Support NeoGAF

[Ion Run It]

I've been thinking about this question for a while and been asking other NeoGafters. I would love to start up a conversation, maybe even getting some funny origins!

Now let me go first: This all happened here in OT. I just came and I was just getting to know everybody.
I posted a thread about borrowing my co workers' lunch and got some backlash.
That's how I got my tag, lol


Can't wait to see what you guys say!

 

[Rentahamster]

I think it's pretty self explanatory

 

[Soodanim]

By not doing anything memorable ever

same

 

[SJRB]

I always think less of users with a tag.

 

[Sardaukarama]

Im simply a member

 

[Ion Run It]

I always think less of users with a tag.

The feeling is mutual.

[Grenseal]

I was a Dreamcast 2 beta tester.

 

[Senua]

I have a memorable member

 

[DarkShadowXI]

Inspired by Shadow from Final Fantasy VI.

Not sure why I added Dark and XI, but I've stuck with it for many years on forums, though I've used others. I was actually on this forum in the very early days, along with other gaming forums before it.

I also love ninja stuff.

Edit: oh, we're talking about the tag underneath. I don't have one

I'm just a gold member to support this place

 

[Nobody_Important]

Because Evilore has a sense of humor lol

That conveniently leaves out the part about dildo archaeology though. Fess up.

Mine was given to me by the old mod stump when I first joined, since I created Enhanced Steam and initially joined GAF back in 2013 to answer questions people here were having about it.

Short for Escaflowne the anime.

 

[daffyduck]

OP, most of us haven't forgotten how you got your tags, no matter how many times you change your forum name.

 

[Loomy]

Short for Escaflowne the anime.

Dope.


I have no idea how I got mine. Huge mystery. Just showed up one day.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I posted a thread about borrowing my co workers' lunch and got some backlash.

To answer the question, I haven't done anything noteworthy enough. Might be a good thing since some most tags are Scarlet Letters lol

 

[Grenseal]

Because Evilore has a sense of humor lol

I think yours is the most memorable. Either that or the one about Phil's balls.

 

[MudoSkills]

I played Goodbye Volcano High to completion essentially only to entertain a handful of people in the thread here about it.

If it wasn't for OPs tag I wouldn't know who they are, seeing as they change their name every month.

 

[BillMaxwell]

Character from the Greatest American Hero.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Must be closing in on 20 years of service and still no tag.

 

[SatansReverence]

Can't even remember.

Probably insulting the type of Gaf member that ran away to a certain safe space in ~2018

 

[Puscifer]

I just like Puscifer. A lot.

 

[L*][*N*K]

Me and a friend of mine had similar names on another forum back in 2005-2006, I just always thought it was kinda cool so I kept it here too

 

[GymWolf]

I have a member between my legs, at least i think that's the reason.

 

[PonyStation4]

The number of people who've replied without reading the full title or OP post is disappointing

Got it for speaking the truth:

Opinion Poll  Thread 'Useless features in games: Petting animals'

Aug 8, 2026

This thread could be made into a series cause there's a lot of bloat in modern games, but I want to highlight petting animals here as a mini rant. What a waste of the player's time and the developer's.

Does anyone actually care about this useless shite feature? Do you regularly take your time to pet animals in video games to the point it is actually worth having this in a game ? And people wonder why games take years to make and cost a fortune to make. Useless bloat features that serve no actual purpose and have nothing to do with the core game itself.

I have a hard time remembering if...

Guys, don't confuse 'username tag' with 'username'

I got mine because I re-member the time. When we fell in love? Do you remember the time When we first met, girl? Do you remember the time (oh, I) When we fell in love? Do you remember the time?

There was some crazy thread about setting up a joke resetera website once when it got taken over and their admin there sold out all their mod team.

I was like 'I'll help I set up some crappy phPBB forum once' I think the last bit is added and taken from the bloke in Johnny Dngerously.

 

[NUTSO_JIMBO]

I used to have no tag at all… like it wouldn't even say 'member'

A mod once thought I was fishing for a tag so decided to make me entirely memberless… it was really cool and unique.

Unfortunately it looks like someone has undone this and I am now a regular old Member again

Summer Lesson

 

[winjer]

Was never "funny" enough to get one.

 

[Baemono]

I was framed

 

[Eesha]

i mostly lurk, therefore i don't need tags

 

[Windle Poons]

Was never "funny" enough to get one.

True. You usually make me have panic attacks about Windows fucking up - and that's not funny at all.

 

[Mengy]

I've had my tag for over a decade now so I don't remember exactly what I did to get it, but I believe I was defending Thor 2: The Dark World in its OT because I actually enjoyed the film a lot, and one of the mods took pity on me!

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

I keep trying to get the one that says Banned but I just never quite pull it off.

Well, at least I got that tag on Resetera.

 

[near]

OP needs a tag with a running counter showing how many times he's changed his username.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I used to have one before the forum update a while ago. The update stripped the tags.
It was something like - "seek ye holy ambrosia" - I don't remember the details on how I got it, something about old.

Very carefully.

On a side note, how did u get your avatar picture?

[Insane Metal]

Something to do with Christmas, don't remember exactly what.

Edit: it's not there anymore, it was something about Coal.

 

[Ion Run It]

Mirrors.

You are truly the G.O.A.T.

 

[Solarstrike]

Mine is a play on "The Last Starfighter" movie. One of my favorite movies of all time. Over the years I fought in many wars. But none as so important than having been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada.

 

[Sticks]

Mirrors.

I liked that movie
