question about the who function - Klayboxx - 06-02-2013
Why are some names in red with a different name next to the normal name in parenthesis? Sometimes this is the same name just not capitalized, or a name that is super different.
Sometimes I assume it's an undercover admin but idk

They are called 'Goons' They think them selves better then the non goons(Pubbies) because they spent one dolla on the Something awful forums.
All true by the way, not playing. You don't get anything out of it. 'Goonsay' doesn't even work and hasn't for a while I think.

We haven't really had a goons vs pubs thing for quite some time? Most anyone who brings it up these days gets ridiculed into silence.

Wait, what? Goonsay totally works. I was talking on it a couple days ago with other people.

oh ok, makes sense.
goons are nerds anyway

For some reason I thought it was an indication of who had been previously banned.

There's even a game medal that practically encourages getting in trouble once.
(I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say that out loud, because I thought medals were mostly ignored or intentionally kept quiet)
I find it kind of funny that almost every major forum eventually has a space station 13 server officially or unofficially affiliated with them.

I think the name in parenthesis is there for if someone authorizes a byond account with a different name from their SA forum account, but I'm not totally certain about that.

the name in parenthesis is the SA username that authed the key
