    It came to my attention about...10 months ago that the name I've chosen for pretty much all of my online accounts and personas was spelled incorrectly.
    "Schwaum," is not a real word.
    "Schwamm," however, is. Perhaps when I've established myself as a forum personality and possibly (no rush, guys, I've not been here for a year yet) get a custom avatar this might be changed?
    Grossenschwamm is the proper vernacular.
    I just saw how Vorak had the "Richard" taken out, and I got to thinking, so this was my conclusion.

    Well compared to Vorak, your name should be simple. Still it wont be the same Gross...

    I fail to see how being a big sponge in any way correlates to being a giant radioactive lizard, but life is full of mysteries.

    I fail to see why this would have to wait, I've had my name changed as twice so far. :)

    Hey, thanks very much!
    It took me a little while to figure it out while I attempted to log in, but thanks for correcting my spelling error.

    Hey, no problem. Yeah, sent you an e-mail about it just in case, seems you figured it out on your own though.

    Did he ever have anything else than Xzbyte and Xz?

    Tonight I will happily raise a foaming mug of beer in the honour of Grossenschwamm without having to explain why he spells his name so funkily. Cheers! Toast! In advance!

    Teh POWAAAH! Well, with a rank like High King, I suppose that makes sense.

    Theoretically I guess we could have that as a special rank, though I find it impossible that anyone should ever meet the awesomeness requirements for having it.

    But what about a Prichard V0rak rank then? That one seems to be more attainable.

    That, or Whorerack. Not sure about which one is the higher rank though.

    Is there a rank of Philospohical Marvel available? I just realized I have been promoted to the Technological equivalent, and I'm feeling slightly uncomfortable with that appellation, seeing as how I absolutely suck at the tech side of things.

    If you're a good boy and drain the soil of enough nutrients, I'm sure you'll be a 10th level Paladin one day. :)

    I suddenly feel an urge to go play Alpha Centauri for some reason...

    But that will have to wait -- off with me to the store to pick up nutrients as recommended by the Darkest Elf of them all. Wassail!
