Title: Nick change
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 08, 2011, 03:34:02 pm

I decided to change my nickname to DJ_O, to get rid of the Omnimaga part. It seems that because this is part of my nick, people always see me like if I was the only admin of that site and loads me with all their requests/tasks instead of splitting it between all admins. I want this mentality to change. My first step was to move my nickname at the bottom of the staff list on the front page, but and I fear my nickname did not help at all. I'll stick to DJ Omnimaga elsewhere except here and Cemetech, since other forums aren't that active, anyway.

Maybe even just make it something like Kevin O?  that way there could be no misunderstanding.

And I agree with yuor mentality, btw.

But then, how would we know it's really you??

(half way kidding, btw)

thing is, maybe it's better if we forget whole DJ or Omnimaga part of the name, it pretty much makes it sound like he HAS to run everything.  Kevin O sounds quite relaxed instead 8)

"Kevin O" makes me think dirty thoughts.

...then again, those sorts of dirty thoughts are considered to be positive, so maybe that's alright?

How about DJ_OmNom  </unserious>

At first, I thought you were someone impersonating you. (opps. I really worded that poorly)

Oooh, I kinda like the sound of that.
How about "DJ_Omnom"?  It's a little too un-serious though.  :-\

DJ_Noms has a better sound to it
i don't think the change will result in any problems, as most people just call you dj anyways.

Yeah, everyone calls you just DJ. Why not just DJ? Sounds nice.

I personally think "DJ" is a little bit short.  :-\

Well, sometimes I go by only "J" on IRC.

Also, that's original because nobody goes that short, in my opinion.

DJ is more like a nick for a nick "wait is that even possible" But even DJ_O seems a little short. Also to direct more PM's and emails to other admins, maybe other admins should add "Omnimaga" to their nick. "unserious and serious" :-\

Eeems Omnimaga....hmmm Omnimaga Eeems...just not feeling it :/
But yeah, hopefully this nick change helps

I'm not feeling it either.  ZTrumpet-Omnimaga sounds like a hyphenated last name to me.  Cool idea though. :)

When I announced my possible nick change shortly before returning to staff last time (in the staff board), what I had in mind were DJ_O and DJ. I didn't consider the following nicks for various reasons:

-Kevin: Because there are many kevins around and it would get confusing
-Kevin_O: Because I don't really know if I want to have that nick back. I prefer going with an alias on forums
-DJ: Because it's used at many places and would lead to confusion in long terms. I don't want people on other forums to confuse me with somebody else
-DJ_Omni: Because A bunch of DJs on MySpace have this nickname and over here people may still think of me as the sole admin.
-DJ_Omnom: Because it's still close to DJ Omni and would make people think of me as the sole admin.

I got the DJ_O idea because of Cemetech's highlight feature on SAX, allowing people to highlight you by typing your nick's first 4 characters. I didn't like DJ O, however, so I went with DJ_O. It can mean Omnimaga or Ouellet, depending of what you want. :P

Well, that looks better once you explained it. And I love that double meaning thing :P

DJ_Ouellet sounds pretty cool, but I can understand why you don't want to do it. :)
