I made my screename in my freshman year... but now it just didn't make much sense to some people, so I've changed it to my real name. :)

Koko Ed 04-25-2003 07:36 AM

I use this username on other messageboards I frequent and I like it.
I think I'll stay as is, if you don't mind.
Total rebel, that's me.

Jeff Rodriguez 04-25-2003 09:27 AM

If you were to go up to just about an member of 173/571 and ask for Jeff, you would get pointed in the wrong direction. There were always two Jeffs on the team when i was there, so i got called Ogre.
In fact, I IMed Joel once from a different SN and told him it was Jeff and he thought it was the other Jeff, not me.
I have always been know as Ogre, I have always been called Ogre, I shall stay Ogre.
There are too many Jeffs in FIRST (Wetzel, Waeglin, the one form team 73, and thats off the top of my head)
I will put my name in my sig.[edit] In my Title [/edit]
I don't mean to be cocky or defiant, but people don't know me as Jeff. It won't work.

Ashley Weed 04-25-2003 09:38 AM

well.. my last name is Weed....
umm, I have been known as weedie since I was 8 in school...
and most of my team knows me as weedie..
so, I only found it 'custom' to go by weedie on Delphi.

... if someone would really like me too, let me know... I would be happy to change it to my real name.. just ask!

hey - great meeting many of you at CE!

CONFORMITY!!

i'm not about to change my username,

but i like it better when people say
'hey, where's Firewolf?'
it brings a smile to my face

You know whats even freakier when people would go up to you and go,"Hi Adam." and you would think,"What the #### how did he know my name." and then I realized my safety glasses were decorated with my name.:rolleyes:

All I am doing is trying to improve communications and relations between people in this community. I may sound like a nag, but I see this bettering our already great FIRST community on this fine website.

So... I challenge you all to change your screen name to your real name.

I could not agree more. While we are at it, could we take out the silly Team#000 thing. I hate it when people say they are on team 000, when they really are on a team, and are such cowards that they feel they must hide behind a screename and a fake team number.

BTW, I'm Ben Mitchell, (first name Ben, last name Mitchell) and I'm on Team 303.

But.. If that was taken out, what would people do who really aren't on a team?

Team #000 is what people put when they aren't directly associated with a particular team. There are many avid FIRST enthusiasts and volunteers on this board who aren't on a team, and Team #000 is for them. Besides, anyone who posts under Team #000 to hide their identity probably won't stay around too long, and if he causes any trouble, I'm sure Brandon can handle it.
