Guest Incandenza Report post Posted July 15, 2002 After much soul searching, I realized post counts mean very little. Sure, people are likely to pay more attention to someone with a high post count, but that's due to the fact that there are so many members on this board, that it is easy to lose track of who's who. It wasn't until two months after I joined this board that I feel people began to really take notice of me, and that was thanks to a particularly strong showing during the One-and-Only King of the Ring thread on the night of the PPV. Unfortunately, all this time, my screen name was--still is--misspelled. I was unwilling to change it, though, because I did not want to lose my post count. But why? Why should I be proud of something that shows I spend a lot of time talking to imaginary people on the internet--with an incorrectly spelled name, no less? So I've decided that post count be damned, I could no longer stand my current screen name, and I was determined to change it to its proper spelling: Incandenza. So I go about registering anew, and then I transferred my Gay Porn Jerry Lawler avatar and Fucking sig pic--along with some Fun Facts about the incadenza of old--to my new account. I then went to this here General Chat board, and was all prepared to start a new topic about my name change, but, silly me, I forgot to check me email so I could finalize my new account and post here. This is when the problem came about: I go check my email about 15 minutes after I registered here, and there was nothing. As soon as I saw nothing there, it hit me: My Incandenza account listed my address as being ____ [email protected], when in fact I had the same handle but at msn.com. So some unsuspecting fellow (who's email address shall remain unnamed so as to protect the innocent--hence the blanks) is now registered here at the Smart Marks, though it's likely he's never watched wrestling in his life. D'oh! In summation, if I want a new screen name, I'm going to have to come up with something completely different. I don't know if I will--I really wanted to be Incandenza--but this story only proves that there are some things I can NEVER do right. ::sighs:: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted July 15, 2002 I'm sure there are ways that the admins can boost up your post count to what it was before (if you really wanted them to do it). I mean, half of the "Top 10" posters have padded post counts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted July 15, 2002 Considering the circumstances, I'd be willing to add 1136 to your current post count, if you really want your original total back. I'm not in favor of "padded" post counts, but yours is certainly not a typical situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the new name, but I'm missing that hollow sense of self-confidence that the high post count brought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted July 16, 2002 I second the motion for diddling with his count. And also restoring the Eyeball Kid moniker, cuz he probably needs a couple o' quid... (Jingus realizes that himself and Incandenza are the only people on the board who'll get that reference, and leaves quickly.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted July 17, 2002 Note to self: Find out what the hell a quid is, and why a couple o' 'em are so important... Also... why the hell did you capitalize the I? That's wrong dude... j/k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
