Calavera doesn't play Grim Fandango Zoidberg doesn't watch Futurama and Melancholy isn't sad

[Calavera]

It's a forum full of frauds!

You should name yourself after the current game or show you are watching.

[ian]

The only one who's real is me. And even I'm fake because I'm sure it will shock you all to know I go by Ian not ian in real life as opposed to what my creative username would have you believe.

I specifically chose ian not Ian as I was too lazy to have to push shift every time I logged in.

This was before phones would auto correct everything and all my devices remembered every password.

Around the time I first signed up for DCE many arcade games around me were littered with IAN because while most peasants had to use their initials, my name was so easy and to the point it could fit in the 3 character limit imposed by most arcade games at the time.

I could have used caps lock to sign in, but then I'd have to change my password which is a whole other hassle or would forget to turn it off and be shouting at you all all the time, which would be a bit rude.
