SUCCESSFUL POST TIPS
 

offline xian_ecci from los angeles on 2003-03-06 16:17 [#00583583]
Points: 251 Status: Regular



Many new members feel they must begin with a username
that's directly linked to an aphex title, like Xepha, Quoth,
or milkman, to be properly recognized on an IDM board such
as xltronic.
After much research, i give you some suitable alternative
methods for creating your title.

Ten Ways to Make An Acceptable IDM User Name

1. adj./n. combination. These may be vaguely relevant or
completely insignificant conjunctions. makes a bold
impression.
ex: DirtyPriest, Cheap Magnet, Kill Switch, BlatantEcho,
CrippledGiraffe

2. n./n. combination
a la the legendary squarepusher.
ex: virginpusher, glasslicker, beatburglar, lizardfister,
Dolleater,

3. complicated title
usually contains one or more unlikey combinations of letter
which may or may not be verbalized. adds mystery.
ex: nhiiq, zxcvdsbrbthsr, mutilakcx, czhrtjd, zzzmiffzzz

4. X-dominant
X's are the tits!
ex: x0hx, X_X, pxoxoxpxy, xxxxS1Nxxxx, MrX

5. insert numbers into your name. these numbers may be
substitutes for similarly formed letters or sounds. tricky
and multi-leveled approach.
ex: TonePu5her, ReZiN8R, j4ck, gl1tch, fr33_styler

6. Combine upper and lower cases
this may add a quirky dimension to the name.
ex: GrUnTaThOn, BeOTeUeMe, sYNsITH, ZarathustrA, DeLtoiD

7. Remove the spaces
simply remove the blank character between words of a phrase
or sentence. strange, but meaningful.
ex: Soundfillsspace, babydieonchord, handoverthecart,
mylittlesister, dreamerofthedre

8. some rendition of a famous person or character. ironicly
flamboyant.
see: Anus_Presley, Jaysuz Jones, Bill_Hicks; Thelonius
Punk, billcosbydance

9. arbitrary thing. curious.
ex: Dinosaur, gin, Rabies, Tab, armchair

10. spell a common word differently.
endless possibilities for a clever name.
ex: Narkotic, hapie, PhystPhukt, qrter, phunquie

After much research

Please tell me you say that in jest!

:D

What you say makes sense though. Similar names are popping
up.

hard here to avoid saying: it's my artistsname 'cause
i'm no fuckin' artist by far yet :P )

Looks like some suicidegirls ho.

I don't see the attraction and I bet they all stink of
piss.

I much prefer Morton's Vanessa Mae avatar (although she
doesn't look that good in most pictures)

Thank you. This was a very informatively helpful post to me.
Have you thought about writing material aimed specifically
at the troll minority like myself? There's less of us, so
you'd THINK you'd have less book sales, but think about it.
We're rich. We live under bridges and steal the treasures of
bridge-crossers all day! You can triple the price of your
books and we'd still have enough money to pay for it. The
demand for information on trollism is very high so we'll pay
almost anything.

Names are quite attention grabbing. Combined with a good
avatar, then it makes a new person stand out a bit.

I like the fact my name didn't crop up in this post tho. I
like to be uncatagorical in real life too :)

whoever has to introduce himself after more than 150 posts
appears to have chosen not such a remarkable name, since it
wouldn't be nessecary otherwise...

woosh..that didn't sound very nice, quick morton quick type
some smileys!!!

I think I have the most boring name/avatar combo at

I suggest a nice bonfire to roast smores out of the hardcopy

just relax and be yourself...

If you don't like your current name, flea, just make a new
messageboard account! It's easy and is totally permitted by
phobiazero and his moderator army.

Oh, I was banned (probably) because I had 2 accounts peter
(but don't tell flea, heh heh).
I don't know the REEEEAAAAAAAAL reason FOR SURE though....
it is a mystery. It truly is. But as I told binaural tea, my
theory that is the most supported with evidence is that the
moderators had penis envy.

happen :)

i'll keep her for my own :P
