Goodbye, Sir Tim Drake

[Aaron Kashtan]

This is just to let people know that I finally took the plunge and changed my CBR user name to my real name. It's been a long time since I had any interest in Tim Drake, and also I don't want to be associated with one of Chuck Dixon's signature characters.

Still, it feels very strange to suddenly quit being Sir Tim Drake. I think I've been using that name for almost half my life; that's why it took me so long to give it up.

You were still in high school when I "met" you. Welcome to the forum, Aaron.

Now all your students will be able to find your opinions on pressing comic matters when they Google you!

Not that I ever compulsively Googled my professors...

Is that what the kids call it nowadays?

[shaxper]

Yikes! The title of this thread was a bit misleading. I figured that, at the best, you were leaving CBR and, at the worst, you were dead!

And, incidentally, I did always assume from your username that you were a massive Dixon fan, so the change is probably a good one :)

I must admit I leapt to exactly the same conclusions as shaxper. Glad to know I was wrong.

Normally that'd be my line ... nicely done, Slamster.

isnt a nicely done slamster what the kids call it these days too?


[i am so so sorry]

[dan bailey]

Ah, my good dr chimp -- one good turn deserves another ...

... as the kids say these days in the midst of Googling their professors & nicely done Slamsterings.

Anyone want to explain to an old fart like me who the character Tim Drake is? I don't mean Aaron, I mean the fictional character.

There is nothing wrong with Tim Drake really. I mean it and Spoiler will likely be associated with Dixon for years. I don't think keeping a heroes handle means you support Chuck Dixon. I doubt anyone would honestly use that against you.

He was the Robin after Jason Todd.

Cei-U!
I summon the backstory!

Hah - I never knew who Sir Tim Drake was either, though I assumed it must be some comics character.

Now if only I knew who Jason Todd is ...

I thought it had something to do with Sir Francis Drake.

I fear I jumped to the same conclusion. Glad to know Aaron is not a Dixon fan.
