Cyber "Costumes" for Halloween

[Aaron]

Howdy everyone! :cowboy:

To celebrate the holiday, we will be allowing members to do a one time member name change just for Halloween. We figure that since you can't really "dress up" in the online medium that you can at least pose as someone for the day, and change your av and sig if you choose.

You can change your name to anything within the parameters laid out below, and it will be changed back for you after the holiday.

The rules are that you cannot choose the name of another existing member of the site, or any of the other member names that are restricted from use, such as "Stephen King". The rules concerning vulgarity in member names remain in place, as usual.

Post your name change requests in this thread and we will make the changes. Please note that if you have to log in after the change has been made that you will have to use the new username. Your personal password will be unaffected, of course. :grouphug:

Staff members who change their name will still have blue, green, or purple names,
in the case that you should need to message us about site issues.

[turtlex]

Okay - this thread needs to be pinned up high on the unread list or something... I completely got freaked out reading other posts and wondering what the heck happened?!?!?!

Happy Halloween!

[Brice]

That just adds to the fun of it. You can guess who people are before you find the thread. :D I had the same issue this morning. I could pin it, but I like the chaos. :evil: If there is an overwhelming amount of desire to pin it I will, but I think it's fun. :dance:

:lol:

I was actually kind of kidding about pinning it.

Oh figuring it out was fun, after the terror of having thought someone kidnapped my favorite site and stole all my friends!!!!

It was a real Orson Wells War of the Worlds moment for a second there!!! :panic:

I'm sure we'll have fun with it.

I remain, today and always, turtlex. :)

You want terrifying? Once upon a time on another site a bunch of people for Halloween decided to masquerade as all the most well known troublemakers from the old .net site. :rofl:

[jayson]

I'm with Brice on this. I am basking in the chaos. It's fun trying to figure out who's who.

Please change me to C. Brown

Thanks! This was a cool idea. :)

[Brice]

Cthulu loves chaos! :)

and he loves you too.

...for lunch. :innocent:

[cozener]

Oh oh....Pamela Anderson! And I want everyone to come play with my boobs! (especially Matt's wife)

[theBeamisHome]

ohhhh... i see... well since i've been forbidden to change my Dexter theme until after Halloween... change mine to DarkDefender..

[alinda]

I'd like to be Bloody Mary for the day!:panic:

[Brice]

:panic:

Bloody Mary!
Bloody Mary!!
Bloody Mary!!!

[wizardsrainbow]

A really cool idea Aaron! I was starting to freak first thing this morning till I caught sight of this thread. Pretty cool.

[alinda]

Costume~ make up!! :ninja:

[Hannah]

Oh oh....Pamela Anderson! And I want everyone to come play with my boobs! (especially Matt's wife)

Um, I hope you were serious about that. Because you are now Pam Anderson.

Can I be Death please, Rajizzo - I'm down with you baby :couple:

[CRinVA]

Hm.. Just for today I'd like to be CRAVIN

[Brice]

Just for today (assuming there are no objections) I'm changing the staff threads titles to correspond with their costumes. :D

[theBeamisHome]

yay! thanks!

[Hannah]

The Directors can't change their names due to protections within the admin panel that do not allow for changes in admin accounts. :cry:

So, everyone must call me Joan for the rest of the day.

CRAVIN and Death, you two are all set. :)

[Darkthoughts]

Cheers Hannah banana, or should I say Joan...T-Bone? :lol:

[fernandito]

Hey guys - can I get my username changed to The Dark Knight!


Thank you! :D

[theBeamisHome]

:rofl:

[Jean]

can I become Paddington if it's not too late? I can never pull a plausible Shardik anyway.

[Brice]

Joan, if this forum is like most there is a way the directors could change their names/account information, but it would be a pain in the ass to do for only one day.

[theBeamisHome]

i looooooovvvvvveee Paddington Bear... :wub:

[sarah]

I'll take scarah slime :D

[cozener]

Oh oh....Pamela Anderson! And I want everyone to come play with my boobs! (especially Matt's wife)

Um, I hope you were serious about that. Because you are now Pam Anderson. Sweet! So whose first?

[Aaron]

Done, done, and done. :D

Great choices so far, everyone. :clap:

[Jean]

I am Paddington!!! evviva Aaron!!!

Thanks so much!!

[sarah]

thank you!

[Matt]

Joan, if this forum is like most there is a way the directors could change their names/account information, but it would be a pain in the ass to do for only one day.

All the directors are hard coded into the config.php--not too bad to change.

I think we can change ourselves Hannah, just not do it to each other. :ninja:

EDIT--

Nope, we're not in costume this year. I tried to change myself and couldn't. If it's real important, I can alter the config.php

[idk, my bff jill?]

I'd like:

Casper

Please. :)

[Letti]

Ka, please. :D

[Pere Callahan]

michael myers please

With the candlestick, in the billards room.

[razz]

[The Lady of Shadows]

this is the most fun EVER! even my emails are from your cyber-costumes. yeah, i know "duh stupid of course they are" but it's so fun! whoever came up with this idea needs a raise and a promotion!!!!!!!

:D

:clap: :clap :clap:

and, here

:nana:

[Rjeso]

It is really cool idea. I'm a big fan. :D

[gsvec]

I just wish I had more time to enjoy it, but I'm busy, busy, busy! And all these strange names are confusing me . . :borg:

[alinda]

[razz]

question: will the names be reverted to normal automatically tomorrow, or will they stay like this for a while?
I think we should keep these until Monday, just for fun :D

[Ka-mai]

I didn't get a title, is there any reason?

Also, I agree with keeping them all weekend. I feel like this will be over too fast!

[MonteGss]

You have to buy a title with Beam Bucks...otherwise you are stuck with what the board selects for you. :D

[Ka-mai]

Ohhh ok.

I don't even know how many Beambucks I have... I don't really mess with that stuff.

[MonteGss]

Click on the Casino link at the top of the page and it should tell you. I don't really remember how many you need to change it.....don't worry, I've got plenty. I'll give you some. :D

[Ka-mai]

Aw, thanks.

Now I just have to think of what to change it to. :P

[razz]

you need 5000 for gold membership. i can pitch in a few if needed.

[Ka-mai]

:P I think I've got 5000 now.

[MonteGss]

:D
:grouphug:

[The Lady of Shadows]

if you're not at 5000 let us know, okay? :D

[MonteGss]

Already taken care of. :thumbsup:

[The Lady of Shadows]

:clap: :excited: :rose:

[razz]

:nana::nana::nana::nana:

[Matt]

I'll leave the decision to change them back up to Aaron. I took down the marquee since it's the "day after".

If you guys thought this was fun, maybe there is some way we can utilize it for other reasons and cool games. :thumbsup:

[razz]

well we could always make it into a game. list the names in a new thread. then we guess who's who. at the end. yell UNMASK! UNMASK! then we either change our names back to normal or die of the Red Death. :D

[Heather19]

that could be fun!

[razz]

what, dying of the Red Death?

[Ka-mai]

:rofl:

PS: I was very pleased to wake up today and see that I was still Evey. :huglove: for whoever kept it like this.

[jayson]

It's been fun trying to guess who is who. I think I've figured it all out by now.

I'm such a dork I even modified mine to a post-Halloween version of the Charlie Brown combo even if it's just for a day and a half.

[SigTauGimp]

So I'm guessing the disguises are staying on all week-end?? :excited:

[Matt]

Actually, I don't think so. I figure probably until the end of the day.

Aaron has not had a chance to come on but the different names are making it hard for people to figure out some weekly stuff done on the site.

[SigTauGimp]

Ahhh...well, fun's fun and done's done, I suppose.

It was a cool idea for the holiday. Thanks again to whomever came up with it.:grouphug:

[The Lady of Shadows]

:cool:

i'm still not me!

:thumbsup:

[razz]

and then we can look back and laugh, or forget about it, look back and say "who the fuck is cevsg?!"

[Hannah]

**Aaron posting**

I'll go ahead and let these stay until the end of today, and will change everyone back tomorrow. We won't be making any further changes, though. So if you didn't get it in before this, then you'll have to wait until next time.

I'm really glad that everyone had a good time with this. I thought it would be a fun way to shake things up a little bit. :grouphug:

[razz]

well we should get a list of the names anyways. and use them for a game.
you know what? this was so fun, the next gathering should be on Halloween. everyone meets masked, just so we can "UNMASK! UNMASK!"
at the end of a big party
:P

[Jackie]

Aw i missed out on it...:cry:


For me I would have just had Miss Krueger since thats what I was for Halloween :)
incase you were all wondering....:wtf:

[Jon]

Damn... with all the name changes...how will Satan ever find me again?

[SigTauGimp]

I'm pretty sure he's got you on speed-dial, Jon. :rofl:

[Sam]

That was so fucking COOL!!!! Like I said after the first time I had sex, I wanna do that again.

[razz]

:wtf:

[Aaron]

I am glad that everyone had a great time doing this!

We will definitely do it again in the future. :thumbsup:

I'll leave the thread open until tomorrow, and then we will go ahead and move it to the clearing. Thanks to everyone who participated. :clap:

[The Lady of Shadows]

oh damn. i'm me again. :(

[Jean]

the bear felt very good as Paddington

(though, of course, he is Paddington)

[jayson]

Excellent idea Aaron! That was a lot of fun. :)

[Sam]

I may have taken off my mask, but I think I'll keep the rest of the outfit on for a little while.
