Board has to stay nimble. Can’t just add features even if beloved and respected posters ask for them in good faith. (nm)

Back to the board

Thread:

Nikos, a feature request is to bring back alias posts. I miss `Obitman`, `Capt. Louis Renault` and other humorous ones. and because this is moderated, there's almost no chance of abuse - By 6p September 26, 2026 at 01:46:51 PM
- Not sure I understand how this works but sounds potentially fun. * - By jhamm September 26, 2026 at 02:16:43 PM
  - the original victors board was truly the wild-west. that means there were no registered posters.you can type anything as your username and post. obviously, it was definitely abused but also a lot of humorous posts from alias handles* - By 6p September 26, 2026 at 02:23:43 PM
    - I think a lot of good serial alias handles were from Poster withnail. "Capt. Louis Renault" (for obvious things). "Enumclaw man" etc* - By 6p September 26, 2026 at 02:25:07 PM
- I can play around. Do others want this? please chime in everyone. * - By Nikos September 26, 2026 at 01:54:53 PM
  - Eh. Agree with suede that we don't want to have too many bells and whistles, and what's wrong with just putting the "obitman" part in the subject? Pass.* - By jjwalker September 26, 2026 at 02:22:38 PM
  - I would not care for a bunch of alias posts. Maybe 6p meant a dedicated alias anyone can post under* - By LewisBullox September 26, 2026 at 02:18:36 PM
    - Basically, I can pick a handle i.e. post as "Obitman". When you open the post, potentially when you hover over Obitman handle, it shows my original handle* - By 6p September 26, 2026 at 02:26:42 PM
  - Yes. Bring back ghost of EFWolverine, too. Minus the MAGA part * - By BMH75 September 26, 2026 at 02:04:04 PM

- Isn’t there a registered obitman? - By mgaelster September 26, 2026 at 01:48:31 PM
  - He's a poser. * - By Obitdude September 26, 2026 at 01:54:59 PM
    - Why should we believe you? * - By jhamm September 26, 2026 at 02:15:28 PM
      - Taunt obitman or obitdude at your own peril. I personally would never* - By Voltron Blue September 26, 2026 at 02:19:41 PM
        
        Oops. Shit. Not feeling so good. * - By jhamm September 26, 2026 at 03:06:11 PM
