[Updated]OG Help Desk Thread - bοxxy - Jun 5, 2014
Introduction
Hello everyone. I am here to give you my cool little guide that I have been working on that deal with OG Accounts. I have been doing this a while, even before I came to Hack Forums, so I can say that I know the game/trade of things. If you are interested in the OG Accounts I have, you can check out my little list HERE. The reason that I am posting this Thread is to give people a guide in whether or not their account is classified as 'OG' or not, to prevent them from looking bad by posting Threads about getting a really terrible account appraised. I put some good work and time into this Thread, so please take the time and read it.
What is an 'OG' Account?
- 'OG' Originally known as 'Original Gangster' but in this case, it's not. To give you the best description of what an 'OG Account' is, let me put it simply. Good, one word usernames. For example, how cool would it be to join a Minecraft Server, or Call of Duty Online, and see someone with the username 'Swag', because there can only be one 'Swag' . That is why these accounts are worth a lot, depending on how many people use the site that holds the account name.
What are the benefits of having an 'OG' Account?
There are many obvious benefits to having OG Accounts. I will be listing the ones that I know of below.
Having a cool name!- One of the many benefits of having one of these 'OG' accounts, is that it's ( most of the time ) a nice, clean word. Wouldn't it be the coolest thing to tell your friends, "Hey dude, kik me @swag"
Traffic- Another one of the many benefits of having one of these 'OG' names is that the better the name, usually brings traffic. For example, say your username on Instagram was @love, or @quotes. These are the kind of things that hundreds and hundreds of people search daily, thus bringing in more followers/likes. This is good, say if you wanted to advertise something, or bring traffic to other accounts by shouting them out once you have your super follower counts.
Money- Sometimes businesses will by usernames from people. You don't see this too often, but I can assure you that it does happen. These accounts obviously sell for money because of the rarity of them, and the cool niche that it provides. For example, if you had the username Nike, someone might contact you from the company so that they can promote their product, etc.
Identifying 'OG' names.
Alright. This section of the Thread should answer most people's question. Is my "One word" username 'OG' or not?
Okay, so you have your "OG". Here are some things that will easily determine most 'OG' Usernames.
Good Things ( All of these do not have to apply for the same account )- The Username is short.
- The Username has meaning ( Ex. @Passion )
- The Username is a word people actually know.
Non-Good Things ( All of these do not have to apply for the same account )- The Username has underscores or periods. ( There are a few exceptions like some faces or creative things like @u.u, making this worth a little more )
- The Username is not some long random word with -ology or -ionist at the end of it. ( Example: @antitechnology )
- The Username is two random words. ( Example: @FatMuffin )
- The Username does not have suffixes that have no meaning. ( Example: @Prefights )
Here are some good usernames ( These usernames are just coming from my head, if you own one then good for you :D )- @Love
- @Swag
- @Music
- @Hack
- @Cute
Identifying what 'OGs' hold value
I didn't really know exactly how to title this part, but this is really important, because I have been seeing this alot. This section of the thread will inform you on all of the sites ( YouTube, Instagram, Skype, etc. ) That hold value. Anything else, probably does not, but no one is perfect and I might miss one. Here are the main sites that hold value. ( IF the account is 'OG' )
Non-Email Accounts
- YouTube
- Twitter
- Skype
- Instagram
- Tumblr
- Kik
- SnapChat
- Vine ( Upcoming )
Email Accounts
How do I obtain 'OG' Accounts?
There are many ways in obtaining these such 'OG' accounts. Not all of these methods are legal, and some are unfortunately not legal. Please not that anything you do is completely held responsible by you, and not me.
- The first and most simple way in obtaining these really good usernames, is basically signing up for the account yourself. Note, that you need to do this right when the app or site comes out, because all of the good names are going to be taken. If you can create an account you think is cool years later on a popular site, then the account probably is not 'OG' hence the fact that it wasn't taken. You never know, but chances are, it's probably not.
- Another way to obtain these accounts is to visit the Online Accounts Section. This is where you can buy and sell these accounts and sometimes possibly trade them. You never know what you'll find here, maybe something that you like!
- Another way in obtaining these accounts is not technically a legal way, but most people call it account cracking. This is done either by Brute Force ( Using a program in which guesses a crap ton of passwords etc. ) Or manually doing it, by collecting information on the person, and guessing what they might have as their password based on their birthday, or other personal information.
- Another way, which also might not be legal, is account jacking. This is where you contact the site saying that you lost access to "your account", which is really the account you are trying to steal, and by finding the information on the account you can make it look like you are the legitimate owner of this account.
- MORE METHODS COMING SOON.
I have an 'OG' Account. Now what do I do?
There are quite some options of things you can do once you obtain your 'OG' Account.- You can keep the account for yourself, and use it for personal reasons.
- You can ask other members of Hack Forums to Appraise your account HERE
- You can sell the account. If you are a non-upgraded member, you can sell HERE. If you are an upgraded member ( Ub3r ) You can sell the account HERE.
Conclusion
This is just a guide that I wrote to help inform the HackForums community about these accounts, which I believe is a big thing. The reason that I made this guide was because of all the people making Threads that sell/look for appraisals for accounts that are completely worthless. I hope that this will help some of those people before they decide to post a Thread asking how much something is worth, instead of actually posting the Thread and then getting 15 replies saying that it is worthless, when they could have just read this Thread ( Or in most cases, used common sense ) and that would prevent that. There will be more added to this guide in the future, but I hope that this helps someone because this took me a hefty sum of time typing this bad boy out. Hope you enjoy the Thread, have a nice day.

Quite an informative thread for the newer users, well done. Although, I'd recommend to change the blue text. It's a strain on the eyes!

Fagget Technically "Lying" would be a semi. Most would classify "L5" as an OG. (Gosh, I hate using OG. Sounds so corny 😏)
All the rest of your SM's are "OG". 👍

I considered lying a better one of the semi OG's ending in -ing, because it's shorter and easy to remember.

Nice thread, but it's retarded how suddenly Kik and Snapchat OG names have got popular. On Kik all you do is get spammed by idiots, and Snapchat is only for sending pictures so who cares about an original name for it?

Because. How cool would it be to tell your friend, "Hey, kik me, my username is @faggot"
See what I mean? This applies for SnapChat too.

I know they're worth something to people, I just don't like both apps for major reasons.

I see what you mean. I going to be adding a section about why these names are worth anything and my personal definition of 'OG'

Exactly. I think the same.
The best Snapchat names are peaking at around $200 - $300; which in my opinion is ridiculous, considering you don't even have a web profile for Snapchat, and they've already had a few major security issues / leaks.
