That sounds awesome. Unfortunately as part of my relentless psychological warfare on a few of these well-adjusted adult men, I broke into their homes and replaced their mice with specially built ones that automatically stop on my posts when they’re trying to scroll past, zoom in so mine is the only one visible, and start playing Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” at full volume.
I also released a bunch of actual mice into their homes.

Were they labelled #1, #2, and #4?

It's true. He did this to me back in the day. Although, just to show he isn't entirely heartless, the mouse was an ergonomic vertical mouse that has saved me from the insidious and ever-present threat of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Also my cat appreciated getting to chase the actual mice.

I think every poster that's on here that has changed names should put the previous names in their signature.
Would be interesting as hell.

I'd just have my own name in my signature as well. Seems redundant.

I'm not active enough to know the personal histories, but is it safe to assume most of the name change lineage is due to ban evasions? I have seen some account name changes, but those are pretty rare, right?

Fairly. There have been a few VERY longtime posters who signed up with their real names that have been granted changes, because they've practically been here since before 'the internet.' Looking at you Bill Bumface!
I think there have been a few where they named themselves after a favourite player and that didnt end well.

Is there a limit to signature size? If so I am not sure ZM can fit all that.

Lol! Not to mention...this sounds like a very 'Soviet' kind of 'Report Yourself to the Local Party Headquarters' kind of plan!!

I think that it is rare fore most people. But there are always a few people who get banned and come back.
Zary's Mustache is the first time its been obvious to me who they were. CalgaryBlood.
Hockey talk is one thing, but they fights a person picks in the Off Topic Threads usually makes things clear.

I asked for a name change when Gio left - it never happened. But I suppose its for the best because I was just gonna substitute Tanev. Now what? Weegar?

Of course everyone is a returnee. It’s nothing but us old men screaming at each other about hockey until the last of us shuts off the lights. Pfft why bother banning anyone? Unless it’s personal grudges to keep someone banned it’s not like anyone is really that bad and if they are there’s a neat report post feature literally anyone is allowed to use. It’s not like most people don’t know who the returnees are, there are more than a few of them posting in this very thread.
Or we can keep with the whining and crying and accusations that create unrelated tangents in threads. That’s fine too since I crave chaos and it’s hilarious watching these things go off the rails.

Hopefully getting in on the ground floor is infinitely better than getting in on the ground floor with my Kylington jersey
