Woah, I didn't expected such interest around this change.
Even if PTS sounds better it isn't my original nickname. And in every other forum, IRC server or whatever I'm PhutureTech, so why be diffirent here? And besides PTS usualy stands for 'post-traumatic stress' which isn't my goal...
I still do program, ministeve, but only small apps to use once or twice at the momment. I'm amazed how'd you remember such details.
Of course I wont go into a long and winding rant about how the 'ph' is only cool in reference to phreaking, which i doubt you are.
Phreaking, no, but I feel kinda good when deceiveing and backstabbing people... But don't be afraid, it doesn't bring me much satisfaction over the internet so you're (relatively) safe. I saw this variant of 'phuture' in the name of a band or something, can't remember...
Even if I change my avatar I'll probably keep the 'PTS' in it, as well as the gear, so you'll have no problems recognizing me. And alos I won't get offended if you refer to me as 'PTS' or 'PT' or 'Phuture' or whatever.
PS: By using 'Ph' instead of 'F' allows to use 4xP - Pure Phuture, Pure Power
(seen in a sloganizer or whatever it was)
