Oh memories.
I once had an account on a forum called "DidYouSeeThatDog", and I posted in the tech section a lot. One day it became apperant that there was a way to bump a post to the top of a section without actually leaving a post in the thread (however, the "Last Post By:" thing in the section would update), thanks to expoiting a bug in the word filtering code, and this act was colloquially called Necro-Bumping. So one day I created the account "NecroBumpist" just to mess with people, however, I actually did very little Necro-Bumping because it was frowned upon.

Anyway, I've been using this name a lot, as well as JustAPerson/JeanSprouts (which are anagrams for each other)

DidYouSeeThatDog
What kind of forum is it?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #167 on:** October 07, 2011, 09:37:06 pm »

My nickname originates from DJ Omnimaga actually. I was tired of getting so many requests because people thought I was the only site admin for having Omni in my nick, so I got rid of the mnimaga part in it. Now it looks almost like the O_O emoticon, though.

@NecroBumpist lol until now I always thought that JustAPers person on IRC was either {AP} or JustCause O.o. ANd yeah when you signed up I was a bit worried you would troll by necroposting on purpose lol

It was a forum for the kids game ROBLOX.
I've stopped visiting mainly because the tech/programming forum has degraded so badly in the past two years, or maybe I've just out grown it.
I don't know which, but I have chosen Omnimaga as my replacement in the foreseeable future;D

Hmm yeah I can see how a roblox forum would degrade fast. On Youtube i used to get a lot of haters on all my videos and guess what I always found when I checked their channel? They were Roblox or Pivot fans. It seems the game is ovveran by trolls and the pivot software seems used a lot by them too.

You make me feel so ashamed of my origins ;_;

Yes, the community as a whole, was terrible. But the Scripters section used to have quite decent discussion (at then it did, with my old perspective), but alas, now even that section has been tainted.

Though ROBLOX did give me one good thing. Programming.
I originally learnt Lua so I could make games there (something I never was actually good at), and in my time there I became one of the top Lua programmers amongst the forums. I've done so many different things with Lua, many of which I shared there, that Lua is my only language of choice. If I do anything related to programming, it is with Lua. I cannot tell if my mastery of Lua should be considered a hindrance, since C++ / Haskell look fun/useful, yet I just can't be bothered to learn or practice them, knowing that anything I want to do in one of those languages I would have to learn, I could easily do in Lua.

Lol don't worry. I doubt every Roblox fan are like that. It just seemed several I encountered were. I guess it doesn't help that it attracts a lot of kids, though. Not every kid on the Internet behaves properly or at least decently like our younger users.

Did the section about scripters went downhill becauise the ones in charge lost interest? Sometimes that happens to forums when some moderators leave.

As for Youtube I don,t have much issues except in the past I had a lot of problems with FL Studio fanboys in my music videos.

Yes, that was a massive contributor.
The ROBLOX company used to have player mods, but a few years ago demoted all mods under the age of 18.
Two of those player mods frequented the Scripters section, and they were extraordinary programmers.

In fact, almost all of my work with Lua assembly/bytecode is based in some manner on the work of one of those mods, named xLEGOx.

So yes, this hurt the Scripters section, but the game community as a whole quickly took up a downward trend as it became more popular.

Now all of the mods are apathetic interns who do a really poor job of maintaining the forums.

But, enough about my past! Onward to the future of Omnimaga!
I'm actually plotting out an on calc Lua IDE right now!

Spoiler For I can't resist listing planned features:

I saw some kid playing with something called Roblox at the library..so that's what that was
I thought it was minecraft at first

then realized the guy was holding an AK-47 instead of a pickaxe..

(Tho it didn't really seem like a kids game, somehow elementary-schoolers and people running around with daggers and the like killing each other prolly shouldn't mix :\)

BalancedFury · « **Reply #175 on:** October 08, 2011, 11:05:29 am »

Oh...
I thought Roblox was something like a kid's game...
Why wu=ould they hold AK-47?
o.O

My name just came to me when picking out a Runescape name

Unfortunately, one of my friends decided to take "Happybobjr" as their own name on Youtube...

My name is James Oldiges, and never has been Bob, nor am i happy all the time. nor am I a Jr (except this year in HS). Jr prevented the necessity of having a # at the end of the username

Hey! I'm not the only one to have a different name in my username!

Well, some people actually do call me Ralph, but that's a different story.

Jonius7 · « **Reply #179 on:** October 17, 2011, 03:40:23 pm »

Speaking of Runescape: Well Jonius7 IS my runescape name. Its the one I mainly use for playing multiplayer games as i created Jonius for DotA originally.
Now i use it for omnimaga because im not that smart here at omnimaga and really dumb to be honest [my former username was jhgenius], so to clear that, i changed my username to Jonius7. I would have done it earlier except for the possible confusion that might have happened with Jonimus, but now I don't have much of a choice.

On many other forums I can still be found as jhgenius or jhgenius01
