Title: Name Change
Post by: Bomb on August 29, 2008, 12:47:49 PM
I've decided Bomb isn't a very interesting username. It's one syllable and all the domain names for it are taken. :'(

So, I'm changing my name to Syntac. This new persona will have a much more interesting website.

I hope you get over your puberty-driven identity crisis soon.

What on earth drove you to say that, Lava?

Interesting name, Bomb, what made you choose Syntac?

@Lava: I hope you get over your irresistible urge to post hostile messages for no reason other than to amuse yourself.

@Plague Bringer: I actually have no idea. It just sounded good. More interesting than Bomb, at least.

Maybe once you get over your identity crisis, Bomb.

/ignore lava

You see, if I hadn't wised up by now, I'd troll you back. Then you'd troll me, and it would escalate into an all-out flame vendetta. Despite your best efforts, that's not going to happen here.

I don't see how I am trolling you when I am merely making a note of something. People that change their name are having a identity crisis. You can either go all emo and call me a troll for noting this, or you can just accept the fact that you have or had a identity crisis. It's nothing uncommon, everyone suffers from it at some point in his life.

Good luck with your new identity!

So then does that make it your business, or does he make it your business?

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

You should stick a link to this in Syntac's sig for a while.
Lots of us don't read OT, and I was like "wtf Syntac stole bomb's guide?" and only found out wtf was going on via Syntac's latest posts lists to find this.

It's posted here on a public board, it's everyone's business.

St. Vrayne, I appreciate the effort — but if you feed him, he'll only come back for more.

Did he say it was a rule? Also, since when does changing your online name mean you're having an identity crisis? I've changed my name many times, it didn't mean I was having an identity crisis. It meant that I got bored of my old name. I grew up, and noticed how lame it was. Either that or the name has negative/little/no meaning to me. I used to go by Black Death, then Plague Bringer, now I went by Korimito. I'm looking for a name change, because Korimito meant something to me. It meant a lot to me, and now it just haunts me. Yes, my personality changed. I changed. That doesn't mean I had an identity crisis, merely an identity change.

Sorry for the troll feed, Syntac.

I'm out; Later, all.

That's okay. Everyone does it sooner or later.

You need to visit a psychologist before you can say that.

While I certainly am not qualified to evaluate him, I will still do a better job at it than he will.

The less hair you have, the worse you are at trolling. I personally have too much hair.
