Too many people using the ability to change their Display Name to hide or at least muddy the ability of the moderators to observe who is becoming a problem and who isn't.  I've threatened to do this in the past, and people straightened out, but I think the site is getting too big to really allow this type of stuff anymore.

There's a "name change" function. :o

I have no problem keeping Electrophile.  It's shorter, it sounds cooler and it's more me.

Yeah, you can change your display name.  I only ever really used it to put special characters in my name.

I think I'll stick with MamaK unless someone can think of something better before Chucky turns it off ???

80s cheerleader.

I've kept Howard for 4 years now.

Hmmmm, I was thinking of changing mine to CatwomanofV. What do you think?  ;)


Anyway, THANK YOU CHUCKY!!!! I can't tell ya how many times I get confused when someone changes their name-AGAIN!!!

nah, that's sooooooo last year ;)

I like Big Bad Mama like the Angie Dickinson outlaw mom and daughter movie from the 70's but Mama_K is cool.

guess i'll stick with tia, here.

Awww... I guess I'm good with Meat! But I may feel like going to DominEl one day again... :S

Didn't realize there was such a feature. . .but I support that decision--the site is too big to have that feature.

AL-B works for me.

(Though I kinda wish I could still have the option to turn into "La Sine Pesroh" once in a while.  ;D)

I am sooo glad the name change option is going away.  Now I won't be so confused anymore :D

I'd better stick with my regular name.  If I go and add those special characters in my name, knowing my luck, it will totally screw up the boards like it did once before (btw i'm still sorry about that lol)

I'm good with my name - unless I need to remove the musical notes.
And Son of Tam is happy with his too.

I never even bothered to think of a user name in the first place, maybe I should now before it's too late ..............

If you like it, then that's what is most important.  8)  personally, I like Sister Morphine

I know you do......you can still think of me as SM if you want.  :)

I have always been Philip Eno, from day one on this and other boards. I have always kept for someone could come along and take from you when you have changed.

good decision Luke.

I will never give it up!

I'm glad of that, because there can only be one Philip Eno

Found one of their videos on YouTube ... "Time Travel" by Phillip Eno

It appears to be Electronica music

I will listen to it properly tonight, but they do sound like Kraftwerk.

I don't think you should change it

I've been rather content with mine, but I wanna figure out if this is the one I really want.. I'll consider, but so far I've found no good, lasting alternatives..

Apricot?  ;)

I'll stick wiith my name.

I like Ash, but wish I could do away with the stars on either side.  I've also been toying with changing it to Mariposa...any thoughts?

I've been thinking of dropping my pseudonym and just using my real name (Jeffrey), and continuing to use the alias on Amiright and Amiwrong...but I've been using the pseudonym since January of 2003 so I might as well keep it.

Don't change it Jeff.

I prefer Ash (with or without stars).  Mariposa sounds either like a nuns name or like a brand of disinfectant to me  :-\\

I love you, Karen.  It actually means "butterfly" in Spanish, but after hearing from you I think I'll just stick with Ash.  (I have to keep the stars because there are already a bunch of other "Ash" usernames.)

yes it's how we all know and love you!

Thanks Gis.

I have contemplated changing it but I thought about the possible consequences: it might confuse too many people.

;D

In Spanish slang, it also is a really derogatory term for a gay person. :P

Thank God I have you guys...I was about to just go ahead and change it the other day!

There's also a porn star named "Mari Possa" (pronounced the same, though) ;) :o

;D

You should keep it as is...that's how I recognize ya. :)

I'll just stay as "Quirk". I used to be..."quirky_cat_girl"....but that was too long. Quirk sums it up well.

Too attached to mine to even want to change it.

You should change it to "Cat Girl Lover"

I already have Cat-girl Summoner as a custom title underneath it, so that's taken care of.

;)

I think I'll stick with Henk. It's been my name for the past 40 years, so I see no reason to change it.

You were originally "Faulty Dog", if I'm not mistaken.

I'm glad you're sticking with your real name...that's how I remember you. :)

I like mine. I liked my other name that I used before, but with this one no one knows me by it except all of you special board members, so it's kinda nice to stay incognito  :)  ;)

I like this one too...however, I'll always have a special place in my heart for Ultraviolet!!!  :D ;)

Yeah, I still use Ultraviolet on other stuff, but I may change it in the future, as well. I liked it when people called me UV, it was a good abbreviation for it.  ;D

I made the change.  if anyone really needs a change or anything, you can always ask me and wait for me to get to it...

Thank you, Chucky!  :)

I'd thought it was getting out of hand as well!

Jamminoldies? ???

Just a question, will we still be able to change our "custom title thingies" under our names?

Yes...you were originally Ultraviolet; I used to call you that before I found out your real name. ;)

I thought so too. All the name changes were making me so confused.

I don't think it would.  I mean, you'd still have the avatar, the under-avatar text and the signature.  We'd still know who you were.

Yes...and my current post tally would give it away too. I am nowhere near Philip in posts right now, and I am way ahead of ktel, who seems to have mysteriously disappeared. :-\\

  I liked UltraViolet better.  A great U2 song...

Son of Tam

Actually, this is Tam logged in the son's account. Just making sure his settings are still where I set them up at.
Didn't want to use mod status to go change his account either, cause that wouldn't be nice. ;)

Cool.  I wanted to give him some karamel for being such a great son and couldn't remember his username~DUH ME!!! ;D
sure, I see no problems with that.
Cool!  I just realized when I read that you had turned it off that I didn't have anything there ;D

Like I said before, once you go Danoota.....   ;)

I like "woops"

Though I've used "Electric Youth" on a few other sites and I'm a private person (though it's obivious from the quizzes posted)

There has been someone else who changed their name since Chucky turned it off.

Who?  Maybe he should allow people who use their own name to change it once or something like that.  Or give 30 days to newbies, and go through one of the moderators.  The wholesale name change thing was pretty awful.

Yes.  Marsh became Love Child of Oscar Wilde

correct...

personally, I wouldn't mind if the software was set up so that I could do something like "approve" a name change, like how I now need to "approve" a deletion request. I'd code it myself, but I really need to focus on inthe70s and inthe90s for the next month.

I wouldn't have even bothered changing the rule, but yes a few people abused it, but mostly it just got too hard to keep track of who is who. That in turn made it hard to keep track of who was being a pest, and also who was being a decent member of the board and might be deserving of a board of their own, etc.
