Someone has stolen my name.

[fusi0n]

Get over it.

[ThEclipse]

Eclipse is obviously very popular and taken everywhere(even here). But I forgot my password on the other account here(Eclipse) so I had to make a new one.

[jazzmosis]

There's a posse of Jazzmosis' online - all posing me.

[Chrissi]

Okay guys, stop mocking me. The name "Rediahs" is nothing like Jazzmosis or fusi0n or anything. The only way he would have that name, short of a 8 billion to 1 co-incidence, is if he saw me using it and decided he wanted it.

THAT is what bothers me. If it were a name like "beegurl" I wouldn't be all "OMG STEALING MY NAME" but fuck, it's Rediahs. What does Rediahs sound like? Nothing. It's random stuff.

And the long story behind Diagon Alley is...

On deviantART, emoticons on the site are donated to the community by pixel/emoticon artists. However, they are not for use outside of the site. It says that right on the emoticon sheet. Also, all of them are original to the authors. They are NOT supposed to be widespread. The emoticons were made for deviantART.

Get it? Okay. Good. And this was the thing that the people at Diagon Alley did NOT understand. They were using emoticons from deviantART, and when asked to remove the offending emoticons, they refused unless they got a direct message from each of the artists who created them.

Of course that's ridiculous because it says right on the deviantART sheet that they are copyright their respective artists, and are not to be used anywhere else. So a couple of artists were notified and complained on the site, and THEIR emoticons were taken down from it, pleasing the certain artists. However no general action was taken to ensure emoticons weren't stolen from deviantART anymore. There were still plenty of ripped emotes.

I'm so glad to see their account suspended. Maybe deviantART took action! That would be excellent! Hooray. I hate art thieves, especially art thieves who consider emoticons not to be art.

I see people names Moogy/Moogle alot

[Kenzya]

Kenzya is completely made up.. out of my mind.. it's a coincidence that it came out as Kenya with a Z.. Yet there are a couple people on EVERQUEST with the name Kenzya and a couple people on AIM with the name Kenzya..

[CalibreneGuru]

I can guarantee no one but me uses my name, and if they did I would seriously be like "wtf".

[staroceanfreakx]

SOFX and S0FX were taken, but people use that for my nickname sometimes if they don't like to type it alot. And in one rather unfortunate typo incident, I was called sofa instead of sofx, and some people still call me sofa.

[Reach]

Uh yea...get over it...theres like a billion people on the net. Someones bound to type in the same letters for a name as you. Not to mention 'Rediahs' has the world Red in it, i'm sure eventually, no matter what name you use, someone else is going to use it or come up with it, unless you have something like 'ASDFGJKL;jamespoopypantSS$$$PIMP'

[ThEclipse]

ASDFGJKL;jamespoopypantSS$$$PIMP

Taken.

[Chrissi]

OMG NO THAT WUZ MY SECRIT USRNAME U RUINED IT!!!!

[Kenzya]

"Rediahs"
Let's elaborate.

Rediahs kind of sounds like "Red Eyes" which happens to be in the movie Mystery Men. Someone who thinks they're original makes their nickname RedEyes. It's taken, so they just sound it out and get it at "Rediahs".

[User6773]

Am I the only one here who supports Chrissi?

Rediahs, like Chardish, is an invented name, and as someone who has used his invented name for 4+ years on various places on the Internet, I understand her plight. It's a name that sounds like a name, rather than a screen name.

I wouldn't want to see some idiot go around impersonating me on other forums, either. In fact I wouldn't even like the idea of there being another Chardish out there.

[Kenzya]

I thought of you more as a vegetable than a person.

[TACODUDE]

Someone coulda seriously messed up when spelling "Radish" and thought it looked cool, so they kept it.
