Losing My Name!

Chimera · 26th January 2002, 06:24 AM

Boo! Hiss! In the most recent move, I lost my User Name to someone else, dagnabit!

Been using that screen name for too long to have this happen.

who were you before?

Take it to the Meta Forum, and e-mail Piratecat.

Yeah what was your old name? "Chimera"?
If it was, I can see how it was taken.

I would advise to post this either on the META Forum or, more directly, to send an email regarding the problem to Morrus or Piratecat. IIRC, this kind of problem has been dealt with before.

Hope this helps!

I verified your problem, and I've emailed the current chimera. You'll have your old name back as soon as I hear from him or her; I'll email you when that happens.

Moved to meta!

Thanks PC! I've been using that name since the mid-80's in one form or another. As you can see, I was oh-so-imaginative in trying to come up with a new one.

but man your #2002 ! Where the heck have you been the last week ?

I had a few username issues after the move to the new Boards also...although mine stemmed from deciding to change my ID. Nonetheless, PC and morrus were very helpful in bringing about a pleasant resolution.

BTW, welcome back!!

On Vacation, man! I wasn't really gone all that long. Been back a little while but had some problems signing in! There was a little thing with a changing e-mail address (I changed ISPs) that caused me some confusion. I thought it was a simple password issue, until I went and looked for my name and found it....occupied.

**Piratecat** · 28th January 2002, 05:10 AM

It's been changed! You're back to Chimera. He's been changed to Chimera King.

Chimera · 28th January 2002, 09:04 PM

THANK YOU!

And yeah, the board Gods did smile, and I became Chimera once again.

And all was right with the Universe.

Maybe he wanted to be number 2002. It is sort of prestigious being as it's the year of the new boards and all.

<laugh> I actually DM the gentleman who has been using your "Chimera" handle.... apparently he's been going by the nickname for awhile, too (though, probably not as long as you)....

He's a good guy, and he and his fiancee are two of the nicest people I've come to meet....

<smirk> not that anyone cares, of course.....

I care. He seemed upset; please let him know that it wasn't anything personal.

Thanks!
