Yes, world, I recently underwent a username change. Previously, I was known as "Tuckdogg" on Wikipedia and made several edits to pages in the WikiProject:Mixed Martial Arts space (amongst others). You may know me as "a guy who tried to make good, constructive edits to improve MMA-related pages", or as "that dick who kept reverting my edits!" I opted to change my name for several reasons; some are listed below.
The name "Tuckdogg" was kind of a stupid name I picked up in college twelve years ago. I got it by turning an old nickname (Tuck) into a "rapper name" for a skit. The name stuck for all of two weeks, but in that time I made a Hotmail account with it so I started using it online. I've been trying to phase it out as much as possible in recent years, and I think Wikipedia is about the only remaining place online that I even used it.
I've run into others online using the "Tuckdogg" name (not that I have any idea why). "Gromlakh" is much more unique, and I've never had any trouble registering that name anywhere. It's become more of my standard online identity.
"Gromlakh" is the name of my primary character on Ancient Anguish. I happen to like the name, and I also rather enjoy the MUD.
Really, "Tuckdogg" just sounds dumb.
So...there you have it. If anyone has any questions about it, drop me a line on my talk page. Gromlakh (talk) 16:06, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
