Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:

Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.

I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”

I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

There are plenty out there seemingly just in it for the money, but there are enough decent ones that it’s worth the hassle of going through several until you find one that actually takes your seriously. It’s definitely a needless PITA, but the end result is what matters most.


  • Well, TBF in some cases it’s a stupidly minor thing that’s not worth the cost to fix (or even just a notification that something unimportant happened), or is something that may as well wait until something more significant needs attention because of all the labor involved.
