Old DBB'ers with new names

by Gabe F-B on Dec 25, 2009 12:30 PM EST

I don't quite know how to do things on the new site yet, so not sure if this will work. But wanted to create a (thread?) fanpost where anyone from the old DBB who had to change their name can let everyone know who they are/what name they used to go by. Mine's not much of a change, I used to just be "Gabe."

Also, this could be a separate post, but maybe we should do another list of old DBB terms.

(JOD, MFWB, Spellcheck, etc...)

Happy holidays!

Good idea ...

I was that Matt Watson guy over at the old DBB. Now I’m “Matt W”

Not much of a change...

I was “Thom” on DBB (although I hadn’t been posting for that long, so it’s possible this means nothing), and am now “Thom_not_Tom.”

Good thinking...

I was Packey over at the old DBB even though I didn’t comment much.

Birdman84 here, formally Birdman. Huge difference, I know!

I agree with the need to do a glossary of sorts, to facilitate the merger. It will also help people new to either blog.

I'm the real Rob G

any other Rob G you see is not the authentic article. And I don’t know if there’s much need for a glossary. People are clever and will figure out pretty quick what MFWB means.

The real me

I am the resident strine speaking aussie at DBB. Sometimes confused as a Kiwi although I can assure you that I did not have sexual relations with that sheep.

PS

Congrats to Laughton and others on being able to keep their old names. My name has changed, but only slightly. Just some dashes on either side of “PS”…

Hey

I was formerly known as Yahtzee.

I am now known as Yahtzee. The only difference is that I will make a concerted effort to post/be here more often. School makes it tough, but you gotta make sacrifices.
