What are all the names you're known by?

[Jawneh]

Back when he was bentalbot.. and for some reason I always read his name as bental bot.. weird robot.

Hah, same. It was only years later that I read somewhere it was just his name. At the same time that little joy was taken away.

 

[Aluse Cannon]

Real name: Max

I've always been Nae'blis here, but in the beginning I had it as -=Nae'blis=- because 14-15 year old me thought it looked cool.

Funny(?) story: I actually thought about chaging my username to Blind Guardian before Ben did! Back when he was bentalbot.. and for some reason I always read his name as bental bot.. weird robot.

Honestly I still read it ad bental bot.

Same and I am convinced anyone who claims otherwise is a filthy liar.

 

[Major Isoor]

Yep, same. Bental bot all the way!

 

[Nae'blis]

Go Team Bental Bot!

 

[shortkut]

This

I’m known as shortkut here and in the online game I play I go by ieyecaptain from @Cole ’s poker tournament which inspired by @The Eye in the Sky! ‘s ieye from when we all played counter strike

 

[Kat]

we overlapped a very little bit, yeah. I got modded in early 2005. towards the end of 2005 is when Ben decided to "shake things up" and removed you, Tommy and Kat (this is my recollection maybe I'm mistaken) and held a vote for the new smods. once I became smod unchanged my own name to Coleman.

IIRC, I got booted for, uh, "delegating" name changes (you might know it better as "account sharing"). I would've gotten away with it too if he hadn't had an alt somebody did an IP check on to figure out the identity of it, and it matched both of our accounts.

I know I had a bunch of other usernames, but I can't remember any of them. They were probably so dumb I just blocked them all out.

I do remember that! hahaha

I know GW was wild west internet days, and with the size we needed formal rules, but God sone of them were dumb

I mean, that's a pretty fair rule honestly, so I can't be mad. It was my fault for being both lazy and so greedy with post count that I made him still post after doing the name change. It was hilarious how serious of an offense "leaking" was considered though. (I did that too, but never got formally busted for it.)

That's hilarious. I never knew you were such an outlaw! To be fair, those name changes were brutal.....ly mind numbing and endless.

 

[Lunar Kreskents]

Sorry for being such a burden.

I would have been done in 20% the time if it weren't for @A Hole... Lotta Fun

 

[Kat]

The best part is I originally got some recognition for being so much faster to do them than everyone else, hahaha. I blame school for having us read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

We're up to 20, so only 30 more to go.

The wild thing about the whole leaking thing is from BEFORE I became a mod I knew what everyone was saying in my instamod thread. Same for VMG. Same for smod. The admin spot was strictly between Al and I via email… it was the only way we could get answers outta him.

Leaking was a REGULAR thing, from the top down. As much shit that we had to go through to even be promoted to admins, you better believe if we trusted you enough to fill one of our spots you already knew what was going on.

Leaking is serious business

Back then it was. When there were 100+ mods, 12 VMG, 4 smods, and 4 admins anything could have turned into a shit show in the mod forum… if something got out of there, it caused a shit show wherever it landed because there were always a bunch of names associated with any leak.

It was never about the leaks themselves. It was about WHO was leaked to that caused a problem, because there was a lot of people not backing up what they’d say in private in public.

 

[Kat]

Ooo they're starting to come back to me now:

mandyfan4evr (thanks shortkut)
Luna Goddess
Lunakki (probably)
Orangechick
Kat (obviously)
Sofa Queen (briefly, while @Sabin was Sofa King if I'm remembering correctly)

Hi poj! Long time no see! How have you been?

Well now... difficult to condense 15+ years into a sentence!
I guess I'll update people in a more appropriate place. It's nice to see so many lovely old names though

 

[Madden_07]

Hello! I am me, I believe I also went by originalxboxer once upon a time. Glad to be back and look forward to seeing you all again

I originally joined as Volleyballchika6934 or something along those lines. I then changed to Ashlee, my name. Some other names from other games/discord are Aliella and Ashandrae as well.

Hero
Requiem (Mostly referred to as Req.)

OH and Murdoch

You guys feel free to call me JW

I'm PrisonWaffles on literally everything, and almost was here, but I thought I'd just go with Requiem since I'm pretty sure that was the last name

 

[Boots]

Waffles!

A lot of people call me waffle online, as my gaming username is typically Luftwaffel. Sometimes w4ffel. Hello fellow breakfast food!

Last username: Ryan!

I'm also known as The Coffee Guy as I always bring nurses those giant Tim Hortons coffee things

 

[Ryan!]

I do remember that! hahaha

The "No Alts in the Thunderdome" was probably the dumbest one. We couldn't have both Klowny and Duh'Venger

 

[Aluse Cannon]

As it turns out, we would have been better off having neither.

[Ryan!]

No I'm the Ryan that was mostly in the e-feds and occasionally played poker and mafia. Also I was a douche in the religion forum. Funny how I'm now a converted Catholic.

 

[Tirith]

Hmmm... Long list. I don't remember most.

I was Xellos, King Kimahri, Xellos again, got permabanned as Xellos, and came back as Black Phoenix

There were others in between, but there isn't enough truth serum in the world that can get me to remember them.

 

[Sabin]

Lol I do remember Sofa King. At 15 that sounded funny.

To this day I still say K for C revolution. No one ever gets the reference.
