Who Are You? Or Who Were You?

[MoeBartoli]

Its been over 11 years since joining HF Boards and certainly many exceed that mark, while others of you joined more recently. While so many names are well known to us, many posters have an even longer history - just under a different user name or names.

In the prior incarnation, the user history profile was more reliable but much seems to have been lost in the migration (or other). Now my history is simple; I’ve also been MoeBartoli. But many of you have another “past life or lives”. ”. So……assuming your change wasn’t because of Witness Protection, I was wondering if all of you could share with everyone your prior user name(s). I‘m sure I and others will enjoy connecting some people and realize “ah” - you were “the poster formerly known as _________ “.

Here‘s hoping for good participation. BTW if you not changed, just let us know you’ve always been your current, well recognized moniker. Thanks in advance!

[Xoggz22]

Always been... I think 20 years now

 

[punk_o_holic]

Always had the same user name but I was originally an Oilers fan so I posted there and not here. Became a Rick Nash fan but not a Columbus fan. Maybe a year or two later, decided to cheer for both Edmonton and Columbus. Then it got to expensive to cheering for both teams so I ended up ditching Edmonton and became a full time Columbus fan. Probably around then is when I started to post here.

 

[pete goegan]

Pete was my first hockey hero and I’ll always remain loyal!

 

[majormajor]

I've had the same name since I first joined in 2012. I just lost the previous account a few years back so there was a very slight name change, but basically the same.

 

[EspenK]

Still EspenK and still grumpy.

 

[Byrral]

Same name and avatar since 2006.

 

[LJ7]

This is my first and only account

 

[OldGoaltender]

Was Oldgoalie in 04 but couldn’t remember my sign in (it’s tough getting old)

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Always been DSL, never upgraded to fiber or other high-speed internet.

Signed on to talk hockey during the ‘04 lockout. Glad to see there are still folks that predate that.

For those who don’t know (and if anyone cares), the name is an actual encouragement I shouted to then-Jackets coach Dave King (or maybe it was Dougie) late in a game during which Jackets great Lasse Pirjeta had scored two goals.

After I yelled it out, I made some sort of comment about it being my order at the coffee shop, which 8-10 people heard and 1-2 laughed at. I’ll take those numbers.

 

[cslebn]

Never used another user name.

 

[Youngguns80]

Mine was youngguns27 and joined in Jan 2021 officially, but occasionally visited the boards as a guest (to read not interact for about 5-6 years prior) and changed it to youngguns80 (which it will stay) last July the day Kivi passed.

 

[Monk]

I've been Monk since I joined in 2008. I enjoyed lurking prior to that.

 

[koteka]

Same name. Lurked before I joined.

Was always trying to figure that out - mystery solved.

 

[Jovavic]

I've had a bunch of names in my nearly 20 years on here. Some of them were Jovavic, FunkyColdHrdina, SampleMyGoods, Alan Shore, and I've forgotten probably just as many.

 

[Hello Johnny]

Oh hey, here's a thread for me.

I joined when I was 16 years old. I think my very first username was biscuitbasketer lol

I was really active on here under the name Ludicrous Speed, sporting this as my avatar:

When we acquired Brandon Saad I changed my name to Saad Panda, which references an episode of South Park. I live for obscure callbacks to stuff like this

The avatar of choice was David Bowie's Aladdin Sane:

I mentioned it in another thread but the current username, while an obvious nod to Panarin, is the title of an album by one of my favorite artists named Ty Segall. Just thought it was fitting, and again, I live for obscure references. My current avatar bears the cover of said album.

Here's a song from that record, just, well, because:


I'm probably not far away from a new username. Been thinking about some punny hockey stuff like "Halak It A Lot" or "Roy And Peace". Maybe something more CBJ related, like "Voracek Yourself" or "Sillinger Escape Plan". Maybe "Livin On A Thin Laine" for the obscure Kinks reference

God, I need a new hobby.

Oh nice, I always thought FunkyColdHrdina was HOF-worthy lol

Always loved the Aladdin Sane avata.

I thought Saad Panda was the greatest name ever.

 

[Hello Johnny]

I thought Saad Panda was the greatest name ever.

Thank you, I'll live off of this validation for at least a week haha

 

[Long Live Lyle]

Lurked for a while before joining a few years ago. It was right after Lyle Odelein's health scare that he thankfully survived. My parents were day one season ticket holders (and still are). I was at the CBJ's first ever game against the Blackhawks in 2000 when I was 8 years old. Lyle was my favorite player and my first CBJ jersey, probably just because he was the captain. So that led to the name. Plus alliteration is fun and neat.

 

[NotTooWideArena]

I was perusing this thread casually when I suddenly remembered that I used to post on here as TBJF. Back in the days of applauding Deron Quint and hoping for Sergei Mozyakin.

What a long strange trip it's been....

 

[Doggy]

Same name as eleven years ago when I first joined (though I have been a fan since the opening puck drop 20+ years ago. Still the same guy as I was then, just less hair and more waist. Back then I had no idea what Pickleball was...but now...I'm an addict
