Name Change

[BrooklynKnight]

heh.
thats actually funny! Considering id rather take my wifes name then keep mine. (When i eventually get married).

Oh..is that required?

Judging from experience, very likely yes.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

alright, i'll add it in. I dont see WHY it should be required though.

 

[Darkness]

To prevent confusion, I think. Like, when someone is quoting 'ArthurQ' and then some unfamiliar user called 'BrooklynKnight' continues the discussion. Or when you're posting to a thread you started (the thread starter's name doesn't change in the forum index, as shown by this thread).

So, if you're not Arthur Q, what are you? What changed? I'm curious. It'd be like if Piratecat changed his name to Hidalgo'sBane. We'd ask why.

Y'know, one of my friends has a theory that a good rock and roll band name should be something you can shout in a concert and sound cool. For instance, "Guns n Roses" is good. "Amidst the Badgers" is not, even though it sounds kinda cool on its own. And "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince" is right out.

If I had a penny for every time i had shouted out "Admist the badgers"......

I still think that they are both cool names. Anfd I wan't to know the why too

How strange. I can't imagine how someone could not realise why this was so. Different planets, I guess.

As for why i'm no longer ArthurQ. Simply, I'm no longer the person I was when I joined this forum, and others as ArthurQ.

Its time I left that alias, and persona behind.

Same Individual, Diffrent Person.

As for why it wouldnt be so, A person could just as easily create a new name on the forums. They arent required to put their old name into their profile. Especially if you're trying to disassociate yourself from that name.

Besides, My nickname is still the same, My signature is also the same (and has arthurq in it no less!)

Its required, then fine. We are from diffrent planets Morrus, very diffrent ones. Though i dont appreciate the very subtle quip you tossed at me.

You and I need to talk at some point. Quite definatly.

I'm frankly at a loss why you would delete that, after it was obvious that an admin or moderator added it to your sig. It certainly wasn't added because changing sigs is my new hobby. It has also consistently been the rule for everyone who has had a name change over the last three years, and there's no reason to make an exception. If you would like to start a new user name and avoid the sig, you're welcome to do so.

Unbelievable. And if you have the temerity to try a "just wait 'til your father gets home!" attitude with the owner of this web site, you may want to consider spelling "definitely" correctly. It makes the veiled threat that much more effective.

Threat? what? no?!
