Daxter King 01-17-2006 05:23 PM

Meh. I was obsessed with the Jak and Daxter series at the time. I thought Daxter was such a loveable character so I added king to the back of it. Is there anyway of changing your forum name?

Man, that was hilarious!

It is most likely something really obvious, that I REALLY SHOULD KNOW (I probably do, I just don't know what you're talking about)!
And when I realize what it is, I will fell like such an idiot that I will have to do that^ to myself.
But for now, I have not the slightest idea of what slogan you guys mean.






EDIT:
Ohhh, FUDGE SICKLE!
I'm an IDIOT!
I feel so dumb, I can't believe that his username's meaning went straight through my THICK HEAD!

NEW AND TASTY!
I'm sorry, I'm dissapointed in myself.

tsk tsk. Shame on you cullen health! No lollipop or cookies for you tonight! *Takes lollipops and cookies away from cullen*.

How old are you now?
No offense but, you guys are OLD!

*Grabs real Cullen and smashes him into a wall then hits him*

That's what we do to upstart youngsters who don't show respect to us geriatric 23-year olds.

Gretin 01-17-2006 06:51 PM

I made a thread like this once... And my one only had less than a page. :(

Ok, moving on, :D I came up with my user name because at the time I joined, I had been playing through Rayman (the first one) and I didn't know what the little blue guys were named, so I just called them gretins for some reason. Then I randomly decided to use Gretin as my user name, and... that's about it. :p

Just like how I randomly decided to post in the thread...



(By the way, I eventually learned that the name was antitoon)

You are 23!
Old And Not So Tasty (Now that I know what your username means, we should call you "Decayed And Disgusting":)) how old are you?

And why does everyone keep smashing my head into walls?

I would rather not reveal the meaning behinfd my name. That would take away the fun.

Nate 01-18-2006 11:37 PM

Cullen: click on people's user names, select View Public Profile and take a look at their birthday (if they have inserted one).

metroixer 01-19-2006 07:22 AM

Actually there is a way to change your forum name. You gotta (I think) have been a registered member for one whole year then you pm one of the mods or admins for a name change.

Havoc 01-19-2006 08:37 AM

And have a good reason! <--- Most important...

Nate 01-19-2006 11:43 AM

And even then the answer will probably be no. I've only ever seen one person manage to change their name (not including people who arrived and immediately regretted the name they chose).

Coolmanbizkit 01-19-2006 11:47 AM

My names about 4 years old... I really, Really hate it. I would try and get it changed, But it wouldn't work. :p I wouldn't know who to ask anyway.

Edit: I have this name because i used to use it all the time.

And that's exactly why I can't change. I got banned, and the rules stated that banned users can't get a title or their name changed. That's why it's a "privilage"

Splat 01-23-2006 02:01 PM

Before I joined OWF, in fact before I got the internet, I created a character who now stars in his own story in Fancorner!

While I originally decided all mudokons have human names (a rule I usually stick to) when I first heard about Munch's Oddysee I thought Munch would be a mudokon and thought if that guy could have a strange name so could my character, hence Splat. By the time i discovered Munch wasn't a mudokon the name had stuck ,and when I joined OWF it seemed a reasonable choice to make.

Shortly afterwards I realised I'd been extraordinarily lucky in getting that particular name and when someone called me Talps here I thought it sounded much better and more unusual and I've adopted it basically everywhere I can. I thought about requesting to get my name here changed to Talps, but decided it would make it too confusing for anyone looking back. So Splat I am, and frankly I'm happy with it. I seem to be the only one!

T-nex, your name's cool! personally I'm happy with all the names here cus it's how we know each other: change em and we'll all end up wandering around the streets with vacant looks trying to remember the names of our parents, siblings, children, friends, pets and mortal nemesises (gah, what a word!).

T-nex 01-24-2006 01:58 AM

Aaw ur so cute Splat... nice story by the way :) And i think your name is cool. To be honest i like Splat more then Talps, but Talps is funny too ^_^
I've always liked your name cos it's... Dunno... so different and still it's familiar. Really cute :D

Havoc 01-24-2006 02:27 AM

Yea, Splat is much better if you ask me :D.

Dancing Steef 01-27-2006 04:09 AM

It's simple; I kinda like ABBA's song "Dancing Queen" and I LOVE the Steef species so I mixed the names and got Dancing Steef :lol:


~DS~

LoboDiabloLoneWolf 01-27-2006 05:22 AM

*mental images of someone tryin' to teach Stranger the tango*

o.O

.........scary..........

Anyway, movin' on. I've always been Lobo Diablo Lone Wolf, it's my online author name and to be completely honest I wouldn't change it. I likes my name. :D

Steefie 01-29-2006 12:14 AM

I choose the name Steefie 'cause that's the name of my Oddworld fan character... and she's a Steef. I like Steefs.

But why I chose 'Steefie' as the name for a female Steef:
1. It sounded like "Steevie", the name of a cow-girl-go-famer on TV (from Mc Leod's Daughters)
2. It sounded... feminine O_0
3. It also sounds somewhat corny, in a way... a bit like calling a cat 'Kitty'.
4. I hadn't a clue what sort of names Steefs really do have, since Stranger hasn't spilled the beans on his real identity, so... yeah...
5. It was just simple. I like simple.
6. Other than the above, I really don't know why I called her Steefie and hence ended up using it as my forum name thereafter.

Fuzzle Guy 01-29-2006 02:54 AM

Mine is Pretty Obvious, I don't go wondering around the Celtx Forums by the name of Fuzzle Guy.

I chose it because Fuzzles are my favourite Oddworld creature.

Annouka-BadCat 02-09-2006 10:33 AM

Phwee, its a bit of a long story. But to cut it short, I WAS kila-the-dragon, but I changed it to Annouka because I was bored, basically. I wish I could change all my usernames because I have kind of outgrown Kila. Now, where Annouka came from -
Annouka was originally the name of a character I made up for a story for English class way back when I was in first year at high school. She was originally just a girl in a story, but she morphed into a shape-shifter who could turn into a cat a little later for RP but I never used her.
Now, Annouka is still a character of mine for another story I'm writing, and is a polymorph who can change into the form of any other organic being she has came into contact with (and the idea for 'polymorph' came from the TV show Red Dwarf).
And Bad Cat? From a t-shirt I have with a rather evil looking cat on it. I thought it was a good nickname for her, since she could originally only become a cat.

Fuzzleman54321 02-09-2006 11:10 AM

I was thinking oddworld names when i dicovered my favourite Wildlife Creature was Fuzzle's. I liked numbers, so i put 54321, and thats how i ended up with my username.

Dino 02-09-2006 11:56 AM

I chose mine because that was my nickname in my hyperactive weed smoking days. I have since discovered the wonders of medication, god bless pharmaceutical chemistry!

HobbitNinj 02-11-2006 09:42 PM

My name was actually suppose to be HobbitNinja but I forgot the "a". My name is a typo :p . NE who, a while back I was trying to create a good screen name for AMV.org and I decided to combine my two favorite fandoms at the time- The ninja turtles and lord of the rings. Thus, a very chessy screen name was born...

outlaw king 02-11-2006 10:27 PM

I changed my name to outlaw king , cos out of all oddworld creatures , outlaws are my favourite. Plus ive cought every outlaw alive , therefor I AM DOMINANT TO ALL OUTLAWS!! mwa ha haaaaaaaaaaa!

sorry bout that.

Slig outlaw 02-11-2006 11:42 PM

Amen boss.

dripik 02-12-2006 01:30 AM

I guess it's obvious where my nickname comes from. I was a fan of General Dripik when I joined the Forums. I'm still a fan of him, but at least I stopped watching all the FMV's he had part in all the time.

...These cheap usernames I create...

Slaveless 02-12-2006 06:40 AM

For me, it's kind of obivous. I loved the glukkons (Or at least being one) and if I was one, I would be slaveless. It kind of made itself a username, so slaveless was born.
*sigh* Man, I'm boring.
