Okay, I'll be the roof lirpa who asks.

Why, despite numerous references to backwards names, do I see no one's name backwards, except within people's posts where they obviously typed backwards?

Is this a technical thing related to OS, browser, etc. or is it one of those Mournington Crescent-style confuse-the-noobs inside jokes?

Respectfully,
Myriad

how dare you call the Noble Game a "joke".

It's a conspiracy to get David Jay Jordan to say his name backwards and send him back to the M-dimension.

Myriad is the only one I've seen thus far...

I'm kind of partial to "notlad nomis," myself. Kind of sounds like some ancient Arthurian incantation.

Mine almost mimics my grandmother's maiden name: Duguid (I guess Trigood even kind of mimics it; weird I never thought of that before). (Yes, we claim relationship to the Duc de Guis, which means I'm related to Mary Queen of Scots. Yeah!)

Heh ~ some of them sound pretty cool backwards.

Like Snips, MAT, dairyM, amgine, et.al but for some reason, "rediaRipsnoC" cracks me up. :D

No, that's not it.

Apparently I'm suffering from some rare form of hyperlexia, which causes me to see words forwards even when they're displayed backwards.

Now I'll have to find posts by Regnad Kcin, bit disappointed he didn't post in this thread.

Myriad spelt backwards is DairyM, something useful for a crossword fanatic like myself.

Anyway, best april fools I've seen in years (and pretty much the only one I've had all day. Some kids knocked on the door, and boringly they really did want their ball back from my garden. )

Anyone who claims that names are spelled backwards is an obvious disinfo agent here to disrupt this forum.

The names are spelled correctly.
