AI Thread Summary
Changing a username involves contacting a moderator, humorously referred to as "Greg," who has the power to grant such requests. The discussion playfully suggests that finding Greg is nearly impossible, but he will respond if called upon. Participants also engage in lighthearted banter about unique search phrases and name changes, with some expressing a desire to change their usernames to creative alternatives. The conversation takes a whimsical turn with references to a "golden horn of destiny" and fantasy elements. Ultimately, the thread combines humor with the practical aspect of username changes on the forum.

Bribe Greg.
 
where can I find this Greg?
 
This is no joke. You can not find Greg. Greg can find you though. And like most great people, he will respond to a call. Choose your name wisely, you may not get another chance. :smile:

I do the same thing when I can't find my car keys. Always works...except for that one time when the cyclops stole my car.
 
i'd like to be Hodranoel if it's possible.
 
Boulayo to Hodranoel?

Did you mean change your username or change your password?

Congratulations, Greg! I did a Google search for "golden horn of destiny" to see if I could find a picture to paste in here, and lo and behold, this thread came up at the top of the search results! Putting the phrase in quotes causes Google to give this thread as the only hit. Apparently no other pages on the web contain this exact phrase. :bugeye:

ISTR there's a name for this, or some sort of game where you try to find "unique" searches like this, but I can't remember it...

That's the word I was trying to remember! Thank you. :biggrin:

Actually this is more of an "exact phrase Googlewhack" which is easier than a two- or single-word Googlewhack. But it's still pretty impressive considering these are pretty common words. I was really expecting to find something that matches it, hopefully with a cool picture.

Hey, "cyclops at the end of the world" is also unique. Greg should try his hand at writing fantasy novels.

*cue awesome rock music*



I searched for "silver horn of destiny", with and without quotes, and its already taken.
"horn of destiny" is the name of a song.

I would mention the drink Greg just mentioned not tasting bad, but it might explain everything, and spoil the fun.

Ugh. The mind numbing machine that people have turned the internet into. Potentially the most revolutionary mind expanding tool in the universe, rendered into a sea of trivial uselessness.

Oh wait. Hey. This is kinda cool: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=Boulayo&word2=Hodranoel"

I was looking for something smooth ... X is a glitch like one bad child! I was hoping to remove it while holding unto most of my name. But thinking of it now, I carried X for like few years now and have started to accept it in small steps. I think I will just have to live with X for rest of my life.

I think that's when you try very hard to get your ox to do something.

Others have said they think it means to get an ox to pay your money so that you won't hurt it or burn down its barn, but I'm not buying it.:biggrin:
