your name was quite long and was stretching the boards which is why i believe it was shortened by one of the all powerful forum lords :ph34r:

Someone probably realized that your name was his name, too. He had to change it to avoid confusion.

well, it COULD be argued that i am THE johnjacobjingleheimerschmidt and that it is an insult to my name to take off the second half of it.  perhaps the whole point of hte name(well, this is truth) was to create a name SO long that admins would be unwillling to type it in in order to kick/ban me.  made things a little easier :_).  so taking part of my name away makes my name less of what it is...ish.

OLO h4x


all they have do is admin_ban userid13 or whatnot

[If you really wanted to be a llama you would use names that make HL eff up and spit out characters for names, making it impossible to ban/kick [unless they use the steamid, which is just an extra bit of work  :lol: ]


oh yeah, I guess I share his sentiments becuase of my e-mail address  :D

if i type in admin_ban john, adminmod will look through players with *john* in their name, if there is only one: goodnight, john. if not: it spits an error message at you.

(for even less typing, try "hmi")

well, you could always make 'heimerschmidt' a custom title for him. that way he gets his whole name whether he likes it or not. that'll teach him.

I'm glad a few people got the reference. When I think back to the torture sessions, also know as 'choir practice' in grade school when we had to sing that song along to a video of dancing kids with chipmunk voices who looked like they were all on very expensive amphetamines... well, the memory is a painful one, to say the least.

For the record, we just have to type in the first letter of your name and a box shows up with everyone whose name matched. We could just put in 'john' and you'd pop up for banning fun.

Reminder: In order to facilitate ease-of-communication, these boards enforce the use of the english language. Either that, or we all learn esperanto.

the ONLY way to make your name impossible to kick is to put a ~ in it.  This is possible by editing half-life files.  The end result is when the user attempts to type your name into the console, he closes it instead.  This can easly be evaded though a kick aginst a partial name, uniqueID, or steamID.  


I'd say those DoD admins were just idiots.  What a suprise there.

well redford, to tell you a horrible secret that i don't like to reveal...it's only ever been done once or twice :-(  i guess i'm just not good enough to be a hacker, and one of those times i was kicked beCAUSE i wouldn't change my name.  they were all like "OMG YOUR NAME IS LONG CHANGE IT NOW NOOB"

i cried and said...no.
