When did people here jump on the trend of pluralizing words/adjectives in ways that don't exist for usernames? I know everyone's desperate to look ~fancy~ and ~cool~ but they're jarring to read.

[(Anonymous)]

years ago and it was actually dying lately

what took you so long

[(Anonymous)]

I see it more now than I did years ago personally. Just opening up a BS post there's at least four I could point out.

[(Anonymous)]

old lj trend making a comeback. username availability ain't what it used to be

[(Anonymous)]

especially when anons already get weird about underscores and probably some other things that would be useful

[(Anonymous)]

all because somebody they didn't like ages ago used underscores, so now underscores are tainted forever.

yet another reason this place is small and stagnant. too many fucking weirdos with hangups that make no goddamn sense to anyone else.

[(Anonymous)]

who even did underscore wank originate with

i feel like it was mike/that akira

[(Anonymous)]

tbh this is the first time i've actually seen anyone suggest there's a reason beyond it being ~*ugly*~ or arbitrarily ~~~***cringey***~~~

[(Anonymous)]

it literally was mike, him using tons of them as a giveaway was the only reason for the wank until the weird aesthetic crowd decided they don't like underscores anymore years later

[(Anonymous)]

hey, better question; why does it matter?

[(Anonymous)]

Like everything else on WG, it doesn't. They still sound stupid AF.

[(Anonymous)]

about as stupid as complaining about something so deeply inconsequential.

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much.

Congrats on finding the point of the comm

[(Anonymous)]

congrats on your barely conceived contempt for people calling you out on having a worthless gripe.

concealed. i meant to write concealed.

i'm embarrassed.

Re: sa

[(Anonymous)]

You should be.

But seriously I never said it wasn't a pointless, dumb thing to criticize. I'll sit in the stupid corner with the Lily Potter with the journal "lilys".

Re: sa

[(Anonymous)]

with that fuck-up, i'll sit in that corner with you, tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

the only thing anyone is desperate for is an available username, because denise won't ever purge abandoned/unused accounts

[(Anonymous)]

People have been doing it for years and YEARS, if you mean shit like idk "willsrobinsons" or "disarminglys". Not just on DW, but Tumblr and previously LJ too.

Tumblr also had a trend of multiplying Is, so you'd get some shit like "leiiasorgana".

It's not that deep, it's just increasingly harder to find usernames that aren't taken.

[(Anonymous)]

Personally I just hate having usernames with more than one word. It's done in desperation.

[(Anonymous)]

this. or when I think of a good username but it's taken. just add an s or ing, I'm not going to spend too much time on something so inconsequential

sa

[(Anonymous)]

yeah pretty much. when i get to that stage, i'm set on having that word as my username, and if adding an 's' is the only way to get it, that's what i'm doing.

[(Anonymous)]

i'm so glad that in this year of 2019, journal name wank is still alive and well.

literally who cares. if you think someones journal name is stupid or ugly or that its some deep reflection of who the player is as a person just ignore them and move on.
