Do you not read the news?
I guess I don't. I also don't frequent community like I used to because of the anime/manga forums.

Numericaphobia," or prejudice against posters with numbers in their screen names, stems from fearing the unknown, Edgar Hopida, spokesman for the San Diego Council on Number-Non Number Relations told a group of Boston College students Wednesday.
"It's a very problematic mentality which takes root from years of misunderstanding," Hopida told the crowd after projecting some statistics on a screen.
Almost 60 percent of forum posters are "not very knowledgeable" or "not at all knowledgeable" about screen names with numbers and nearly one-fifth admit to intolerant feelings towards said posters, according to the council's 2006 survey of public opinion about posters with numbers in their screen names.

Don't shoot the messenger.![]()

Well, I've never been called a name. So I'm not even stressing about it.![]()

It's probably because your Non-NumbersInName friends can approach you without hesitation because of your fair comp1exion. They see us pure NumbersInName folk and get intimidated.![]()
I would like to see a mandatory registration database for NumberedName posters, sort of like the National Sex Offender Registry. That way we could know where they are at. It would come in handy if you were travelling or buying a new home or something, that way you could avoid the areas they are living in.

I didn't know when I moved into Community there'd be so many Numbered Posters.![]()
Numbered Posters are going to bring drugs into the Community.
...Dude... wth?! Why do you have so many posts in such a short amount of time?!

We have a winner!Unc13 T0m.![]()
I'm light. But Not light of enough to pass. Do trust. There's no fractions in my equation. Just a few multiples.
...qft.

I've tried to get my number removed, but the powers that be don't want to cooperate.

If the numbers don't fit, don't hit submit.
What do you call a numbered poster with half a brain?
Gifted.
Hahahaha.

If we call them "Numbas" as opposed to "Numbers" is it less offensive?

That's me though.I'm calling for the firing of the editor of that rag that you people purport as "journalism". Ain't nothin' but hate speech packaged with cute pictures and glossy borders.

If the numbers don't fit, don't hit submit.
