This reminds me of one forum were I used to hang out a lot. Nowadays my subscription for the magazine where the board belonged to has expired and gone are the odd 8 years of posting and all the friends.
Anyway, the forum is famous for it's rule which prohibits people to use nicknames. youy can only use your full name whith also a tagged nick at the end. This way all the conversations become very personal, when you must face the consequences of your bad talk and can't hide behind a nickname. Still, this one day where many of us forumers where talking this or that, something game related, one of us mentioned System Shock and it's sequel and later we talked about how scary the crazied AI, Shodan, was in the game. Suddenly, a new poster entered the conversation reciting one line of Shodan's from the game's dialogue. Everyone told they'd burst out laughing. Why? Well, the new poster was named SHODAN and his nicname-tag was Citadel Station! Most fun in this was the beforementioned
fact, that you could register only whith your full name. One of the moderators was playing an april fools for the whole forum. Some of us began encouraging others to ask "SHODAN" out for dates and told him we're in love! He answered whith the Shodan-talk(p-p-p-pathetic h-h-hacker!) it went on for the whole thread.
