Think we'll ever have a name-change amnesty like we did a
few years ago?

I don't like my user name that much, but I didn't change it when we had a chance back during "DU1" ... I like having on my profile that I've been with DU since the early days and I'd lose that, I assume, if I reregistered under a different name.

Sigh. Just wondering. Anyone else here wish they could change their user names but keep their old stats?

Mods - if this thread violates rules in any way, please delete. No harm intended.

5. yes, it probably would!
hadn't really thought about that. just pondering my user name. I guess if I really want to change it I'll just have to suck it up and start anew!

7. Not necessarily, just as long as the account number stays the same.
(Assuming the block functions on account rather than name, which makes more sense to me.)

































Sorry to ruin your fun. :P

3. I was away for a couple years. I came back,
re-registered with a new name and then found out my old identity was still here! I wanted to merge the two into one and keep my total post count. I was told they couldn't do that. So I just use this identity even though I have another with 240 or so posts.

I would think come election time they might allow name changes again since so many have names that are so specific to the current administration.

14. that's kinda what I was thinking, too...
all these "Clark08" or whatever people might want to change their names. I didn't want a name that tied me to anything in particular - a candidate, or a beloved pet, or a state - I just wanted something neutral. Maybe that's what I should change to -- "Neutral" !

12. I'd be "the poster formerly known as Oregonian"
No, actually, I'd kinda like to change mine, too. I jumped on DU with a name I didn't give much thought to... I didn't realize DU would become such an important part of my life when I started.

15. I know - I just chose something without
thinking I'd be still here, 5+ years later....
