Be Excellent To Each Other

Where has 'BeeX' with the disgusting capital X come from?

that may have been me. Sorry Overlord

Good question. I like it though.

Pfft, don't flatter yourself. I first saw it as a clantag on Call of Duty 4 back in April. I have no idea who started it.

God, it makes me want to puke (but I've got the Norwalk virus at the moment, so this is hardly a surprise). BeEx was bad enough, but at least that made sense.

I did that. My COD4 thing was amusingly then [BeeX]BEEXMrChris. I'll have to try and work in BEeX, BeEx and BeEX as well.

Same here, although I've done my fair share of propagating it. I like the capital X. X is clearly the coolest letter, which is why David S Cohen (Simpsons writer) became David X Cohen (Futurama writer) when he had to join the Writer's Guild (and hence needed a unique name).

But do you say it as beex (like 'beaks'), or BeEx (Bee Ecks)?

Eh?

Also, I don't like the capital 'x'

I sometime use just 'BX', like in Rainbox Six Vegas where you're only allowed three letters for your clantag.

Alright maybe not started per se, but certainly used. A lot

That's very similar, yes. In the same way that "Invented the car" is quite similar to "drives to work".

Ooooh, BX is good.

And that's how it's pronounced, obv.

"beaks", surely? Doesn't everyone read it like that? no? Well you're all broken, then.

'beaks'. yes. correct

Yeah, I was amazed at how an arbitrarily set clantag limit led to me coming up with something so cool.

It's like not washing up for a month and inventing penicillin.

That's quite neat, actually.

In the beginning I though of it more as BETEO (Bee Tee Oh), though

We need a standard nomenclature vote. I say BETEO. BeEx is rubbish.

I thought this was WO-CUS?

He's been quiet lately

A plague of wocusts upon you all.

World of Cuddles gets my vote.

BEEX WEEX will be called what if we switch to BETEO?

And....sorry to sound a little-I don't know what actually but-why does it matter how it's referred to? Just asking

You know, for newcomers, all of this shit would be completely incomprehensible. Maybe we should have a glossary of terms?

BETEO won't fit as a clan tag on anything, though. Also, you smell of wee.

Platinum members get to call it BX.
Gold members get to call it BeeX.
Silver members have to wait a week and then they can call it BETEO.

Sorry for posting about stuff no-one cares about, Shin.

It is clearly BETEO.

http://www.beteo.co.uk is actually the most commonly-used gateway to the forum.

Superfun Gordon would agree.

That's me told :/

I was only asking because I figured maybe people have complained about it-but I can't really see why as both are valid terms? I thought it was always used tbh, but that may be because I've joined late

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2&hilit=beex

Term was used back in March

Um, you appear to have missed the point. Or you just wanted to link to the very first thread on the forum

Probably missed the point-Curiosity used the term in April mentioning a game he was playing I think, so it's as far back as then?

C.U.N.T.

EDIT: Not at Shin just a suggestion.

You as well? It's been round my entire house over the last two weeks. We're now in mass sterilisation mode (the house, not us) before it comes back.

I often struggle to decide which version to use when speaking to the missus.

Referring to people I might say, "The BETEO lot."

Referring to the place I might say, "Over on BeeX"

I pronounce that, "Be Ex", but I prefer the symmetry of the capitalisation in BeeX.

*shrugs*

It's more
Like

or


BeeX

bah, you fools can't change what I say in my head. BEEX FOREVER!

Also

which I often saw (back in the day) written in ASCII as DooM.

I'm to blame for BeeX, as it was just after The Sundering, and I was playing CoD4 with Dimmers, who'd borrowed the game off someone, or something.

I still had my WoS clantag, and as Dimrill was looking at it in envy, he pointed out that it shouldn't be WoS anymore. I agreed and changed it to BeeX, as BETEO wouldn't fit, and BeEx looked rubbish.

And we laughed, long into the night.

Mystery solved - THREAD LOCKED.

It was all Pundy's fault! What a great twist ending.

So, bEEx then.

When talking to my wife, this place is "noo forum", rllmuk is "big forum" and ugvm is "my newsgroup".

I don't talk about this place in real life.

You are referred to by Mrs Chris as my Imaginary Friends. Which has sort of stuck.

Did we never create alt.fan.the-rev-owen? alt.fan.richardgaywood still exists I think.

Nope. I never got a newsgroup.
