I believe Gandalf chose his username so that people won't be able to quote him...unless I am mistaken.

Another person chose the username he wanted. Dan's too lazy to fix the bug.

It's not realy a bug so much as usernames with []s should not be allowed. So you could say i am to lazy to disallow it (or the bbcode prasing engine should be improved but i did not make that) :p

Actually, the brackets originate from a character I made in a game called Helbreath around 2002-2003:
Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.
However what rdrake said is also true, in part. Messing with the forums is an unintended bonus. Wink

GeoCities is currently working fine for me, andrew.

oh wow, randomest thing ever but I just found bugzpodder on facebook. Jack Zhao?

Post subject:  RE:Google Codejam

Did you stumble onto his profile accidentally, or did you search his e-mail with the intention of seeing whether or not he's one of the 20 million users of Facebook?

Author:  A.J [ Mon Sep 07, 2009 12:13 am ]
Post subject:  RE:Google Codejam

I would assume it is the former.

Somehow I doubt it. I'm sure there are many Chinese males at Waterloo, and he seems quite sure that this "Jack Zhao" is bugzpodder and not "Jason Fong" (just made that up).

Note: I know he's a Chinese male because of his TC profile picture.

It's Yin Zhao, not Jack Zhao.

neither Analysis, I was browsing the group "TopCoder" and there was a topic on handles, I saw a post by JackZhao saying his handle was bugzpodder and connected the dots.

Yin Zhao could be his pingyin Chinese name.

Aarrghh (this is a word in most Scrabble dictionaries, but argh isn't)! Missed the registration. I assumed that there would be no Code Jam this year, since I checked in August. Wrong!

found this from Google. I'm the real bugzpodder, but no idea who any of you are...
