Pokémon Topaze isn't on ticalc.org? O.O

Wasn't it finished a long while ago? ??? I think it should definitively go to ticalc.org (and maybe Omni archives) if that is the case.
It depends on your definition of "finished" :P
It is fully playable but it still needs a real item engine.
The reason why I didn't upload it to ticalc is that it requires an account, and an account requires my real name -.-°
If it didn't ask for my real name, I would make an account and upload it but eh :P

You can put a nickname as your real name, like Deep Thought did everywhere. That's what I originally did (it was Kevin Illusiat or Illusiat O or something), and if any staff complain (which I doubt) you can always beg them for more privacy.

Another thing you can do is use a variation of your nickname if it requires a last name: Hay for first name and Leia for last (like how Deep thought uses Deep as first name and T. Hought as last name).

I seriously doubt ticalc.org is as bad as Google for real name. On Google you can get banned if you don't use your real name, but if Deep Thought could get away with it for so long, then I can't imagine anything wrong happening on ticalc.org.

Funny, looking at the ticalc.org news it seems I'm the only one (except maybe Xeda) to whom they don't refer to by first name <_< That's nice of them.

I'd watch out for Princess Leia jokes though.
* Deep Thought runs
And yeah, I use T. Hought because Google and Facebook choke on the name "Deep Thought."

Google probably hasn't noticed yet.

Yep, I was referred to as 'Zeda "ThunderBolt" Elnara.' I'm still not sure why I use 'Elnara', but I do go by the name Zeda almost everywhere.

I'm also surprised about Google o.O I didn't think they would take issue with that D:

I still remember your "real name" (or whatever it was) from ticalc.org :trollface:

As for Google I think they just want to get rid of any anonymity on Google+ and turn their stuff into a social network. I wouldn't be surprised if one day, it was no longer possible to use nicknames on Youtube. Yes, I'm really really sure that music bands and companies will appreciate that move.  <_<

Yeah, I thought that was funny. People don't usually put a pseudonym in quotes in the middle of another pseudonym XD

Sometimes I use Tasogare Kagayaki as pseudonym (which sounds pretty legit. And Japanese), but I don't really care about using my real name (part of, actually, since I have 2 family names but usually use only one, and nobody really cared, even people and organizations IRL).

Oh yeah, YouTube does that now too because Google merged YouTube profiles with Google Plus profiles. There may be others too (like Blogger, but that seems to be optional).

I thought that was Google-wide? Because to change your Google Plus nickname you have to change it accross their entire network (eg, I couldn't use DJ as first name and Omnimaga as last name if I still use my real name elsewhere on their site)

Unless, of course, Philip, somebody clicks on the YouTube video you posted, which clearly says who it’s by.

On the long run now it still seems to be increasing, the activity! *yay*
What did happen? Was it portal and omnirpg combined that brought many members back to the forums?
