I'm considering dropping my handle 'omega' all together and simply using my actual name, meaning on sites, signatures, and usernames. Opinions, anyone?
Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Using my actual name...?

good idea. its much more respectable to use your real name instead of your handle, especially when commenting on other people's sites (imo)
Ben Rogers

Hm... isn't there a mod that has been changing people's names on request as of late...? *Racks brain* What's his handle (so I could request a name change if I decided to...)?

I use the pseudonym "Mr Herer" because:
A) It sounds like a real name. (Which it actually is. It just isn't my real name).
B) I've always used it ever since I was about 15.
C) People that recognise my name are (for the most part) like minded people that are entirely different from the type of people commonly associated with the activities and personality types of the activities commonly tied in with the activities tied to my pseudonym.
and
D) I like it.
I don't really bother use my real name (not the one I am called by, nobody fully pronounces my name) because just about every American and southern English person can't seem to understand it. Well... They understand it. They just can't seem to grasp why it is my name. I tell them "that's just what people call me" and they tend to question why. Obviously it must not be a common abbreviation in the previously mentioned areas. The common abbreviation from those areas is one I can't stand to hear, let alone ne called by.

I'm no longer sure if I want to know what 'Mr. Herer' means... but I see your point. At one time, I liked the name 'omega', but now I realize just how corny and overused it is... (Note: I thought your name was really Mr Herer, lol)

I was thinking of dropping the name lavalamp (:eek: ) in favour of my real name, but then one thing stopped me. All of the posts I'd made in the past would keep the name lavalamp and only the new posts would use the new name.
I like to think that I've said some useful things in the past, but with a name change those posts would no longer be associated with me. :(

LOL. I think that that encourages me to change, especially with my resolution to stop making fun of Canadians, and to stop posting so damn much in the Lounge, _and_ with my connection being fixed, . ^^
Also, my first oh-so-many (about 2,000) posts were less than something to take pride in, so I don't think that I'd want them associated with me. Hell, if all goes well, everyone but the people I talk to on YIM will know that omega is/was me... :D
EDIT: Said something in a way that the meaning could be misinterpreted...

So then you have an actual reason not to change. Omega has no relevance to me, other than being what I originally intended to call the now defunct Project Epsilon.

Which is why I'm no longer a member of online RPG's. That's something I'd see you falling for, you never were the brightest of the bunch. :p

What's wrong with Onling RPG's? Esp. MMORPG's! I would still be playing EQ with my 43 Magician and 46 Wizard if my DSL didn't go out in the area that I lived at the time. I would jump back in now and get my characters up to plainer levels if I had time to.

I've always wanted to play EQ, but I doubt my computer is fast enough. Same for my connection. *Shrug*
Also, I think anyone who mixes languages like that probably has mono from a "mono."

EQ on dial-up wasn't so bad until the Shadows of Luclin expansion. Graphics, AI, and gameplay got better, and the bandwidth needed got bigger. There are so many expansions now it would be useless for me to pick back up. It would take me months to backtrack and get all the new spells and new gear. I'm waiting for EQ2 to be released; I'll start again then. :)

Heh, I used to RP in TC. I was fairly good, but there were ones much better. About the time I was decently good, the place started to fall apart, and become over-run by stupid newbs who couldn't RP, type correctly, or follow rules to safe their lives. I'm sure no one RPs there anymore ('cept maybe the stupid newbies who don't even know how to ****in' RP! Dirty bastards!). *Le Sigh* Those were fun days...

How long do you really think it'd take to land a blow with the things? It's not like I'm wielding some big battle-ax. And the thing is made to cut through sheet-metal. In shears vs. knife, I'd go with shears. Plus, the shears got the whole extended reach thing going on.
Here, I found a pic. Mine's a bit larger, though, and has a sharp point, but it gives you and idea:

Yes, but they're a few hundred times heavier and probably more clumsy to handle than a knife.

(1)I've found human flesh to be easier to cut than sheet metal :p
(2)I could stab you as fast with the sheers as you could stab me.
(3)Because of #2, and the length of them, I don't have to be as close => I live. :p
(4)I don't get what you mean, they're clumsier. They're not at all difficult to handle. They're actually nicely balanced, and pretty easy to manipulate. If they weren't, how would I be able to cut out anything?

Uh, okay.
No, I doubt you could.
So? I know I could easily out-maneuver you.
I said probably. I've never held a pair of 50 pound bench sheers, so I couldn't say for sure. They may be nicely balanced, but they are still a lot heavier than my blade.

They're not any heavier to the point where it makes much of a difference. I just don't see how they'd slow me down any. Obviously, I can't flick it like a pocket knife; probably similar to a sword then.

Yes, actually you would -- and we aren't two teenaged nerds catfighting -- and I find it offensive that you used the numeral 2 in place of the actual word. Harrison may have suggested it, but you went along with it, so that makes you just as guilty as if you had suggested it yourself! I CONDEMN THEE!
