List of forum user name changes

Aren't we all?

 

So is it possible to reserve a name for future use?

I was thinking about "Cosmos"...

 

Is it possible to change "Jaws" to "j^aws", as quoted in lower case?

And will this affect searching in any way, e.g. old posts or threads that I may have posted?

 

j to the aws?

 

I think it's more a shark dorsal fin, but don't know for sure.

 

Yes. Please deposit 800 microsoft points on B3D's account. Thank you and have a nice day.

Your old posts will be under the new name.

 

I think the ^ is meant to be a shark tooth.

Why not Jâws then? Or Jââââws.

 

@ homerdog; Shifty Geezer and Arwin: Individually you're all partially correct, and collectively close...

Firstly: "Jaws" not only contains a few initials from my name, but it's also one of my all-time favourite films. However, I didn't want it to be associated with the hilariously bad (and therefore awesome!) character from the James Bond films... So I put a "^" between the first 2 letters to represent a "shark fin"... This is the literal representation of the username...

Secondly: I didn't want to use a 'circumflex' to modify the pronunciation of "Jaws", but to use it allegorically, in more than one sense. And "Tooth" is a word that you can easily associate with a shark, e.g. It can bite back...

Thirdly: It's all lower case because this allegorically represents my interest in mathematical expressions, specifically Complex Numbers. It reads:

j^(aws)

... The expression itself doesn't mean anything specific, it represents a theme for Complex Numbers; their simplicity and the complexity they 'hide'... A capital "J" for example, could represent a Jacobian Matrix; instead the lowercase "j" represents Imaginary Unit "j" (aka "i") etc... The symbols themselves are often found in various functions and formulae...

Anyway, It's been so long that I almost forgot why; I think I originally tried to register (old forums) with j^aws, but I had some trouble for some reason and just settled with Jaws. I've used the username j^aws almost as long as a Jaws, but on other forums though; it's kinda weird coming back to "Jaws".

Okay that's cool. Please let me know when it's done. And a sincere thank you in advance is worth more, and will last longer than any MS points, or console! ;P

 

I have to say, j^aws is a silly name.

 

^^ Thank you, but beware; a white shark likes the taste of Bludd. Even an jmaginary one, lurking below a dorsal fin, can strike a wayward half-a-bee; a stingless bee, is now a marked bee. Beware bee.

 

Major Bludd is an Aussie. He ain't no afraid of no puny old shark, mate.

 

I want to change my name to PhysX. Thanks.

 

Which mods/ staff have the power (no pun intended) to change names? Just asking, so I don't have to chase anyone in particular...

jmagine a white shark, roaming the planes of Mother Earth; its mate is its sensor, and blood is its major. It makes no distinction between bees, nor Aussies; it just be. It's neither puny nor old, but imaginary and timeless; it just be.

^^ Cheers, Rys. Everything seems to be working fine; I feel all 'shiny' and 'new'!

 

When did Jaws turn French?

 

Who did he surrender to?

 

It does occasionally turn French, but only for their bread-like cuisine. The kind its jaws can nonchalantly nibble and gnaw on; and serrate the spleen. The kind that smells like crunchy-blood; buttered-blood, to surrender to, with a hint of lime. And blood-like wine, that tastes sublime; cultured by Space, and Father Time.

any chance of chaning eb to goonergaz? reason being goonergaz is my xbl and psn identity so therefore helps lessen confusion

Thanks in advance

 

But eb takes less bandwidth and the site is slow enough already.
