Is this source reliable ?


There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

^Despite the fact that they never actually played the sport? Wink

For ages I've been thinking of changing my name to something that was taken by someone who registered about five years ago, left five minutes later and never returned. No posts at all during that five minute PA career. But like all big decisions in life, I'm taking my time thinking it over...

That would certainly explain your problem.  LOL

And do political views count in that also?  TongueWink


Hey man, that really really hurt. Cry Tongue

I have been known to change my avatar and signature on occasions, but the old ones keep pulling back in, they keep pulling me back in.

And no way in hell am I giving up this screen name...
unless the price is right. LOL

A useful question for which I have no useful or silly answer.

On second thought, I think they should be retired like old sports player's numbers.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Many of us have changed their screen name at one point - I used to be Ghost Rider, until last year I decided to go with a short form of my real name. So, you see, it's no big deal!

Yes. Just PM an admin with your request for a name change.

I suspect I already know the answer, but thought I would ask - is it possible to request a user name change here?

Sorry if this in the wrong section...
