So today, I log on and as usual, some newb was talking crap to me, and since i just fixed my usb port yesterday on my cpomputer, i decided i would show him i wasnt a newb by pk'ing him, he seemed to think he could kill me. Anyways so i type /load sk8ermage and my browser comes up but doesnt load it, i look through the S" in my account and oddly, Sk8ermage has been turned to SkaterMage. So here i am, on the forums looking for an answer as to why my characters name has been changed. if i knew of any other characters with numbers besides E2 and Junior2 i would check to see if they have found, but i dont. junior2 hasnt been changed and i think e2 was deleted. anyways, im just here wondering why all of a sudden, after 2 years of my crit being Sk8ermage, why it was changed to SkaterMage without me requestion or paying for the change and why others with numbers havent been changed. and if you guys are cracking down on numbered names, at to why after 2 years of allowing old crits to have numbers, youve finally decided to remove them.

Having an original name changed sucks doesn't it?

Welcome to me and Mike's world.

I personally would love to see XXX changed to Xxx (no offense Maha) and same with GPS. But, Pandi has assured me that not many people know what XXX is, but they know who CKY is, and know all their 'foul lyrics'!

so all in all, I will rest my case on this last statement.

why exactly have certain rules been placed onto some people, and not others. i know yourself has said only 1 person gets initials capitalized, jlh. so why are people like XXX and GPS walking around, it seems like a backwards system here. but since my characters name was changed from Sk8ermage to SkaterMage, dont you think I should be able to change its name to what i want to, as SkaterMage just doesnt gave the same flare. just makes sense to me if a characters name is going to be changed in any form, that the person should have the choice to have it changed to what they would like within the new set of legal peremiters

Hey Ryan,

while i was staff, i ran a quiz - one of the questions so happened to be 'what does CKY stand for'

Not one person out of 100 gave me the correct answer.

I never said that lol. I have no idea what you're talking about. I have no idea who CKY is, other than a 'jackass' style tv program.

CKY is a band. CKY is a movie series that is formed around the show Jackass, although twice as funny. Yeah, it's vulgar and obscene.

But what TV shows aren't anymore? the more tits you show the better your ratings. I personally watch CKY and listen to CKY cause the band is just great, and the show is funny as hell.

I remember you saying that CKY had foul language or something of that sort.

It's fine, I'm not gunna whine, but I'd just like to see the names still against the systems requirements to be changed. Or let THC and CKY come back...... I vote for #2. :P

ok who cant say what XXX stands for anyone.

From the movie the XXX did have a meaning it didnt say it in the movie but the book did.

Xciting Xtreme Xstasy the description of the feelings that the man got when performing a stunt, all things that are not offensive to adults playing the game or to any governmental code anywhere. does it matter if all three Xs are caped no not at all because the crits name will be the same, and triple x can mean anything really.


THC on the other hand is the main thing that gives you a buzz in POT this is offensive to some adults and can be listed as a banned name.(not that I care as me and THC, not the player are old friends.)

CKY either TV show or band has lyrics and language that are rated as unsuitable to children, again could be on a banned name list.

as to if this is why I have no clue but this is my thoughts on it.

You could change the name XXX to lower case with two XXs and it wouldnt matter at all, while THC and CKY must be caped to mean what they are.

If you would like to give different meanings to the words, Lich. I can too. CKY could mean, Cats Kill Yarn.

But, in general terms, it's Camp Kill Yourself.

In general terms, XXX is porn. Period. Make up all the damn acronyms you want, that's what it means.

CKY is still the same when its Cky. I can still log it on and get 20 pages saying "DUDE I LOVE YOUR BAND!"

Either way, it's unfair. I don't complain much about rules. But I'm going to for this one. It's messed up.

Hell, GPS could mean GONADS turnip SEX! But it doesn't. And either way, I could take it offensively.

Do not try and make it out like I was targetting you, Lich. I'd much rather you have the name XXX and me get my CKY. But if CKY has to be down I really don't want anyone else being able to have a 3 caps name. It's purely not right.

All I am saying, is if anyone else besides JLH gets 3 caps, then I'd like CKY.

Don't care what it was made for. It's percieved as porn.

Don't make it out to be innocent, Lich.

It's not.

CKY is not bad. Many songs of theirs they don't swear.

You can choose a select few and find a swear word, boohoo?

If you can have XXX (porn) it's only fair to have CKY and THC. THC could mean The Happy Cat.

THC is also a company that produces video games.

We can go back and forth on this. Yes, XXX has different meanings.

The meaning everyone picks up is porn. I don't even know what the hell you were saying some xtreme xstacy whatever. It's still not as popular as the XXX meaning of porn.

Actually XXX isn't porn, xxx is used to indicate that there's a censored word. So if anything XXX is something good, it means a bad word is censored out :P

Here, I have an idea. Since Americans love to replace anythign cencored with the letter x, let's ban all crits that contain the letter x in their names. Xlibre might be pornlibre, how would we know? Heck, let's ban the letter x from the alphabet and ban anyone using it in open chat.

Get real people, the crit XXX was named after the movie with completely innocent intentions. Let me write to Sony and complain about the naming of the movie as well.

For all I care, rename the crit to xXx or Bob or Engelbert, won't change the crit itself.

Edit: I have to admit, it would sound kind of weird if you get killed by Engelbert's mighty cobalt staff, so maybe we should exclude Engelbert fromt the list of possible names :P

Edit2: Oh, and signing letters with xes and os is forbidden now too. Because you are signing it with porn o.0

I never said anything about the letter X. X in cojunction with 2 more capital X's, is a porn referance.

If you get XXX, it's only fair, because I find that offensive as THC or CKY, that we should get ours.

Yeah, and I'm sure 'tough luck' works for everything huh.

Don't like Pandilex selling item names for money?

Tough luck.

Trying to tell me to shut up over a name, that was original, and didn't have any harm, tough luck.

Don't post tough luck if you don't take the tough luck yourself. I fight for one thing, and you all have to pregnant dog.

I don't sit and flame people on forums, I just let it go. Well too bad, now me and Mike have to donate to get capitalized names, did GPS and XXX? Sure, Jurian donated, but he got a pic. Why does he get a name too?
