This is a pretty trivial thread, but why did Skyhigh steal my name?
My name's origins are bizarrely obscure. Actually it is my name "Greg" in the code alphabet function on a Speak-and-Spell machine, a spelling exercise computer from the 1990s made for children. It's a standard cipher code which exchanges every letter in the alphabet for another letter. In this game's particular cipher, most words and names just come out as gobbledygook, but it always made me proud as a child that my name actually came out as something pronouncable: Zobz. I've used the name for more than 20 years. To be honest it's kind of a fall-back name at this point and not that special to me.
But does it mean something in Korean, or what? It's a very strange coincidence! One of Skyhigh's current online handles is almost just the same. His spelling is different than mine, but it's close enough.
My leading theory right now is that Skyhigh saw me playing on Battlenet West some years ago, and has always remembered it fondly.
Or maybe it is the name of some Korean pop idol?

Skyhigh's name is Jo Byeong Se, Cho Byeong Se or any other way like Zo Byung Se(조병세). Korean language does not have English "Z" sound and it is close to "J" sound. I'm pretty sure a lot of people do like their first initials and then last name for an account or so. Korea writes our last name and then first name like earlier as i mentioned. And he did that in Korean without space and it became 좂 instead of 조ㅂㅅ. He probably avoided it because ㅂㅅ is prohibited word on stream nickname. Back to "좂" it has the consonants and a vowel "z" "o" "b" "s"

Zobz I think skyhighs claim to the ID is more valid than yours, and thus you should change your ID immediately
