The Flame said:
Real name is Jake.
When I joined I was Flaming Chao. I was usually going by Flame online at the time, but that name was already taken by a mod, so early on I switched to The Flame, which became my main. There's a long list of goofy ass names that I used briefly, but the only ones I can currently remember are Haunter, Doctor Zoidberg, The Narwhalrus, and *. On Steam and such my username is usually Inebriated Moose, which has been my default ever since the PS3 days. Been wanting to switch it to something else because I've grown tired of it, but could never come up with anything that sticks.

Had a feeling that was you. Saw you around the Sonic forum every now and then

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. :cool2

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Wow, so many old names in this thread. Great to see so many familiar faces that I haven't seen since the facebook days, haha. 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.

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.
