x626xBlack is now "TheOak"

x626xBlack's username is now Black.
It's a lot easier to say "TheOak" than "x626xBlack"

I was just coming here to make an announcement...

et all,
No, its not my alter ego... x626xblack was my xboxlive gamertag when I first joined, which is fairly irrelevant to this reason but also this forum lol..

I found that people didn't always know what to call me... x.. 626x626x...x626xblack... I would get confused when I saw people taking to !656!... Its also easier to not have to bounce back and forth from alpha to numeric and back when addressing me.

Oak fits my personality better also. You can shoot a mule to move it... I dont move so easily..

Say it aint so Black, say it aint so. I don't know if I can recover from that.

Would this help?

I always thought of you as (x86), which likely offends you. LOL

At least you didn't go with "The Magnolia".

... and it's also the title of a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, whereas I 'googled' and couldn't come up with a single verse named after 'x626Black',

The nick has actually been with me for a Little while. It was born during a heated debate with a coworker when he looked at me red with frustration and told me I was like a bull that couldn't be moved.... I chuckled and replied ... I can shoot a bull in the head and drag the carcas away quite easily..... I'm the immovable Oak... It takes a hell of a lot more to move me and my roots will still haunt you for decades.....

He turned purple then after 5 minutes he laughed.... It also has another more personal meeting I will not get into.
