when's our next show dammit?

I did say it was interesting...didn't I?

Oops, my cover is blown. Gotta make a name change.

:D

Gotta talk to Pumpy. He isn't on as much with the new job...he needs to set his priorities straight!

Noooooo! My children don't need to know the real name of the man who kicked his Daddy's arse in NCAA 2008.

I don't believe that you would use the term "ball sack" at dinner.

Since we all read it that way anyhow it would be awesome if you changed your name to Ballsack16

Gotta talk to Pumpy. He isn't on as much with the new job...he needs to set his priorities straight!

He's just gotta skip bowling one week for this.

Was everyone handed "get a new name card" or something? Did I miss that announcement?

I made the switch too.


Damn...you should have changed your name to Abe Frohman. ;)

Damn...you should have changed your name to Abe Frohman. ;)

OMG - Jeeber and I share a brain...I had a fit of giggles earlier when I read that Anxiety had changed his name, my first thought was "he should have made it Abe Frohman, and his title underneath could be Sausage King of Chicago"...

Now I'm frightened...

I always have that with wademoore and lordscarlet.

How does this get ignored? ;)

my bad

Fixed that for you. :cool:

You have completely tainted my image of you. No beef or pork- those are some of the most delicious animals :(

SI
