Why would there be a thread saying what our names are? It would be a pretty boring list thread, really. The closest would be the photothread when people say names when making compliments. Most people know the names of regulars because they have either been around for ages or are in gabbly, where everyone tries to use real names rather than handles. Or both, I guess.

Otherwise just do what everyone else does and try and work it out themselves? PM the person and ask if they meant a particular poster? Don't really care that much? Start a thread about it? Up to you.

This is a bit outdated now, but such a thing exists.

(As an addendum, Calenlass' 'Real Name' is not a name I have ever associated with her. Funny that.)

Yeah that is pretty funny isn't it Hot Lips.

Man what the fuck is Khar's real name, that still bothers me.

It's not safe to say it, if you ever speak his name out loud, he will know, and will track you down, walking across the floor of the atlantic if necessary.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #355 on:** 05 Nov 2008, 01:33 »

I know his name! (He sent me two METAL mixes in the Very First Mixtape Exchange On This Forum Ever) But like he said I don't speak it out loud or type it either.

(Edit: I just looked; that was May 12th, 2005. For some reason, I thought it was way earlier than that)

tania · « **Reply #356 on:** 05 Nov 2008, 05:31 »

there have been threads about it too, but they're also pretty old and i don't have the patience to go looking for them.

it isn't really all that silly i think. you hang out on the same forum for a long time and calling people by their username starts to feel pretty weird. there are a lot of regulars to keep up with, i do not see the harm in having a list people can check in case they forget.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #357 on:** 05 Nov 2008, 07:25 »

I live with Lunchbox and I don't ever use her real name. Most people on Gabbly do not use my real name. Infact, I mostly use people's usernames because that is how I know you.

tania · « **Reply #358 on:** 05 Nov 2008, 08:26 »

i guess it is specific to each person. i like to be called tania cos i don't know any other tanias and i much prefer being called that than ephemere. mainly my point is that i think asking someone what their name is/what they like to be referred as or having a list making a similar point is not really too big a deal. since there's a whole bunch that exist anyway, the only effort inolved is just the occasional redirection.

Patrick · « **Reply #359 on:** 05 Nov 2008, 09:56 »

Man it'd be pretty great if there were a one-post, stickied thread where people could just message a mod/admin and have their username + meat name added.

there is already a quiki page for this, isn't there?

So, my costume was super lame. I just dressed up as the Designated Driver (and stayed in character all night of course), complete with a D.A.R.E. shirt and a "Just Say No" sticker. It wasn't a great costume, but whatevs.

This was my favorite at the party I went to, two of my best friends:

I saw the pictures from the Parish. It's a shame I missed it! Did anybody recognise your costume?

RedLion · « **Reply #364 on:** 08 Nov 2008, 14:48 »

...Why was there so much discussion over weird goth Joker girl?

Poison Ivy is HAWT.

Also, Patrick's idea is actually kind of good, although it would be creepy, since non-regulars, new people would start calling us by our real names and I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with that. Anyhow, the quicky thing is definitely dated. There are plenty of regular people here who aren't on that list (me included!)

I almost forgot, here's my niece on her second Halloween.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #366 on:** 10 Nov 2008, 20:18 »

Oh, I understand what you mean, Red, but when people are referred to as much by their real name as by their forum name, it can get confusing. I'm not suggesting people have to have their names out in the open at all, but I remember having a hard time figuring out who the hell Patrick was when he was still KimJongSick.

Like a couple... jillion others, I went as Juno for part of my Halloween night.

Here's picture evidence (Sunny D included):

Chicks love a pregnancy scandal!!

I spent the rest of the night seducing dudes in parties with a drawn-on mustache. BEARD POWER!

When it comes to real names, I knew about the Quiki, but for some dumb ass reason I felt like it'd be rather gauche to create my own quiki profile or otherwise put up info there. I should probably get checked out for social anxiety disorder or something, because that's pretty damned timid. My name shouldn't be an issue now anyway though. Alex, Stitch, Whip, Stitchy, whatever, call me what you want, because I've likely already been called it on one forum or another.

A) I really like that Poison Ivy costume, and if I am not mistaken that is the Mariott lower lobby (i.e. she was at Dragon*Con). I can't believe I missed it. I would steal her costume idea, except that she already did it at the only place I would probably ever do it, unless I decided to do it for mardi gras.

B) Richard that is ingenious. Like seriously that is probably the most creative costume idea I have seen in years.
