Let's face it, folks - at least half of the people on this board have lousy screen names. Some of them are obnoxious, some of them are too long and wordy, some are just flat out boring and unimaginative. I want to change that.

Let me rename you.

If you want to try out a new name, I will give you three options. If you choose to take on one of them as your new name on Barbelith, you are honor-bound to stick with that name for at least one month.

Bring it on, folks. Don't be shy.

Alright.

Three names for you:

Champ
Flava King
Mountain Dude
 
 
Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo
04:40 / 23.07.03
Can we nominate people to have their name changed?

I'd be very nervous to get my name changed..I've used Solitaire Rose on the internet since...well...before there was a world wide web.

DAMN, I'm old.

Ah, but Solitaire, you don't have to change. According to Flux's own rules "If you choose to take on one of them...", you can ask for a rename of of curiosity, but adopt none of them.

Tez, you legal eagle you.

Go on then Flux, but I reserve the right to revert to my homely Jub. Please inbue the names with style and charm, that I may become stylish and charming...

How rude. I forgot to ask if others can join in the naming fun. Still, it's been 4 hours since A body ... posted so I reckon it's open season.

Available to one and all, same logic as whisky.

We are democratic! We trample on the individual!

I think posting in this thread should be taken as granting permission for Flux to offer a new name for you.

Oops.

Damn.

Could you rename me please?

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
11:04 / 23.07.03
Hm. I'm interested to see what you can come up with for me. You've got a lot of renaming to do...

I'm more interested to to know what you think are the lame screen names though. Just for giggles.

Flux, dude, I thought I got to be "Flava King." You're wasting my flava, dude.

In retaliation, I'm hereby claiming your name. Try and stop me!
 
 
Tryphena Absent

We should all become Flux for a day.

11:59 / 23.07.03
I was thinking about something like that - how about if everyone changed their name to just a number and people had to guess who they were from just one thread - could be fun or then again maybe not.
 
 
Unencumbered
12:01 / 23.07.03
Hmmm. Reminiscent of the Monty Python 'Bruces' sketch.

I'm game.

I like the new Flux=Frivolous iteration.
 
 
DeVoid
12:32 / 23.07.03
Alright Flux, since you are bored of the "Jacks", go ahead and give me a proper face-slappin' name.


And shall the rest of the board think of a good renaming for FLUX?
 
 
The chimp
12:32 / 23.07.03
Yep!

12:35 / 23.07.03
i'd appreciate a new name. my old one was too nerdy/wordy.
 
 
Bear
12:40 / 23.07.03
This could be strange!
 
 
Ethan Hawke
12:47 / 23.07.03
I can't say I didn't anticipate this.
 
 
The Apple-Picker
12:54 / 23.07.03
I'd never make it as just a number. I don't post enough. And I don't want to be renamed because I, too, have claimed the name of Flux.
 
 
Jub
12:56 / 23.07.03
No more Jub: FLUX IS LEGION!
(I feel a bit like agent smith though)
