Title: You guys are so God damned elite with your colored names!
Post by: BranDonk Kong on August 26, 2009, 01:50:32 AM
Colored names = ranking, ranking = classes, classes = separation, separation = POLITICS! This whole forum system has just become one big political thread, lock the whole board.

First they were changing their names to include NWR (e.g NWR Pale) Now they opt for a color change instead. We are being divided by colors.... wasn't once enough? Has history taught us nothing? [/faux outrage]
Why red? how about
Pale or Pale or Pale
Red is such an aggressive color.

Red is because he is a Admin. Blue for the staff.
What I want to know is what brought this change upon us.

Don't look at me, I was happy being "one of the guys". It was the rest of staff that felt the need to something stand out above everyone else, so now we are blue so people can be green with envy...
Bad joke, I know.

This was brought on because we started to feel that some staffers were not connected to their forum names in the minds of all of you guys.
We don't want the forums to become such a separate entity from the site itself. We want you all to know that when Halbred makes a comment about dinosaurs, he is the same person as Zach Miller from NWR.
Some of you (like vudu) may have noticed that some of us were playing with tagging our usernames in a different way. Aaron then stepped in and set up the cool coloring which I think solves the problem nicely.

I just feel like if staff, mods, admins, and all the people in the "network" can change their names, we should be able to, too.
Maybe I want to become "OneOfTheGuys," or just "NotTheJasonInGainesvilleNickAndChessaKnow," but I'll bet you'd just tell me that can't be done, especially the second name. If the second name is possible, I might take it for a while.

Well, you can't get a colored one (unless it's your birthday or you're banned). Also, a name that long is going to get truncated.

Eh, during the MPT, things got very confusing. NWR's Nick and Chess DiMola have befriended someone named Jason who works for the Gainesville branch of Ignition. When we were both signed on, chatting, and skyping with them, as far as names went, who was being called, and whom was whom grew to be a bit confusing. More confusing than figuring out which guy that guy was, to some.
So this is likely a temporary play on that.
Edit: Can't moderators and admins change other moderators and admins' names?
Hey, while we're at it, we should definitely bring back the point system....

When I was a kid, my mom always separated the laundry into what she called whites, darks, and coloreds. Years later, I was at a laundromat and having a conversation and I had to stop myself because those words when overheard could be misconstrued.
"Separate your coloreds from your whites!"

Their names were already coloured on the "user's online" lists, now it's just spread to the rest of the forum (which I imagine is how it was originally supposed to function). Though I don't see the point in putting "NWR" in their usernames because we already know they're from NWR...
Originally I wanted to put hearts in my username, like this:
♥ Mop_it_up ♥
But I couldn't do it because I already had an account when I first started posting. It's pobably for the best though, because almost no one gets my username right as it is.

Wasn't you, but I never once saw a post of yours and thought "here comes something stupid" so don't put yourself down that way.
While I'm at it, The Poster Formely Known as Thatguy doesn't deserve the worst username award, the longest perhaps but not the stupidest. That definately stays with Daaman64

You know the whole separation of the Nintendo forums and the "General Gaming" forums is politics too. I get it - politics are fine, as long as they support NWR's hidden agenda.

It is basically like the round table in King Arthur's court, it is meant to symbolize equality but because he is king he gets to wear a crown to make himself just a bit different. The Admins are King Arthurs, while the staff are his knights, they have little color differentiation but because of a prevailing ego they have to have something different to distinguish them. While the peasants, us, are totally separated in color scheme. Basically NWR=Camelot
