The only other one I’m aware is Rob, who made an appearance very recently.
There is both #news and #blog, although that second one might be locked down.
I do not recall ever being granted any kind of permission. If memory serves, Rob gave us kind of an informal “We’ll look the other way.” which is why we spent so much time coming up with a different name.
Likely, but probably not maliciously.
I don’t see why. We’re just another website in a sea of websites.
Yes, but it was also 100% my mistake. I didn’t realize at the time that it was a trade name. I just thought it was something the audience called themselves. It was important to me that we named ourselves. I wasn’t looking to change it immediately, but I expected it would change eventually.
As my mother would say, “Hide and watch.”
There is some protection in obscurity, for sure, but we have the proverbial bat under the counter in case some undesirables do show up.
I asked the same earlier this year. Remember those comments from users with names like anon_94668357? They used to show a username you’d recognise. The account with the old name is removed, and all activity from that account uses the anon_ name instead.
I went ahead and PMed Sekhmet about anonymising/anonymizing. Orenwolf responded to my request earlier in the week, but I think he may have interpreted it to mean wait-until-the-last-minute. plus, I’m sure he has so much to do right now and I’m paranoid it won’t get done
Still want to know who Sekhmet is in Clark Kent mode
