Replaces Atlas' many usernames with "I Am Atlas."

Have fun.  

Sorry if I missed a few things; this should cover your daily browsing though.

If you guys have anything you want me to add, please tell me!  I'm actually going to be maintaining this
edit: Right now it recognizes Atlas in:
> Every post's "author" cell
> Every quote's "posted by ____" string
> The "Author" column in the post table when you go to a specific subforum.

Anonymous... will now be marked with a big red I Am Atlas username!

Maybe it should replace the names with 'Unremorsefully Atlas' ?

LOL

Yes!  Can't believe I didn't think of that!   

[naypalm]

should we lock the thread? 

[ineededausername]

should we lock the thread? 

I would, but this thread is for suggestions

Anyways, is everyone OK with the current list of replace-locations?

This would have been great before, but him and all 21(!) of his alts were banned by theymos a couple days ago.  Still useful since theres tons of his posts everywhere.
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54127.0  Ban discussion starts halfway down page 2. 
Great work though

You can shrink your conditionals by putting all aliases in an array, and then using indexOf.

Code:

var aliases = ['john', 'bill', 'steve'];
undefined
aliases.indexOf('bill');
1
aliases.indexOf('bill')>=0;
true
aliases.indexOf('j')>=0;
false
aliases.indexOf('john')>=0;
true

indexOf returns -1 when string is not found.

Then this

Code:

		str = str.replace(" Atlas", " Unremorsefully Atlas");
		str = str.replace(" I.Goldstein", " Unremorsefully Atlas");
		str = str.replace(" Ragnar", " Unremorsefully Atlas");
		str = str.replace(" Immanuel Go", " Unremorsefully Atlas");
		str = str.replace(" ALPHA.", " Unremorsefully Atlas");
		str = str.replace(" Harvey", " Unremorsefully Atlas");
		str = str.replace(" Anonymous...", " Unremorsefully Atlas");

can be replaced with

Code:

for(var i in aliases){
   var name = ar[i];
   str = str.replace(name, " Unremorsefully Atlas");
}

Gotta keep it DRY.

Good advice.  Just learned JS recently and haven't bothered to learn the  built-in methods yet, and I should get off my ass because that looks much better

Brief summary of who is Atlas...

It would take as long to explain "who is Atlas" as it took to explain "who is John Galt".
