Southpaw Gringo, SASS # 74217 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Has anybody tried looking for an alias with the SASS alias lookup section? Im trying to find an unused alias for a pard who would like to join SASS but it just keeps saying," that alias has already been taken". It dosent matter what we come up with. We can just make up anything and it says its unavalible. I know I can call but I think this service is faulty. Here try it for youself and tell me what you find. Is it just me or what? http://www.sassnet.com/AliasLookup.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me or what? http://www.sassnet.com/AliasLookup.php Tried it and it's working normally. Came up with one on the first try that it said was not already taken (Dudeye Dave). Try again. There are over 90,000 aliases taken, so be creative! Welcome to your new pard and good luck! Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama Red Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Gringo, run an alias thru there again - make up a real nonsense name. When it comes back, it will say: "The Following SASS Aliases have already been taken by existing SASS members and are no longer available:" "Existing SASS Member Aliases" If there are no aliases listed in that block, down at the bottom it will say: No matches found for "XXXXXXXX" Once you get that answer, it means your choice is not in use, but it still has to be approved by the Alias Givers in SASS Headquarters. As long as your choice isn't too risque, and doesn't look or sound like an existing alias, you're golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems if the alias is available or not it will always say' "The following SASS alias have already been taken by exsisting SASS members and are no longer available". Maybe thats whats throwing me off. I think they need to correct that. It sould say, "yes that alias is available" for us slow thinking folks....

Harvey Mushman Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Seems we have rogue electrons runnin' and funnin' on the internet tonite When I enter "Dudeye Dave" I get ONLY: "no matches found". If you enter just "Dud", you will get the listing of a bunch of existing aliases starting with "Dud", pretty much as stated above. If it does not include what you submitted ("Dud" in this case) it means you can submit to the office where they will finalize the check. I recommend calling them rather than internet or mailing - it was the easiest way I found - they are cowboy friendly, courteous and helpful!! Call the office!

El Concho, SASS 32096 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Seems to be working: Just listed 2 over 4-5 yrs old (past members); 3 made up names & 3 cartoon characters; All came back “Not Taken”???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waimea Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Worked for me too. I tried some ridiculous name then I tried Waimea. Anyway, it came back with no matches on the made up name. But when I looked up Waimea there were two: Waimea (me) and Waimea Cowboy (somebody I'd like to meet). Interesting.... Waimea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt. I. M. Lost, SASS # 53627 Life Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Interesting. I looked myself up, and found no entry for Lt. I. M. Lost, Lt IM Lost, Lt. Lost, but did find myself with Lt. I.M. Lost. So, I guess even if you don't find an entry (exact spelling) the "sounds like" requirement might still get you. Tried it and it's working normally. Came up with one on the first try that it said was not already taken (Dudeye Dav Try again. There are over 90,000 aliases taken, so be creative! Welcome to your new pard and good luck!

Smoken D Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 My results for Deadeye Chick; The Following SASS Aliases have already been taken by existing SASS members and are no longer available: (THIS STATEMENT MAKES IT CONFUSING) Remember! - Just because an alias isn't found does NOT mean it will be accepted. The final call is always made by a SASS customer service representitive. You can contact the SASS office M-F at: (877) 411-SASS. Be creative, and good luck! Existing SASS Member Aliases No matches found for Deadeye Chick (THIS IS THE ACTUAL RESULT FOR THE SEARCH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
