Name Hoarding
I show up here and immediately register as Bethyaga. Cuz that's who I am, dammit.
And then it occured to me that I have several other IDs that I will actually use on this board, and I better get them registered: Olibarro, Karen Schmidt, Tradejack. So I did.
Then I'm sitting around and I realize that I could be Mike Jones. Wouldn't that be cool? Sure, I may not ever use it, but it is my name, and it's not like I'm using up a name someone else on this board is likely to want... hell, sure, I'll register Mike Jones.
But then I went overboard. I can just be Mike. In all my years on the net, I've never been anywhere where the name Mike was available. This may be the only chance I get. So I registered it.
And now I regret it. I'll never post as Mike. I'll never use that ID. I wanted it just because I could have it, and now, a perfectly good name (that others would likely want) is taken out of circulation. What a waste.
And you'd think I'd learn, but no. Next thing I do is go out and register myself as Jeff Hauze. I mean, I know Jeff had kind of a claim to it or something back at v0.2, but this is a fresh start full of new opportunities. Why can't I be Jeff Hauze for a while? I may not actually use it, but it'll be nice to have the option there. I mean, if the name was really that important to him, he would have stayed on as Admin so he could get in here early and lay claim to whatever he wanted, right? Obviously, he had other priorities.
I'm thinking the next names I want are Brother Justice, Earl Hollar, and Caz & Thorn (all one name, so I can pretend to be both of them at once).

At least I only took my favorite ones...MIKE, sheesh, I mean, what if my Dad wanted to log on to Bulldrek...hrm? What would he use? Of course I don't want him logging onto bulldrek...so, THANK YOU!

Wow. And here I thought this thread was going to be Bethie scolding us all for the big landgrab on nicks.
And I was all ready to feel guilty for having taken the Ungamunga Troll Brigade. (Hey, I'm their wrangler!)
Caz&Thorn as a nick? Y'all are some sick fuckers. Can you imagine that? Me getting all Auntie Thorn on someone while Caz rips their arms off. I can just see it:
T: Well, you know, if your girlfriend is really that important to you, maybe you should put down the video game controller for a bit and ask what /she'd/ like to do. It won't kill you to do it, and I bet it would mean an awful lot to her.
C: Or, I could just noogie you until you skull caves in, and then make polenta out of your gray matter!!

Oh. So many smilies. It's like, temptation, seeing them right *there* as you're making your post. This one's cute. Definitely.
You know, this is really pretty lame when it comes to 'memorable first posts'.
It's 2022, the Bulldrek.com Reunion. A creaky and grey 32 mounts the podium... quiet, peanut gallery... and coughs into the microphone. "And now, the award for dullest and most unmemorable first post on bulldrek.com goes to... uh..." he squints at the piece of paper "...Jestyr. Whoever that was."

lucky for me.
No one wanted Serious Paul. I really should nab Paul, but I am too lazy.
