Xbox just changed my gamertag. They want me to pay to change it

OP's gaf career was ruined and didn't even get a tag for it

Yeah he really got his butt smashed.
 
OP, that was one of the funniest threads i have read for a while.

Thanks! And next time, be a bit more witty with your naming choices. :p

Well done to everyone involved, especially dem mods!
 
Oh, Gaf... never change.

Though I must say, I find gaf's tendency for these lynch mob type ocurrences incresingly disturbing and quite hypocritical... Especially considering how everyone tries so fiercely to paint themselves as PC and tolerant around here. We've got some serious issues, as a community.

eh, what do you expect. they're always right and everyone else is an idiot.

Is this a joke post OP? MS gave you 2 good-faith chances to change your gamertag and you spit in their face both times and now you bitch that they changed it for you. Seriously....

You should just consider yourself lucky you didn't get the ban you deserved and move on with your life.

op could've taken it from 4chin.
 
Is "FaintColt388301" a reference to something?

It's just the random name that their name generator came up with when they changed his tag, unless the particular mod at MS that made the change kept hitting the generate button until they found one that they felt appropriate, considering the weird COLT wiki reference one user made.

So basically, probably not. But it sure as heck has a story behind it now.

Truly a great thread!!!

Although I am trying to get my head around the thought process of assigning yourself the tag "Buttsmasher" in the first place....

How do I fight this oppression, GAF!? I am the Rosa Parks of video games and I refuse to go to the back of the Butt."
 
Having to change your tag and not changing it to SmuttBasher is a missed origin opportunity right there.

The change to SmuttBasher would have lead you to take on a new role as the basher of smutty gamertags. All this after being taught a lesson about yourself and then becoming the basher Xbox needs you to be.

Tbh op, they did you a favor. FaintColt at least sounds kind of cool, ButtSmasher is Top 10 most juvenile nicknames material, only thing saving it where no Xs and 420s in it.

Rosa Parks?

Did you read the thread?
 
Sucks. I was pissed they made me change mine 10 years after being in Xbox Live Beta with 'Alcoholikaust'

They didn't charge me though (?)

I will forever remain 'Alcohologram' on XBL
 
LTTP but FaintColt sounds more cool then buttsmasher imo.

You should have been more clever in your spelling. Like Butte5ma5her or something.
 
Good nominee for thread of the year. OP got what was coming to him.

But seriously, give OP a "Memberrr" tag that links to this thread. Put the cherry on the cake.

Please do not let me serve on a jury. I am actually a crazy person.
Posting in a legendary thread.
One of the backfirest backfires i've ever seen.
 
The Jurassic park gif is a work of art

It's abit overused though. Of course it appears in every CBOAT thread, but it shows up all over the place now. Fitting for this one though.

First time making a gif, bit rough

Constructive criticism: The faintcolt walking is much much too short, as in you barely notice it flash past, while the buttsmasherrr one is much much longer. Needs to be a 50/50, or at least 70/30, butts to colt ratio.
 
This thread is amazing. OP has 2 chances to change his tag but was a smartass so MS said FU have this one then. Then his gaf name is changed to match. Brilliant
 
Man I saw this thread yesterday, and found it hilarious due to the name change, but it's certainly delivered thanks to the gifs. I'm dying of laughter over here xD

MS are legit one of the worst companies ever when it comes to this sort of thing but seriously OP your story comes down to "they did not like my homophobic name and gave me two opportunities to change it but I gave them a solid fuck you both times and now I didn't get what I wanted" story really does not touch my heart even in the slightest. PS fuck you.

While I disagree with the principle of the matter (censoring something like ButtSmasher? Cmon)...

Holy shit at this outcome lmao

You did have 2 free shots though I'd still try and get a free name change.
