    Because I couldn't think of anything else so I picked my name.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 328 ✭✭BlueSmoker


    Because I used it as a name to promote bands, and the reason I used it as a name was because, it is the colour of smoke before it is inhaled, it purpley blue before we inhale it, exhaled smoke is grey. Also BlueSmoke came from an record label "BlueNote", blues and jazz, or original music, where a major thing in me coming up with the name.

    I did try Elan Glas (Green Art) but people thought I was trying to be nationalistic on some level, including the Arts Council :( I was try to say "Young/New Art"

    So hence I'm BlueSmoker :D

    Just thought it up at the time of signing. Was surprised it wasn't taken.

    Also, as well as being a perfectly reasonable name my username is an action.

    I'm actually quite good at throwing stones too come to think of it.

    Got it from the band, Cherry Ghost, but its often mistaken for the Red Ghost in Pacman for some weird reason.

    And you linked "stones" to what exactly, as others linked "music" to what exactly, when the hell did I need these words to be highlighted to me on a forum, expressing a point of view, you may as well drop a can of pepsi in to my post.

    A) I never agreed to advertise particular words within my posts, so stop actually highlighting them

    B) If I choose to make certain words a link it would actually be considered a spam, so as that's against your rules, stop doing it

    C) You basically don't have the right too legally or otherwise to advertise off my posts, so stop doing it. I own the copyright to what I write, you don't, abit of a cheek on boards.ie part, giving out about copywrite infringment by Sherlock, and allowing this to happen.

    My guess is bluesmoker has some kind of plugin in his browser which is hilighting some words and linking to ads. It aint happening here.
