You musn't forget the impact of Facebook... globug0822 Send a noteboard - 01/09/2009 06:19:49 AM
Back when I switched from Be'lazamon to Craig, there were only a couple of people who used their first names as their usernames - Simon, Elaine, Geoff, Fanatic...

Now we move here, and everybody and their sister is copying us.

Now I understand we're the cool kids, and you all wanna be like your big brothers and sisters from wotmania. But seriously, knock it off.

~gives you all swirlies~

And don't go ratting off to Mom, or I'll get you later!


I noticed that loads of people seem to be doing it. It's interesting that people were more cagey about their real names when they first registered with wotmania, but now that they've become a part of the community, they've opened up and let everyone know their real name; and now that all the old wotmania usernames are now free, they're taking the opportunity to finally use them.

I, of course, am included in that number :P.


I mean anyone can find you online now-a-days...

You don't even have to be a super-creepy stalker.

O.o
~g~

To make ourselves feel superior Geoff - 01/09/2009 07:47:34 AM 1253 Views
Is it working? I already feel superior most of the time. Craig - 01/09/2009 08:22:24 AM 1222 Views
I feel superior to you, if that helps? Geoff - 01/09/2009 11:41:39 AM 1199 Views
How would that help, exactly? Craig - 01/09/2009 06:51:43 PM 1194 Views
