That and all the short names were taken in the beginning so you have no choice but to do long user names.

Nah, there are some exceptions

I'm just sick of people with spaces in their names.

You are 3x cooler if your nickname is all lowercase.

Yes. Nice sig, by the way

It's because fusetalk is a buggy POS and doesn't enforce it's own character limit.

Anyone else notice that many of our "new" members often sign up with unreasonably long names? I've been here for some 6 or 7 years, but time and time again, the usernames that I notice screwing up formatting belong to users with new join dates.

Today's latest offender: UnbalancedCheckbook

I think many of these people are returning banned members....what say you ATOT?

Yeah - anything over 12 characters is excessive

11 characters if you include the one you can't use anymore since 2000

It's a general Internet trend. Old-schoolers know how to pick good names that they plan to use as an identity for a long time. "Kids these days" (/shakes cane) don't realize how stupid you look when we have to keep referring to you as FartMachine9000.

 

[MaxDepth]

I see your swartz is bigger than mine.

Actually, no. I didn't even know what nef meant until someone pointed it out to me in a thread a couple days ago, either.

Good thing I joined early.

Phew.

Maybe they are using that XBOX Live Gamertag generator where it just takes an adjective and a noun and throws them together:

SquishyChicken
ElongatedOgre
AlbinoCarrot

etc.

Are you suggesting that my email adddress of SuperStud69@hotmail.com might be a bad thing to put on my resume?

Oh nothing, I find a lot of them to be humorous :laugh: some of them are pretty original.
