Orange Eyes? or Orange Yes?

[Tobias Funke]

I have seen many of the great stories and tributes to OE over the last week. I am one who never had the pleasure of meeting Dan, but i am inspired by his impact on this great community. One thing that i remember(possibly mis-remember) is a thread referencing how we landed on our usernames. I though OE let us know that despite popular opinion his handle was actually Orange Yes. I ask this not only for my own knowledge, but i have seen many great words spoken of the man known as Orangeyes, and it has been written in both manners, and i think it fitting that we speak his name the way he intended

Apologies if this comes across as anything other than genuine.

That's a tricky one, and I'm sure someone who knew him better will have an answer.

I've always called him Orange eyes... He was the "eyes and ears" for anything SU related.

I agree. I never knew him to be called orange yes but even if that was his intention, it definitely quickly morphed into orange eyes. That name fit him perfect.

Eyes. Not Yes. Told me himself, when I asked the same question long ago.

I always thought the same thing.

I remember him clearing it up in a thread when someone was sure it was yes. He said it's eyes. Besides. OY is just not as catchy as OE. Vay.

Yeah .. there was a post a while ago on this. I always thought it was "Orange-Eyes" but the way he spelled it brought up questions. A very suitable name for him I'd say.

 

[Briancuse]

However his name is spelled, I can't thank him enough for all the time he has dedicated to putting up articles for us.

I invite you to read my humble tribute to Dan where this is answered as well as a little more insight into my all too brief and limited relationship with him:

And anyone who reads that who would like to contribute similarly, I hope you can add to it there.
