Nicknames

[AutumnAngel]

For the past several days I have been trying to come up with a little nickname...or whatever it is that goes under our screen name. I can't think of anything! Jellybean has "Cop's Best Friend", CopInNY has "Manho", Jeeper has "Resident Jackass" now I want one. I've been here long enough -- it's time. How did you guys come up with yours?

[jellybean40]

I think you have to have 500 posts, if my memory serves me correctly. unless they changed it...

I thought of mine after a discussion in our old "Late Niters" thread with Fastie...either that or a PM with her. anyhow, i think she was joking about being "man's best friend," or i was, one or the other... (and we didnt mean it in the "dog" sense lol)

Since i was putting it on my O.com nic, i changed it to Cops Best Friend... because i care about them, respect them, admire them... etc

yeah, this is a cute little feature, I like it

how did the feature begin, who was the first member to be allowed this?

[AutumnAngel]

500 posts! I better get to posting then if I want to have a permanent place here.

[Lictalon]

Nah, don't believe that 500 post thing. I've been there for weeks and I've yet to be gifted...or cursed.

Unless they want suggestions?

Come on Mods, let us know the secret! To whom do we send the money? Sexual favors? What does it take?

[Bill R]

You need 500 posts and then request a name.

[Fastie]

I think most people requested their own little tag lines. Some I think were given by the mods but for that to happen I think you need to be a PITA.

I dont think they contact you, you have to ask them. its not like this is their paid job or something!

Then they will approve or disapprove it.

Screen name? How about Resident Cutie? Nahhhh.....that makes me sound like your average sexist male. Wait a minute. I'm NOT average!

[Lictalon]

Well it's absolutely no fun if YOU pick your own! Those mocking little names should be a careful reflection of your 500 posts! Some snide little tag that puts you in your place and reveals who you are to the world.

And all along I thought the Mod-Gods were going to bestow some nick...I thought it was like going out into the wilderness...You fight and struggle to breathe among dozens of the toughest people around, fight your way into the world...and then pick your own name? Come on...Jesus, God, The Great Spirit, or Niteshift oughta bestow that on you as a token of who you are.

I mean, wasn't that what the $25.00 a month I was sending in for?

[AutumnAngel]

Oh great! If I have to leave choosing my nickname up to you guys, then I don't want one. Who knows what kinds of thoughts you guys have goin' through your head.

Haha, that was a good one. Sign me up.
I was just thinking about how I got to 1k and no tag line. 10 more for you Scratchy. I will have to start thinking.
