Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Fetchnames - explain yours! :-)

Above & beyond the call of duty, um. :) Previously, guesswork was all I had to work out most user names, unless I kneww the Fetchie I R L, or the reason behind the name was obvious.

I've just gone through the list of names in the Wiki article. Well put together and quite fascinating too.

That was Um that did the great work on the Wiki.

So, yeah, a big Hello to all the recently joined Fetchies.

Well - as ever on this site - Fetch did the heavy lifting and extracted all the data on the thread, leaving me with a bit of excel manipulation, sorting, formatting etc and a mega paste into the wiki.

It's one of the reasons it's so good here - it's run and managed by a very helpful & interested person, not a faceless mega corp.

Hi Fetchies

Come here and tell me about your Fetchname:
- how did you come up with it?
- how do you pronounce it? (prompted by pedroscalls - is it Pedro-Scalls or Pedros-Calls?

There're are a few that um and I've summarised from answers in the thread in a lovely Wiki article here:

Here is the list to read AND ADD YOUR NAME !!

fetcheveryone.com/article-view.php?id=550

Feel free to add your own name here and also in the article, in the style above.

Remember, everyone can edit a Wiki, just follow the link!

Cheers! :-) G
