Hmm I don't like this either...not only for the reason Grojlach mentioned, but because it gets DAMN annoying trying to work out who is who when ppl keep changing their names. I use this name everywhere and never change it and it makes it easier on everyone. Ok so unless it is already taken.

Oh dear. I think I might have opened a can of worms here. I can appreciate the problems it will cause. Promise not to change mine again - may I keep this one though, please
Well spotted Rikard - I couldn't completely lose the Will/Willow link. (BTW - I think I'm falling in love with you Rikard, just wish everyone would stop picking on you. Perhaps I could one day become maiden to your knight :sigh:. Bet you have a whole harem of admirers)

Hey, #1247, you're easy to remember - first the number 12, multiply that by 4 (numbers in your member number), equals 48, less 1, makes 47, so you're #1247. #4020, stop that! Only one name change per day allowed!!" |

Memnoch, would it not be an idea to make everyone who changes their name email one of you moderators, so that everyone knows who's who? Or maybe we could devote a thread to it? Just a suggestion [img]smile.gif[/img]

quote: ROFL! You don't have to remember them if you have them listed somewhere. All you need to know is the username, which from what I understand from this thread can't be changed. For most of the older members, I would bet you mods pretty much know who is who already. [img]smile.gif[/img] See, if I ever changed my display name, you would know it is me, simply because I mentioned the number thing. P.S. I made that post before I read your warning against impersonating other members...I see you have that part of it covered LOL. I also think that if anyone cares that we know who they are, they'd mention the change too. |
