Abbreviated version of your furry/screen name or full version?
« on: October 24, 2008, 09:20:34 pm »
Do you use an abbreviated version or a full version of your furry/screen name? I'm refering to use on the Internet not at cons or other real events.

I almost always go by my full name here. Although, someone once shortened my name to "Drac". I'll accept that but I'll also accept the full name.

Rock on Paul Simon! (:

Also: I prefer being called Arbutus. Arby is a little weird to me, and also makes me sound like fast food, which I don't like.

that was easy. if i'd gotten here sooner than him, i would have gotten it to. Kodachrome was better though.

Serathano can be shortened to Serath or something similar, but as long as it still makes sense, i dont care.

on here I go by the name of Black Foot, but I can be called Blackie, or B.F (I know it might get confused by something else which I'm not gonna mention on here which might get me a warning) but if you call me Dracodeus or Drake I'll respond to any of those.

No way! You've gotta go by M-squared! (MM)  :)

As for myself, I'm in the same situation as the cat I suppose. It's Lawrence or nothing!... maybe Lawl. ;)

Lol would you get over it?  That's how we were referring to you in IM and IRC.  Lol and i was NOT the first one to do it,  in fact i think others have done it in the board too.


Of course if you prefer we didn't it can be avoided,   :)  just say so.



Oh,   and i prefer my full,   but it's only 2 syllables,  so... lol

Weisseman get shortened to Weisse alot. If I'm playing a game that uses 3 letters I put WSN.

I tend to just go by Drachulf which usually gets shortened to Drachy or Drach.  It doesn't bother me when people shorten it.

When I first started posting here, I was kinda giving the fandom a trial run, so to speak.  My screen name is not the name of my fursona.  My SN is just my personal nickname and my last initial and my lucky number.  My fursona's name is Kayle, and I wished I'd used it as my SN now...

You can PM an admin like Blastdav or Kobuk and they'll change it for you. My name was Kaloyan_Alett but I had the underscore removed, I find it makes my name seem more natural.

Okay.  I PM'd Kobuk, so I've just gotta wait for him to get back to me.  Thanks for the advice, Kaloyan.
