evilfusion Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 My least favorite that I've used? Uh...Evilfusion. That capital E looks horrid compared to the lowercase version. Seriously, I've never changed my username except to a capitalized version, which I hated and immediately changed back. Least favorite on the site? I don't really have one. The weirder usernames just don't hold to memory, and the people I see a lot, I usually remember them by a shortened version of that username...so when they change it to something completely different, it takes me like 3 weeks to realize who they are. Oh wait, any username following the format "Color" "Letter" Mage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsen Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I used to have usernames so bloody bad, that I was actually really happy when Yankee went name change happy on me, if only so that s*** like blacklustersoldier76, .:BleshB:. (wtf), GodPuppy (okay this one was actually pretty baller) could be lower down. I occasionally change it to one of them for shits and giggles, but damn, early days of internet weren't easy. Also, js, Amir sounds much sexier than some vampire prostitute s***. JS. Edit: also, someone gimme an overview of what Crab did? Guessing I missed this.

J-Max Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Haha I know exactly who who are on about evil XD *coughredwmagecough* Yeah, I also hate members who put a X at the end of their n- oh wait.... Damn it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 .Soul.Knight. was the worst name I ever had. Anything else I come up with is pure gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Edit: also, someone gimme an overview of what Crab did? Guessing I missed this. In terms of to specific members, no idea. Crab was hilariously over-snarky, and tended to criticize everything. While the majority of his/her points were valid, the delivery was purposefully insulting, so that amusement at the snark was at the expense of the target. The logic was usually sound, making it nigh-impossible to have a counterargument, and the target was usually riled up by the insulting and condescending tone and language, making it further difficult to make a rational response.

Thar Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I used to be tuffguy1992 when I first joined. Can't say it's that bad since I've been using it for everything at the time, but putting myself in a higher-up's shoes, I would understand why they thought it was a terrible name. BludMonkey is a close follow-up to tuffguy1992, if not for the lack of a hit of the space bar. But ~Gharvantium~ was by far the worst name I've come up with.

Northern Sage Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Northern was pretty awful. I was apparently thinking about that movie and extended it a bit. Herman the German irked me a lot, as for overall. But that probably had more to do with the member than the origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zauls Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Back in the over-complicated username decorations fad when usernames were just plagued with unnecessary symmetrical symbols at the beginnings and ends. I still have to log in as .:~w0rm~:. if I ever get logged out for some reason, which is a pain on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember seeing much of that. Crab Helmet looked more like a slightly eloquent buffoon with attitude issues than anything, especially considering how contrived it all looked. Really, I currently see droves of the kind in generic GameFAQs topics. I personally dislike usernames with meaningless numbers, myself. And underscores.

Kazooie Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 My least favorite username I've had would probably be Caeda in all honesty, but that's only because I like most of characters I've had as usernames since then much more. xD My least favorite username on the forum is harder and I don't have an answer for that. :'D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Guys can you please not judge your least favourite username for someone on the forum by the member themselves? That's tantamount to flaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on YCM since 2008, I know exactly what Crab was like. You perfectly describe him, but I was asking more about what he specifically did that he was mentioned if anything.

Dracoswag Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 A username with multiple numbers and/or something along the lines of this: Xx_(Insert 'edgy' anime name here)_xX ... Like seriously what is the point of the Lower/Capital Case 'X'. It does not look cool, it is not even remotely clever. My best guess it was made by a youngin going through a 'phase'.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I should note that we had a former moderator who did that: Shadius (but that was pre-2011, with XxShadiusxX or something; he no longer uses that.) Anyway, I really don't like my previous (and only other nick); it's really long to type for logins. The one I have now is much cleaner [though I still get called JK as a carryover]. As for other names I don't like, probably ones that look like a little kid made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You perfectly describe him, but I was asking more about what he specifically did that he was mentioned if anything. Well for one thing, she was kinda responsible for what happened to J-Max. I also recall that she somehow took the position of YCMaker or at least tried to alter the site to her liking, or at least the supposed benefits of the forums. She didn't really talk much but when she did catch up on something, the vulgarity was more appealing than the argument itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Any of my usernames that lasts for more than 3 weeks Well, probably Infinite*Rainbow. It was just based on a joke, and I didn't know that time that I wouldn't be able to change it for the next 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Probably not the place for it, but what happened to JMax? Also, Crab was a girl? I'm not sure if this confuses me or explains a lot. Commenting on the prior would surely result in unneeded dispute. In regards to the latter, Crab initially preferred being referred to as a male and then somewhere along the way made a comment about how he/she was actually a female and was purposefully vague with her/his gender due to sexism on the internet or something like that. People on the internet are generally confusing as fuck when it comes to gender, never understood why it mattered so much, honestly. You could have a penis, a vagina, or a stapler as your reproductive organ, either way I couldn't give less of a fuck, don't see why everyone else does.

You could have a penis, a vagina, or a stapler as your reproductive organ, either way I couldn't give less of a f***, don't see why everyone else does. I could very well comment on the importance of proper gender referral, but that would mot be something many others could relate to at all. Though I will say it is indeed important for me, regardless of how minuscule it may be for you or others. Anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
