Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

This is true, only if we still have any websites that allow user created material.

the hell is a screen name anymore these days? There are thousands of places which require a username, they don't all share a database and we certainly wont be using the same ones then. I think we will be fine.

More and more screen names will contain unnecessary amounts of X's, numbers, and random CAP's. The horror...

Yeah I just had the problem. I solved it by adding adding a second letter (see above) Now it's a mutant.

Actually, as someone who got into the Diablo III beta recently, I had to make one of their new battletags. Which lets you choose any (appropriate) name you want.

It adds a # and 4 numbers at the end of your name but makes that part invisible it seems. Allowing you to have any name you want.

I'm thinking that will become more common as time marches on.

Phone numbers too...Eastern Nebraska just had to add another area code to fit in all the numbers it needed.

I will now congratulate myself on the most boring comment of all time.

Then I learned more about it and stopped worrying...
