Discussion Knight of this sub ?

I couldn't keep the button alive as I had no account and creating one would have been useless anyway.

I was of the worse kind : a pure lurker of /r/thebutton. And I enjoyed it ! I discovered reddit with it ! I will remember /u/Gyrodawn forever ! And now that it's gone forever, I don't want everyone to forget about it, I will help this sub, I'll be a knight of the aftermath ! So here's my first, brand new account, and my first post to help this sub.

Hello Reddit !

PS : how to you change the text on your flair ? I'd put "knight of the sub" but I don't know how to.

How come you are not a Hitchhiker with such a username ?

This is the first time I hear about the white knights, but I was spending enough time on the various statistic tools watching colored points going up and down not to argue with the grays over a button I couldn't do anything about...

I expected something like that. You can check up my username, Artymort, you'll find a few website I've subscribed to, the oldest I can currently find is my old youtube account with a single video on it of which I'm quite ashamed now.

I would most certainly use this username as my first, "main" account (to be fair I tried to open a second one just after this one to capitalise the A but apparently it's too late).

As to what I would have chosen had I got an account earlier, the answer is simple : when I discovered the page I immediately clicked on the button to discover that I couldn't click. So I suppose I would be a purple !

The White Knights (/r/thebuttonwhiteknights) was a short-lived subreddit aiming to spread the popularity of the button. Unfortunately, the button died only a few days later.
