Is there a reason lots of people have been changing their names?

A and N

I think this started with Helka Homba

Doorknob

@Downgoat says the guy who changed his name

Downgoat

@Doorknob that was in November...

PhiNotPi

You can put my name on the list that won't change.

And my avatar.

Downgoat

var reps = [
  ["Helka Homba", "Calvin's Hobbies"],
  ["Helka", "Calvin"],
  ["fItaJ.png", "qkXJy.png"],
  ["Aqua Tart", "quartata"],
  ["Don Musolini", "Luis Mendo"],
  ["DonMusolini", "LuisMendo"]
  ["AandN", "Adnan"],
  ["A and N", "Adnan"],
  ["Code Review", "the evil code reviewers"]

that's everyone who's changed their names right?

Coincidence that they are both Minecraft-related?

Downgoat

@PhiNotPi yup

Doorknob

@PhiNotPi I THINK NOT

@Downgoat I'd request that Lynn remain Lynn, since that's now her preferred name.

VoteToClose

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ wat

Downgoat

@AlexA. oh okay

Quill

["Code Review", "the evil code reviewers"]

I think you've got an error in your code

orlp

01:20

@AlexA. who was lynn again

I'm terrible at names

Alex A.

Mauris

quintopia

what's up

Downgoat

> undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RegExp')

ಠ_ಠ

I hate JavaScript

Maltysen

can you make a userscript with just the reps?

orlp

@Downgoat that's a tautology

I Go Best

01:23

So it's a straight regex replace for the whole document? Quick, someone change their name to the.

Downgoat

@IGoBest D: please no

orlp

javascript implies self-loathing for using it and and hatred for the language

@IGoBest I'm going to rename myself Cloud

for people with cloud-to-butt installed

A and N

@orlp lol, you must be dutch

mınxomaτ

@AandN wat

orlp

@AandN why?

Alex A.

01:25

@orlp Why not just name yourself Butt so that everyone can benefit, regardless of whether they have Cloud-to-Butt?

orlp

@AlexA. because my solution is subtle

you can get creative too

"Up the cloud" seems fairly innocent

I Go Best

So then it'd be replaced to orlp-to-butt? Ok I guess..

Alex A.

This gives a whole new meaning to the "Little Chandler is sad, draw him a cloud to cheer him up" challenge.

Maltysen

>_<

A and N

@orlp I had a test about those things and needed to distinguish them from pleonasms

not sure if that is commonly done in other countries

orlp

01:27

@AandN please tell me that test contained "IBN nummer"?

:27869060 you tease

A and N

@orlp Hahaha, yes

didn't pass that test though

orlp

?!

isn't it pretty obvious

A and N

Well, that one is, but my Dutch teacher is kinda sadistic, so he picks the most difficult pleonasms and tautologies

Downgoat

@Maltysen Userscript to make everyone's username / avatar go back to normal

A and N

Half the class didn't pass the test :p

orlp

01:29

test me

A and N

hmm

let's see

"Hij zal moeten proberen te voorkomen dat dat zich niet herhaalt."

stumbled on this one

El'endia Starman

I understand none of those words. :P

A and N

hahaha

Downgoat

@Quill nope, seems right :P

I Go Best

@Downgoat Soooo, I should just change my name to another anagram every day or so until you give up?

VoteToClose

01:33

I implemented counting the text length of a number in Vitsy. :D Not a builtin.

Downgoat

@IGoBest oh no, please don't

El'endia Starman

I wonder if I should have at least some idea after like a year of practicing German or something. If the Germans name themselves Deutsch, which sounds exactly like Dutch does in English, there's got to be some commonality.

I Go Best

(as in, if people want to change their names, let them)

Downgoat

@IGoBest wait, you can only change yuor name every 30 days

I Go Best

Sure. There's no way around that.

VoteToClose

01:34

kek

RikerW

I didn't even realize @AandN changed his name.

VoteToClose

So... close!

RikerW

I though he was a new user. :P

@IGoBest oh god no

VoteToClose

If it was N and A it'd just be backwards.

RikerW

#BackToGeobits

Maltysen

01:35

^ after userscript

RikerW

wtf???

orlp

@AandN It's a pleonasm between "voorkomen" and "niet herhaalt", as making sure that something does not repeat implies that you have to prevent it from happening again, so the "voorkomen" is useless

VoteToClose

@Maltysen That looks bad.

I Go Best

Let's just say I have accounts on 55 SE sites, and you can change your name individually on all of them. Swap chat's parent user each day, etc.

RikerW

Oh @Downgoat you can't log in with the userscript on. :P

Sorry bud.

VoteToClose

01:35

@IGoBest O.o

orlp

@AandN the reason it's not a tautology is because "voorkomen" does not tell you that it has happened in the past, so it's not saying the exact same

RikerW

@Maltysen Can you see THIS??????

Maltysen

@RikerW what?

Downgoat

fixing...

try now

Maltysen

@Downgoat same problem

Downgoat

01:40

@Maltysen oh...

You can always try to delete the userscript and not reinstall it :/

I Go Best

There's a comma missing in the version I'm looking at.

After LuisMendo

Dennis

@VoteToPatience Done.

Maltysen

@Downgoat no, I just disabled it

RikerW

@Maltysen THIS??? THIS MESSAGE>

> patience

Maltysen

@RikerW you realize that I disabled the userscript, right

Downgoat

01:41

@Maltysen you can just install the other design userscript which has the same replacements and works

RikerW

[citation-needed]

@Maltysen oh.. Yeah totally.

A and N

@orlp That is correct, I didn't get it on the test. I knew it was something with "niet" and "voorkomen", but I thought it was a tautology.

VoteToClose

@Dennis ...why Patience?

orlp

@AandN now that was easy

you better bring me something hard this time

A and N

I suck at dutch :p

Dennis

01:42

@VoteToClose Because you asked for an explanation while I was typing it. :P

orlp

@AandN be careful

VoteToClose

@Dennis Ohhhh, I wasn't sure what you were talking about. :D

orlp

some people here might have the dutch-to-penis addon installed

who is the maintainer of the userscript?

A and N

Hahahaha

Dennis

The what now?

orlp

01:43

@Dennis I mean

if this exists: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cloud-to-butt-plus/…

El'endia Starman

:27869329 Fitting.

Captain Stupid

rofl

@El'endiaStarman shutup.

Maltysen

:27869329 I don't think that's an anagram

El'endia Starman

(And I didn't have to refresh. :P)

Maltysen

orlp

01:44

who maintains the user script guys?

Captain Stupid

@Maltysen Nope. :P

orlp

I want it to replace orlp with ಠrlp

Captain Stupid

@Downgoat it doesn't onebox as a reply

@Downgoat ಠ________________________________________________________________ಠ

Downgoat

01:45

@orlp that's dumb

orlp

gotta paste just the link

Alex A.

@Quill You didn't use a reply so I didn't know who you were referring to. For all I know you could have been saying that you use the Dutch weiner extension addon.

El'endia Starman

Chat messages do normally onebox in replies.

orlp

@Downgoat wanna see something dumb?

Downgoat

@orlp please don't say chatgoat

Quill

01:46

@AlexA. lol, only on the weekends (it's okay)

Captain Stupid

Downgoat

damnit, i can't change my name yet

Alex A.

01:48

@undergroundmonorail The community is divided

undergroundmonorail

For the record I don't speak French or Spanish

Alex A.

Good

I Go Best

@undergroundmonorail I don't know how to answer this straw poll... I'd usually recommend the language you know best ;)

Dennis

@IGoBest sighs Now y'all just actively trying to confuse me.

orlp

how are you guys doing tonight? (ಠ⌣ಠ)

I Go Best

01:49

@Dennis At least I made it an obvious anagram and didn't change my avatar, right?

undergroundmonorail

@IGoBest I don't think they translated pokemon yellow into Python 2

I Go Best

Good thing, too. It'd be even more glitchy.

Quill

@IGoBest did you see the new Pokemon games :)

Maltysen

@IGoBest who are you? are you new here?

Alex A.

@somebody You can only change your username once per month.

somebody

01:50

i know

I Go Best

@Quill Yes @Malty Yes?

Quill

@AlexA. not necessarily, there is a walk around

I Go Best

Alex A.

I know

I Go Best

Except I'd call it a workaround.

9cHeruinr96a

01:51

@Quill Learn me how

Captain Stupid

@orlp done.

Quill

@9cHeruinr96a sign up to a new se site, and change your name there and click apply to every community

Captain Stupid

But it broke chat messages. WTF?

orlp

MUHAHAHA

Captain Stupid

I can't send stuff with the userscript on some js monk pls halp

Alex A.

01:52

@Quill I was trying not to advocate the mass username changes, hence no mention of the workaround. -_-

orlp

(I dno)

I Go Best

@Quill Alternatively, if you already have more than one, just change it on one originally. Then you can use another to globally change back.

Alex A.

Or just ask a mod to change it for you.

Quill

@AlexA. Hand someone a gun and you're not necessarily responsible if they shoot themselves in the foot

Downgoat

@CaptainStupid can't send what?

Captain Stupid

01:52

Yes, you are.

@Downgoat chat messages.

Downgoat

@CaptainStupid are you using the username userscript?

Captain Stupid

Enter newlines, send button does nothing.

@Downgoat No.

Maltysen

if there are 152 communities, and 30 day waiting period, that's 5.07 changes per day

Alex A.

@Quill I don't have any guns. People should always wear kevlar socks.

Downgoat

@CaptainStupid wait really??

Captain Stupid

01:53

Nope.

I Go Best

@Maltysen So much this

Captain Stupid

I advocate freedom of naming.

Quill

@AlexA. ;p

Captain Stupid

With out orlpness, the userscript works fine.

Downgoat

@CaptainStupid try updating

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

01:54

who is @captain?

Captain Stupid

But that bit of code screws it up.

Alex A.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ RikerW.

Captain Stupid

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ RikerW changed his name. :P

Downgoat

ok, now I'm confused

Captain Stupid

YAY FOR ME I IS STUPID

undergroundmonorail

01:54

@AlexA. studies show that having a ladder in your house is more dangerous than a gun. That's why I have 10 guns, in case some maniac tries to sneak in a ladder!

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

ಠ_ಠ

Captain Stupid

@Downgoat I changed the design userscript on @orlp's request.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Not on PPCG, on Sci-fi.

I can change back easily.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

ಠ_ಠ

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ should I?

@AlexA. refreshify my profile?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

And why would you? ^^

undergroundmonorail

01:56

I want to change my username to "A Goldenrod Inn Rumour" but having my name in all lowercase is very important to me and "agoldenrodinnrumour" just looks like a mess of letters

Captain Stupid

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ IDk

I Go Best

@undergroundmonorail Spaces count as lowercase too imo.

Alex A.

@CaptainStupid Done

Captain Stupid

damnit didn't work.

Downgoat

@undergroundmonorail is that like an anagram of your old username at least?

I should think of an anagram to change my username too...

undergroundmonorail

01:57

I mean, I've only ever had this username on SE

But yeah, it's an acronym

Captain Stupid

@Downgoat Toga Down.

I Go Best

I've had four I can recall: Geobits, Bigtoes, Generic Holiday Name, and the current one.

Captain Stupid

Generic holiday name?

LegionMammal978

I currently have 528 MB of B-files waiting to be uploaded to the OEIS

Captain Stupid

Actually that name?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

01:58

NO GEOBITS CHANGED HIS NAME

Captain Stupid

Yep.

I Go Best

It was during the holidays, and yes, that name.

Alex A.

@IGoBest The Current One is a pretty legit name.

Downgoat

Goat Lord

is an anagram of Downgoat

RikerW

lol

Nope

Maltysen

01:59

@Downgoat -3/10 not an anagram
