You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.

Bye-bye, 83!

Posted by Coop - November 30th, 2010


Well, after performing the most subtle of ruses in the Levelup! Lounge, nearly getting rumbled by gfox and having my cover blown by the fact that Tom didn't change my username for a few days, I have now been reborn as Coop. Get used to it, this is probably the only major username change that I'll ever have.

Sure, in the past, we did the fad ones, but they just aren't the same as something like this. Akin to Bahamut7 losing the 7 and creating an alt, Jolly did go and create an account called Coop83. His choice, but I kind of wanted to see what kind of sad bastard would run around the BBS pretending to be me, albeit armed with a lollipop. DENIED!

As for closer to home, now that the snow has started in earnest, I was considering taking my walking boots and hiking to work today. Since I had minions to drop off at school, I had to brave the roads in my new car, while cringing most of the way, as I can't afford a bargain like this again and don't want to get it pranged.

Now I need to consider how to get out of the office, should the snow get worse...

I was really close to making a "R.I.P. Coop83" thread where users could pay their dues. I was even going to post a link to 'for the fallen' in the audio portal.

Oh, well, good to see it was a joke. Nice name change btw. Gives me hope that one day an admin won't ignore my request and will change mine finally, lol.

Speak to Tom nicely and it will happen. If he asks though, I didn't tell you ;)

Glad you're not leaving lol, though I must ask, was it tempting to change it to Coop37 just to annoy the hell out of gfox? :P

Not at all - I don't want to anger him, for number one and for number two, what is the point of throwing two random numbers after my name, instead of 83?

coop83 > coop for worst name change BBS wards 2010

Oh come on. Timmy - TehSlapHappy and back again sucks more balls than mine!

Sweaty hairy ones, at that!

AWARD!

AWARD!

Coop without the 83 is like Lennon without McCartney.

Better than being like McCartney without Lennon - marrying a money grabbing one legged bandit.

Soup83 looks silly now.

Unless you're in the know.

Have fun out there in the real world, you were a good moderator.

You really didn't have a fucking clue what I just wrote, did you?

I'm going nowhere.

Looks much better, IMO. Less number-n00bishness.

Yeah, but you can tell from my very demeanour and conduct that n00bishness was left behind long and merry ago.

Looks a lot better this way. Good shit ol' bean.

Tally Ho!

D:

You're going on my naughty name-change list this year :(

Fuck you, Slappy

nice and simple i like it man :)

Hmm. I almost believed in your "it's been a good run" post.

Almost.

But hey, we've always called you Coop (and its alikes), omitting the 83 was a tradition. It looks good, but it will take a while to get used to.

Better than changing it to Coop69, or Coop666.

The number of people that have said to me over the years "why do you still have numbers at the end of your username" may just have got their point across. I just felt that the time was right.

Nice to see you are still here. Also nice name change Coop. It so reminds me of the guy who would polit the giant robot in MagusXLR. I would have been really sad if you were leaving us.

Sadly, this does mean that I will probably fade away eventually.

Too young. You think that a sense of humour like mine happens overnight?!

This has taken years of refinement.

Have fun out there in the real world, you were a good moderator. *Votes as worse mod* -Silentkat

I saw. If you'd noticed, I'd also commented. You fanboy like behaviour worries me sometimes.

Your stats suk maj0r c0k.

Yeah, well your opinion is a humble one :P

I had the same thoughts when Tom changed my username from pigeonmaster88 to ThePigeonMaster. Glad to see you're the Coop, now :P

Talking about username changes, I'm glad that I'm not very famous around here because, after 2 years as the TPM, nobody has created the account of pigeonmaster88 again :P

Glad you like it. I'd have been interested to see how many sad bastards there are out there that made Coop83 after the demise of the account name

WHY DID U DO A MEERKAT JOKE?!?!

Because I knew that Alexander was going to be hosting the World Cup with his Russian comrades in 2018 ;)

Coop is much sexier, welcome to the original name club.

Thanks very much - now I need to find some ways to stamp my name all over the place :P

Lols. If by nearly getting rumbled, you meant I nearly revealed your plan to all in the LUL before you were ready to actually get the namechange done... then I strongly doubt it, since I assumed you were going on a BBS break (semi-major), not getting a namechange done (minor, to me).... but if you meant that I might have convinced way too many people that it was nothing to worry about, since you'd never leave, then fair enough. Sorry for nearly ruining your funs. #;-}>

Still, half the people who were all "oh noeeee, Coop can't leave!" are still all "well, I'm glad he decided to stay after all!" and apparently haven't gotten that the old username is what was leaving all along. O_o

Oh, and TPM: now that you've said that, someone's gonna go and make a new account with your original username. JSYK. ;_;

*sigh* some people just don't know how to read an epic gfox quote chain.
