For those who may have known me as "Tuckdogg"

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)
