What is that?! I'm confused...

[Kel - 420]

WTF?

"Selected user names of the Flash forum Kirupaforum"

[Jubba]

yeah that is so weird... I was searching the web for my user name... apparently Jubba is a river/valley somewhere in asia... but yea... i came across that...

[mjULTRA]

it appears to be an old kirupa forum member list.

i found bcogswell11, liveaccoustic, dan4885, I am not Jubba, Iammontoya, ilyaslamasse, and even someone named phil jayhen....

[Jubba]

well I realize that... lol, but what the hell is it doing there!?!?

[senocular]

yay Im not on the hitlist!

[eilsoe]

what the...?

hm... fanatic fansters... :P

[mjULTRA]

perhaps its a list of potential threats to national security...

[Ryall]

ne neither.... phew

[Jubba]

Yeah that list is from the old EzBoard days... but i don't understand...

[ahmed]

on their homepage. it says 'now you can name everything, even things that havent been invented yet.'.. maybe those are some suggestion for products names :beam:

I know Id buy a "Phil Jayhan" if I had the chance to!

[reverendflash]

that sounds like some sort of "lubrication" to me....

"Put some Phil Jayhan on that wheel, it's squeaking something fierce."

:beam:

[senocular]

...howd you find that anyway jubba? I think Ill google senocular and see what comes up =) probably just a bunch of forum posts haha :-\

[Jubba]

i searched google for "Jubba kirupaforum" and that was one of the results...

[senocular]

lol I found mostly posts with senocular but I found a few cool things like senocular helping with bug fixes etc - but my favorite was this:


It's no longer necessary to have a cable connection while viewing these images.
(I've had some complaints from non-cable users about lag)
*cough*Senocular*cough*


ah, its nice to be influential ;)

[Jubba]

lol

This is incredibly weird.

Heres the list in English...

http://www.thewordcompany.de/start/english.htm

then click on "Words a Dozen", then "Names used by visitors of the Flash forum Kirupaforum"


Weird... I guess they planned on stealing peoples names for products without names or something. Thats kind of ignorant if you ask me :angry:

[senocular]

its just a commentary on copyright and plagiarism - whos to say who owns any one word? Its like some recent depates with domain names where one 'normal' person might have the same name as a famous person but the famous person will take the lesser known person to court to get the site URL because their name is like a trademark for them. Kirupa member names is just one of many misc. examples of people claiming names to be their own. Who owns senocular? Do I? I use it all the time but that doesnt prevent anyone else from doing so. Can I stop them if they do? Does my use and the reputation I have with this name give me any legal right to its use? The boundries are fairly blurred.

[lostinbeta]

Uh oh... do I feel an "ordered" conversation coming on :q:

hehe.

[Alex]

im glad im not on there. that is really weird. when ever i search for members names, i always find something weird...

strange... very strange

[Ryall]

I ran a search, and apparently alot of people have the last name Ryall - I mainly found [insert a first name here] Ryall's home page sites... hee hee one of them has his PhD: sweet!

Peace

[Ryall]

..but about the whole using screen names for products: whhhaaaaaa????

I mean what would some one make and call it a 'Ryall' or a 'Jubba' or a 'Lostinbeta' or a.... I mean it just seems like a strange place to be finding product names, and not a very useful one at that.

Peace

[lostinbeta]

LOL... I ran a search on my real name and one of the links it returned was a link to a newspaper article about my art class going to New York to distribute these big banner things we painted (man they took forever to paint). The best thing about this article is when they call my girlfriend a <B>Junior</B>... she was so mad because she was a Senior and she told the reporter that... good times... good times hehe.

As for the only entries with my name that weren't me....

1) Apparently someone has my name here...

2) And aparently another nature lover guy here...
