I'm coming out!

[bryce]

Hey guys,

This is a long time coming, but I think its time for me to come out before I totally loose my mind. No, not that closet... a different one.

Back when I bought linkmeallover.ca way back, the former owner told us whatever we do... don't use our real names on the forum. He promised us that if we did we'd have crosses burning in our front yards. That was almost a decade ago and a lot has changed in that time.

So today, I'm coming out and changing my username. Seth seems so silly now. No offense to the Seth's out there in the world, but it truly doesn't suit me. I don't feel like a Seth and so I'm renouncing my previous username.

From this day forward please call me Bryce, the name given to me by my parents

Best,
Bryce (formerly Seth)

-- that felt so good

Hello Bryce

[HunterM]

Welcome to JUB Bryce!

[looseliam]

*searches for crosses to burn*

:P

[opinterph]

Congrats, Bryce!

[palbert]

Welcome to JUB Bryce. If you need help just ask.

[G-Lexington]

I may need some time to get used to this. Can I use an intermediate name for a while - "Beth"?

Lex

[oakpope]

Welcome to the family Bryce !

[bryce]

So sweet. But JUB was my idea. That doesn't mean I don't need direction and hand holding from time to time... Maybe even a hot cup of tea

[star-warrior]

Welcome to JUB, Bryce!

Its great to see you posting more. Kinda missed you over the last three or four years here. But then, we knew you were really busy behind the scenes keeping the place tip top, and expanding into other exciting projects.

[DonQuixote]

Should we make you reset your post counts and become a "Newbie"?!
Thanks for all the hard work you guys do.

It's going to take some getting used to the "new" you.
But, it will make talking to Seth, the Irish Scot, and the boys in F&G about you a bit less confusing.

Several of them didn't know that you were the former owner of all this glory.

[cityboy-stl]

Very cool to see you as you and it's great having Bryce around more these days.

I knew you were Bryce anyway.

[chrisw87]

I didn't know you were a Bryce, and now I do.

Good job

I've probably never been that smart about identity protection on the internet. I don't spread my surname around but I've always used my first name (thankfully there are 2 people with the exact same name, and one with the same date of birth within 10km radius of my current location).

[refujiunderground]

congrats, bryce. didn't know you could change your screenname. how do you do that?

[DonQuixote]

He, Corny, the Mods would be the people with "the power", I believe.

[MoufOfKhaos]

Huh.

Now that you've changed your name, how about giving me a dollar?

[bryce]

In that moment... you know I'll answer to just about anything!

Can I still yell out Seth when I'm masturbating about us?

[streetblackcock99]

[looseliam]

^ thank you! It pops in my head every time I see the thread title

[DonQuixote]

We've got to keep posting congrats and other assorted stuff in this thread so it matures to the High Post colour scheme on the boards!

[DonQuixote]

And, Don't forget to
RATE THIS THREAD
- it deserves 5 Stars!

[RaKroma]

What's your address, sounds like you really want those burning crosses?

[72-Jay]

So sweet. But JUB was my idea.

wow! cool

{a YouTube link}

I can't see that (due to my settings)...but can just guess what song it is LOL

[MTLDude]

Nice to meet you Bryce... and if it is your pic in your current avatar, you got nice ink!


And for all the good work:

[Kyanimal]

"KEWL!", Bryce

A Rose by any other name ...

Keep smilin'!!
Chaz

[gmoney]

I always wondered where the name Seth came from (since I've already met you in person). BTW, is JD really JD? I'm so confused!!

[dynk]

Congratulations!


I came out at 14 to everybody and never regretted it. I never want to hide the fact that I am gay.

-- well, in regards to that I've been "out" for 17 years

[bryce]

Yup, thats me. Thanks

[MoufOfKhaos]

So... about that dollar...

[Ganoderma]

hi Bryce (formerly Seth),

So you joined JUB already in January 1973?

Join Date:Jan 1973

hi Bryce (formerly Seth),

every programmer knows what that means

[bryce]

I was ahead of my time, young'ns!

[DonQuixote]

Not a programmer, but guessing age?

[Lefty]

Well Bryce,

I would post an obscene (not fit for office) thing here as a congratulations
butt, somebody changed stuff and my copy/paster don't work no more.

Glad you feel comfortable in your SKIN. I've always thought a lot of you
whatever name you use. Me, I'm Lefty since about 7 years ago when I
realized there were at least 47 variations of my other name on active duty
here. Besides, ever since I was a kid I wanted a 'macho' nickname.

This be the final place of Death
For an old Icon named Seth

A roll of the lucky Dice
Brought forth the man known as Bryce

No need to ask the new man twice
He helps solve problems in a trice.

You've done a wonderful job here with JUB for the last decade and you deserve to let it all out,Bryce...congrats and thanks for everything you do here and hopefully will for a long time to come!

[DonQuixote]

We're up to post # 45 - just another 5 and Bryce's coming out thread will mature to the color of the big boys!

[Kyanimal]

HUH? What colors are you speaking of?

[DonQuixote]

The gold vs blue square box on the listings.

[Kyanimal]

The gold vs blue square box on the listings.

HUH? (Deja Vu! )

What listings? All I'm seeing in my list of subscribed threads is red, or blue, and I have NO Idea what THAT means!

(Going for some more posts so it, whatever "it" is, changes. )

[DonQuixote]

Reddish, Goldish - they're like the envelopes on the old system.
You haven't been reading all of the posts -

Reddish = 5o or more posts, or 1000 or more views.
Blue = less than one of those, i.e. less visited or "newby" thread - which, as we all know, Bryce is certainly a "Newby".
He only founded the place under a nom de plume, lol.
This is #49

[Corny]

Not a programmer, but guessing age?

lol .. don't let him read that ..

[unloadonme]

Phew! I thought I was losing it and starting to confuse user names and avatars. Then I spotted this thread and realised I'm not going senile just yet.

Bryce it is. Erm, congratulations?

[JUB]

About time Bryce haha.

[ibill1]

Congrats to you and all the guys that make JUB possible. You all had a great idea and it has brought many guys together and have the ability to hash out all the s**t that goes on in our gay lives. You all should be proud of yourselves.

Hey guys,

This is a long time coming, but I think its time for me to come out before I totally loose my mind. No, not that closet... a different one.

Back when I bought linkmeallover.ca way back, the former owner told us whatever we do... don't use our real names on the forum. He promised us that if we did we'd have crosses burning in our front yards. That was almost a decade ago and a lot has changed in that time.

So today, I'm coming out and changing my username. Seth seems so silly now. No offense to the Seth's out there in the world, but it truly doesn't suit me. I don't feel like a Seth and so I'm renouncing my previous username.

From this day forward please call me Bryce, the name given to me by my parents

Best,
Bryce (formerly Seth)

-- that felt so good

Now go over to the Amateur forum and show us yer dick!

[Binicorn]

One of these days, maybe after my father dies, I'll be able to use my real name in the places online that I'm out (though, not here because the people in this region would be horrified [or worse] if they found out I was into gay porn!). There are a few trusted friends and family in RL who know I'm bi (some even know I'm into gay porn!), but I am not vocal or obvious about it at all--at least, I try not to make it obvious when I'm admiring a woman's rear end.... Online, though, I'm VERY vocal about who I am. The only vocal about GLBTQA I am in RL is standing up for marriage equality and honoring diversity and the Trevor Project and such. My dad asked last year why I was into these causes all of the sudden, and I said, "Because it's right." I didn't lie; I just dodged.

Dad's a homophobe. He's getting better, but I'm pretty sure he'd use the "just being trendy" phrase or similar on me if Mom or I told him because he's very old fashioned and thinks everything in the world must be the way he wants it...especially his family and his immediate environment. (Do the terms "narcissist" and "verbal/emotional/psychological abuse" ring a bell? Those apply to my dad and my family life. I lived in that home until I was 40, when I finally got granted Social Security Income because of my epilepsy and Asperger syndrome complicated by severe depression [chemical, not situational].)

[Binicorn]

Speaking of changing names, I've wanted to ask for a long time if I could change mine. I don't use dfasgiles anywhere else anymore, so it's a real hassle for me to use it here.

I'd like to change my username to the one I sign my messages with: origuessimabinicorn (a la one Brittany S. Pierce from Glee).

Thanks!

[ronboy]

I've known you as Bryce since I became a mod.. (2005, I think)

I didn't even notice until today that you had stopped using Seth as your screen name.

You are a JUB founding father, and it is fitting that people know who Bryce is.

You are giving me the inspiration to come out with my real name. I'm still not ready for that yet, (and heck, I respond to Ron as easily as my own name), but I greatly admire you for doing that.
