Handle id #25886 : Soren
I very much understand Jeff changing his nick to Soren. I was thinking about that several times aswell, there is no need behind a nick anymore for the chance of being caught. And 'Rough' - I picked this when I was 14 and thought it was cool. Meanwhile I don't like it anymore except for some nostalgic empathy, the nick name sounds harsh and not cool.
Did anybody else think about using another nick after all these centuries when we grew up? (at least are supposed to...) |

I've always liked the idea of handles in the scene. It adds to the feeling that the scene is something else than the real world. Real names often sound dull, but with a handle you can feel like a super hero. |

Cruzer: I fully understand that :) I don't know if I would ever want to feel like a super hero though. I am pretty alright with being on a human level and just do the things I like doing. :) |

handle changers are kind of sissies in my eyes. be a man and stick to your name, damnit! :) also think of the trouble you cause to all the scene members, changing a handle association in the brain takes years, and induces mental pain.
soren/jeff is not a bad case tho, as for some reason I already knew him as soren too. you'll always stay the superhero techno-bass masta jeff for me anyway. |

Changing your handle to your surname just to express that you've matured in a sense, whilst sticking to, and being an active part of a community which is based around an ancient, outdated gaming platform and primarily consists of 30-40 year old geeks with sketchy pseudonyms mostly acting like unripe teenagers is, well, tad ironic to me, but whatever tickles your pickle :)
That said, one of the first SIDs I've successfully ripped and used in most of my contact-notes stated "by Soren Lund" at $1000. I didn't know it was Jeff for years, so Soren really stuck with me, even after I connected the two. |

I really am so sorry that I at some point changed from my real name to "Jeff" :D |
