    To help ease Buffalo's confusion with those who have changed their usernames.

    I was bcmf ( and you never know I could become bcmf again).

    So have you changed your name?

    I was Lusk Doyle but I felt something was missing so I added an underscore. Now I'm Lusk_Doyle.

    Woah, woah, woah! Hold on a second...
    different accounts,
    different usernames,
    same people?
    Mind blown!


    How the hell am I supposed to keep track of my enmities, grudges, and vendettas if people keep swapping identities willy-nilly?

    Did I have a running feud with Willy-nilly? I can't even tell any more!

    Okay I need some truth and reconciliation in here to fix my brainses.

    I was CJC999 and then someone pointed out that 999 is 666 upside down and I got scared so changed it to the phonetical spelling of CJC.

    I availed of the Boards.ie hack back in 2010 or whenever it was to reinvent myself, was originally a member since 2000/2001, and all my vendettas got lost with it.

    Vowed to become a model member and only post in the likes of Cycling and Athletics. Wasn't long before I got sucked right back in again and have a whole load of new ones. It might be worth going back to my previous user ID again at this rate.

    I've changed but still the same person.

    I think my name change predates my interest in cycling.


  • Registered Users Posts: 31,084 ✭✭✭✭Lumen


    I used to have a human name as my boards ID. I then changed it to Lumen.

    The problem is that this left all the posts in which I was quoted with the original name in them.

    So during my brief reign of terror as a cycling mod I "exercised" my newfound power to edit every post I had ever been quoted in.

    Bwahahaha. :pac:

    Every post? You need a hobby. I'd take up cycling.

    My original user name was Beasty. Then, when I changed it to Oscar Gateaux, El Tonto nipped in and changed his username to Beasty, meaning I can never change it back. Then I changed my name to Jep. It wasn't as confusing as it sounds. In fact, I don't think most people even noticed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,374 ✭✭✭Eponymous


    I've always been me. Except when I wasn't.

    My original user name was Beasty.
    Were you not site-banned for impersonating a mod:confused:

    Isn't there a Vladimir Kurtains missing from this story?

    From offa da Simpsons:

    'A rose by any other name would smell as sweet...'

    'Not if it was called a stench blossom.'

    'Or a crapweed.'

    'I certainly wouldn't want to be given a dozen crapweeds for valentines day.'

    <snip> used be somebody else, if memory serves.

    Don't think he did, but regardless of that please don't discuss other users. If posters are happy to reveal their prior IDs (some of which relate to closed accounts) that's fine. Boards does not permit re-reg speculation though

    Thanks

    Your user name is quite recursive, alright, like one of those kids' comics with a character on the cover holding a copy of the comic.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,334 ✭✭✭secman


    But who are two people? Who is not who we think they are ?

    Me I haven't changed a lot..just aged.


  • Registered Users Posts: 719 ✭✭✭flatface


    I have 2 usernames logged in on 2 different browsers. I then get drunk and argue with myself about road tax and high vis. It whiles away a lonely evening.

    I woke up in a Soho doorway
    A policeman knew my name
    He said "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away"

    I staggered back to the underground
    And the breeze blew back my hair
    I remember throwin' punches around
    And preachin' from my chair


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,275 ✭✭✭koutoubia


    Whooooo are you?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,849 Mod ✭✭✭✭eeeee
