<div class="IPBDescription">So tell me about "bob"!</div>How did Bob come to be named Bob? I checked the link in the "Read This First" post, and it gave me a CGI script error. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

Molecular came up with that.  The forum bums of the time were trying to come up with a name and he off-handedly suggested Bob.  It stuck.

Yeah, back in id say november, it all started.

Moleculor

Yeah, it's all my fault. It's somewhere on the old boards. Really old boards.

It is <b>not</b> the official name though. Just to reiterate.

Slycaster

I'm pretty sure the official name is: <span style='color:yellow'><b>Scrambler</b></span>, but im not 100% on that <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

I woulda guessed that bob wouldn't have stuck, but how bout the others?

TychoCelchuuu

yes, they all have official names and most have nicknames, ie blinky and tiny.

MonsieurEvil

They have names - but the only people who know them are the NS development team. Can't give out <i>all</i> the info, can we?
