i like the increased kittenageIt was long long ago before Cal changed the board (been a few changes since) you could all simultaneously have exactly the same name and so I suggested for one day everyone change their name to the same username (this was before we had had any 'name change days')
I envisioned a total blanket set of Fnords or something else and every message, every frontpage would all look like this one person gone hyper schitzo and there's be ages and pages of conversations all with the same username on every message.
The next day when ppl changed back you'd have been able to go and see exactly what was going on, but for that day, even for a few hours it would have been delightful chaos.
Not enough people shared my dream though, but I did get lots of ppl to change their name to celebrate the release of Blode 4. This was when apostophes and spaces would mess up the usernames though and lots of people got stranded (including me for a month).

YeahI made Ann Onnymouse and started posting a lot more than I had been and I was getting loads of frontpages. Never got my name sorted though until pep came along one day.

I found 'fnord'in the makefile for netatalk-1.6.0 the other week, and thought that's where you got it from!
