name changes = stupid

cthomer5000 · 04-04-2009, 04:08 AM

It annoys me to no end reading through old threads going "who the fuck is this clown, and why don't i remember that post at all?" only to later find out it's some long-timer member who changed their user name 7 times.

why did anyone allow this at any point? if you're that serious about it, sign up under a new name.

Antmeister · 04-04-2009, 04:53 AM

Why does this bother you now? This has been going on for years and I bet you will change your name in two years. I can see you changing to CoreyT or ZombieApoc or CurtainProcrastinator or DepressMode or maybe HalfEmptyGlass. And then we will bump this thread.

Abe Sargent · 04-04-2009, 04:59 AM

For me, it was simply that, as the online and real life world continue to collide, the concept of anonymity by using a handle seemed outdated, and thus I changed to my rl name. That seems reasonable to me.

It took me like, at least a year, to figure out that who I knew as cthomo5000 was the one doing his own radio show. How two little letters can make us forget? Where's the smiley that expresses lament?

Didn't you change your name because you had a stalker?

DanGarion · 04-04-2009, 03:01 PM

I'm sorry, I'll change my name back to dangarion. I apologize for the confusion.

Yes & no.

Got permission to have a new account, leaving the old one up. That way she couldn't just look and see the old posts with a new name.

Pumpy Tudors · 04-04-2009, 04:12 PM

I remember back when I was using the name Shitty McShittenstein, but then somebody asked me to give it up because it was more appropriate for him. You may know that person as DeToxRox.

Passacaglia · 04-04-2009, 10:11 PM

I used to be Pasacaglia before we moved here in October 2000 (go f'in elitists!), because I made a typo.

MJ4H · 04-04-2009, 10:54 PM

I used to be Gorgonian around that same time but made a new account for some weird reason that I don't remember.

The worst is that one idiot who keeps switching back and forth between Eaglesfan27 and EagleFan. He changes like every day.

That just made me think of Robin Hood: Men In Tights

Prince John: Such an unusual name: "Latrine"; How did your family come by it?
Latrine: We changed it in the 9th century.
Prince John: You mean you changed it *to* "Latrine"?
Latrine: Yeah. It used to be "Shithouse."
Prince John: It's a gooood change.

You just went back to your original though. I don't think that counts. Or maybe it does. What the hell do I know?

Not sure what to make of it, but funny.

cthomer5000 · 04-05-2009, 11:41 PM

what brought this on:

I happened to be looking for an old thread, which i remembered because of a good post by someone specific. Then i couldn't find it because they weren't them anymore.

Then i eventually found it and just thought the whole rampant name changing was kind of silly. I realize the whole message board is silly, but it kind of screws with history in some way.
