[SIZE=1]wow, so many people love me :D[/SIZE]
ok, they’re not really putting the (F)'s because they love me…
but anyway, this is a first for me. never seen so many people putting similar things in their display names. just goes to show how easy it is to start a movement via the internet… :pa:
anyone else got a similar contact list at some point in time?

back in the day after 9/11 my old counterstrike clan put USA in front of all our tags…that day and for several days after almost every american counterstrike player had USA and the state they were from in their player handle.

Couple of guys from school and I once did the Matrix thing, don’t know if you’ve heard of it.
One guy starts off, with the msn name “Agent Smith”, saying “Mr.Anderson… Welcome back… WE’ve… Missed you… Now you are one of us (change your name to Agent Smith)” to some random guy. Then pretty quickly (in an hour or so), everyone’s msn list was Agent Smith. Pretty funny :lol:

indeed, but nevertheless how long it’s been, still a lot of respect for the victims & their families…

no i mean well, not that i dont bother about the problems - i dont bother about putting the (f) in my display name because it’s not like it’s gonna do any good. sometimes i even find it hypocritical - some people dont really mean it and just do it because everyone’s in on it. (or to pick up girls, in some cases 😉 )

no one ever copies my MSN nicknames. But I have never seen people on my contact list adopt these respectful words either.

Maybe they do it because they realise they can’t really change anything, but still want to do _something_, show some respect and (pretend?) they actually care. That’s why they add stuff to their names or forward messages trough msn… :sigh:
