ElizabethB Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 did they? I was wondering where some have gone and why there were so many newbies There are several people lately with 500 - 1000+ posts that have changed their names that I just noticed the changes within the last few days. If you click on the name then name change history or something like that, you can find out who they used to be, but is is still mildly annoying.

Ohdanigirl Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I am one of those. I was intending on changing my name for awhile, but I didn't get around to it until recently. My reason? Well, when I joined I had been a lurker for a few years, but wanted the ease of searching the forums that came with being signed in. I didn't expect I would come out of lurkdom and, so, wasn't very creative with my name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'm still me. Honestly, even if I *did* change my nic, I don't think ppl would actually notice. They'd read my replies, "Oh, Imp's saying..." and a new name change wouldn't get noticed. Unless it was a thread I started. That could mess some ppl up. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Can we change our name but keep our post count? I lived in NC for exactly one year of my whole life but it happened to be the year they switched the board to the old new format and I had to stick with a name. So stupid me picked Heather in NC. Then I moved 6 months later. Ugh. But I won't change it because I don't want to be a newbie again. Silly, I know. But I will change it if I can keep my post count.

I changed my name - just didn't want my actual name showing up. I left it in my siggie line, though, so there goes the whole, "Hey, let's be a little more anonymous on the internet" theory. And just ftr, I haven't ever gotten chocolate for playing bassoon. Someone canceled a gig on me this week, and sent me a $100 gift card to Wal-Mart to make up for it. That works :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Sorry to add to the confusion. While our good moderaters were preparing the new boards, I was preparing to take a stalker with an interest in underage girls to court. It all turned out well, but since he dug up everything he could about our family off the internet, I thought it prudent to switch to a less searchable name. I didn't expect the change to coincide with lots of other name changes. But my new name is much more awesome and literarily referential. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuddleJumper1 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Guilty of changing. But being a virtual unknown here I don't think it will confuse anyone. :lol: I was stumped when I joined and just put in any name but I really never liked it. My new name is a variation of my usual online name. Makes me feel like myself again :thumbup1: . It also let me put up my avatar. I could never find one I liked for my original name and this one just feels like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I changed my name back and glad I could. This is the name I used on the old old board and until last spring when I was paranoid (well, is it really paranoid when some crazy woman really *does* have it out for you?). I kinda thought my change wouldn't be so problematic though since it was the name I used so long prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
