Re: Do nicks or handles matter?
I get nothing out of a handle but a first impression. After that, as long as the person comes across as intelligent, then I pay them attention/respect regardless of how dumb their name might be.
As for mine, I like it, but it doesn't really mean anything- it simply arose out of my liking of a certain show about a wandering ex-assassin, as well as reading through a GamePro magazine. Amazingly it's never taken on any sites or services I sign up for.One Nation Under Surveillance

Re: Do nicks or handles matter?
In the spirit of full disclosure, it should be pointed out that before you had made your second post on the forums I had a couple of forum regulars ask me to permaban you based solely on your handle. Luckily for you I am far too open minded for the likes of that.
I will tell you this...you were (and honestly still are) on much thinner ice here than if you had chosen to be called Bill. Fair, nope. Neither is life. It's the way it is when you choose to have a ridiculously self serving handle filled with leet speak you choose to bring a level of disdain on yourself. That's the way it is and the way it goes.perl -e 'print pack(c5, (41*2), sqrt(7056), (unpack(c,H)-2), oct(115), 10)'Comment

Re: Do nicks or handles matter?
I have had this handle for 2 years on bhf and astalavista. But i did not receive so much dislike towards my nick. I was always told especially when I was new to astalavista and bhf IRC to just sit and idle then slowly make my little nest in the community, which I did. I thank you for not banning me right away. So I am on thin ice because of my nick? Yeah Id say thats unfair but thats life. I can not control what others think of me just because a handle.

Re: Do nicks or handles matter?

Re: Do nicks or handles matter?
I don't know that any of us care. Not one way, not the other. The one is merely foolish, and the other is moronic. Your choice. The immaturity you've displayed in this thread is stunning. If I were you, I'd go off and think about whether I wanted to be taken seriously or not. Improving your grammar would be a start. You might also consider whether what you're going to say has any greater weight than the standard silliness that usually prevails when a group of adolescents first encounter alcohol.
The earlier reply that I made in this thread had nothing to do with you, but now you've made me notice you. This is never good. Really, goofy names (in your case) serve no purpose. Why not just use a person name, and get over it? There's no reason to do otherwise. It isn't as though you'd done anything interesting, where you'd be identified as one of the authors of this useful software, or that useful volunteer group.
No one cares *what* handle you use. It's rather like wearing goofy clothes, magenta hair, and not bathing. Sure, you're making a statement, but precisely *what* statement? It's the same thing here. If you expect to be treated like an adult, act like one. If you expect to be listened to, say something worth hearing (and say it in a manner that communicates what you say, no more, no less).
You might consider studying Cotman's posts. He's articulate, thoughtful, and to the point. I'd recommend against studying mine. I can be a trifle abrasive. No, really.Comment

Re: Do nicks or handles matter?
Conversely you could just tell everyone that your handle is The 3L 33 Tone and if they don't know about the 3L 33 Tone they aren't as old school as you are.perl -e 'print pack(c5, (41*2), sqrt(7056), (unpack(c,H)-2), oct(115), 10)'Comment

Re: Do nicks or handles matter?
Oh, no. You should have seen what I deleted before I'd *had* the coffee. Fortunately, we all know my aversion to foul language. I admit that it is an incremental aversion, very thin when inadequately caffeinated. The veneer of civilization is now complete (until tomorrow morning, of course, or perhaps sometime late tonight).
Mmmm... Coffee. Moka Java. Guatemala. Kona.Comment

Re: Do nicks or handles matter?
Obviously it was a subject of interest if people responded to the thread. Also as far as my grammar goes those were past mistakes earlier in the thread. The fragment sentence that I had edited recently was not a fragment, because I only forgot one word thus still being a legitimate statement. You can keep saying what you please on the forums about me, although I was only here trying to make friends with same interests as I. Further more, I have not displayed any signs of immaturity on the forums, other then grammar mistakes if you want to consider that immature. So before you go judging ones character and his actions give it some time. I also did not ask for you opinion on the other handle I only asked would that be better suited.

Re: Do nicks or handles matter?
Consider this entire thread a hole, and you're standing in it. Continuing to post about this topic is like digging further into this hole in order to get out...it isn't going to work. Drop the thread and just move on..."\x74\x68\x65\x70\x72\x65\x7a\x39\x38";Comment

Re: Do nicks or handles matter?
Indeed... In fact, I'm almost tempted to go back through all of your posts and find the grammatical errors right now... I'm sitting in class and I'm really bored, but probably not that bored. =)Comment
