Why did you join OWF?

[STM]

So look who's come crawling back!


don't go away again Kastere ):

[Varrok]

I'm glad everything turned out well for you

[abe is now!]

Dear moderators, can you give MeechShrykull1029 a one-day permit? He wants to tell us the reason he joined this place!

[Nate]

Are you serious or joking? If he's contacted you, then he can send you what he wants to say and you can paste it here.

It's hard for me to tell if you're joking, as JohnnyK89 has been sending me emails every few days for the last three weeks.

He didn't contact me, I was kidding but it would be funny to know what was going on inside his brain lol

[Jordan]

If that were true all it would cause is trouble.

Un-ban him!

[Crashpunk]

Un-ban everyone. We need to know why they joined in the first place.

Then ban them again.

[MeechMunchie]

ok but im sorry and if you don't unban me ill be really angry so i just want another chance and if you cant do that then your really mean because all i tried to do was get more levels so your not being very nice

[Varrok]

ah, JohnnyK89, the one true martyr of OWF

[abe is now!]

I remember when AlienMagi was banned and asked my help to get back on OWF... What great memories.

[Nate]

That's a good impression, but you need to be more entitled and sweary.

[MeechMunchie]

fuck you

[STM]

But now you just sound like any one who talks to Nate for too long.

I'mkiddingilyreally

[MeechMunchie]

[Gwan-Thwei]

I feel like there's a lot of interesting stories behind these usernames...Too bad i wasn't here to see it!

[Varrok]

Like "Nate". That's cryptic. Or "MeechMunchie"

[Nate]

Like "Nate". That's cryptic. Or "MeechMunchie"

My username wasn't always 'Nate', though...

[STM]

Bark bark.

[Holy Sock]

Random name in the Worms Armageddon worm name generator. That's my great mystery solved.

[MeechMunchie]

My username comes from a one-shot gag in a '90s platformer series.

[Job McYossie]

Well as long as we're telling stories.

My username comes from two different names, Job was what I named my male tabletop RPG characters, and McYossie was the most random, yet original, name for a dwarf I made when I started playing WoW.

[Phylum]

I spent about half an hour reading through lists of words, because I wanted to create an online identity like I felt some of the guys here had. Phylum fit the bill, and won me scientific brownie points to boot. I didn't even fully understand what it meant until 3 or 4 years ago.

I've used Phylum, or "phy1um", everywhere since. I think about as many people know me as Phylum as they do Tom these days. I couldn't imagine ever going by anything else on the internet.

[Manco]

My username wasn't always 'Nate', though...

I like how there’s a tendency for people’s usernames to get shorter and simpler over time.

[Mac Sirloin]

Upon a thorough probing of my brain with a rusty old coat-hanger I believe I joined OWF to post some self-indulgent fan fiction back in the dinosaur days of '07, all of which has likely been lost to time. I remained for the community which is like no other.

[Nate]

I like how there’s a tendency for people’s usernames to get shorter and simpler over time.

I think it's because we're no longer teenagers (or early 20-ers, as in my case). Just the other day I was looking through old chat logs with WoF and his screen name used to go on for half 10 or 20 words. Nowadays it's just his name.

[Job McYossie]

Does this mean I'll eventually create a new account with a shorter name when I turn 20?

[Phylum]

You can just get a name change like Max the Mug, old and not so tasty, Kastere and OddHunter before you.

Does anyone else remember not having a clue who that Mac Sirloin guy was at first?

[Varrok]

My username comes from a one-shot gag in a '90s platformer series.

...I could swear it was from a newly-released game

[STM]

My name was just the first thing that popped into my 13 year old head. I really remember the reasoning behind it but it seemed cool at the time. I actually quite like it now, it's strangely become a part of my self I feel. Still, it'd be nice to get it shortened since no one calls me anything but STM (or STW) any more. In fact, it's probably time to get rid of the 'woman' in STW...I don't think anyone's used a male gender pronoun to refer to me in about two or three weeks.

[Job McYossie]

Ehh, I switch back in forth with your pronouns.
