I think I want to change my username..

**pyroguy305** · 08-23-2007 11:01 PM

So I hear seeker is the all powerful one and has the ability to change my username.. My only problem is.. will people remember me and who I am... Who knows. This is senseless banter anywho. What do you guys think I should do. (MY thought was to change my name to Colby Why) Cause thats my name and my last name starts with a 'Y'..

This is why you should have an Avatar

You could always put your former identity, in this case pyroguy305, in your Signature for a week or so.

I always have trouble finding an avatar that suits me, cause I can't make them (except with Ms Paint.. yuck!) and I'm interested in so much that its hard to pick one area to focus on with an avatar.. Anyone wanna help me out??

I should get a good avvy then stay really active for a couple of days

O yea see thats my big problem..
I'm not really a pyro... see I was for like a month, and I just thought it was a cool prefix, so it kinda stuck.. so i'm trying to stray away from fire related things..

**pyroguy305** · 08-24-2007 02:26 AM

Does anyone even think that Colby Why is a good username? Clever at all?? Anyone want to help me think of one that has something to do with dreaming or my name or something?

**Oneironaught** · 08-24-2007 05:23 AM

Umm, yeah. I just got done ranting about this (as I have in the past around DV).

Don't choose something dumb to begin with.

**Pirate** · 08-24-2007 05:40 AM

**Wavefunction** · 08-24-2007 05:48 AM

AdamA asked for a change, he's now Adam.
burns, seeker, pj, and asher can change them, but only once... if you ask nicely, and

**pyroguy305** · 08-24-2007 05:54 AM

Yea I'm really sorry about wanting to change it, cause I know that can get annoying and confusing but I have just always used pyroguy for everything and I think its time for a change cause I don't really like fire that much anymore...

**Pirate** · 08-24-2007 05:56 AM

mann-von-traumen!!!!!

You don't have to apologise. Just make sure that you decide on something you can live with for a good long while because there's a sudden tsunami of members asking for name changes and - while the staff are very nice - they do have lives and don't want to be tending to every one's gardening every time they have a whim for a name change.

As far as I recall, the administration usually require a good reason to change user names. I'd imagine "wanting" to have a different name for no better reason wouldn't be enough.

Well, AdamA just got his changed to "Adam" because he wanted it

**Man of Steel** · 08-24-2007 09:00 AM

I'm just glad I chose my name well in the first place. It means something, it has capitals, is totally devoid of random numbers, and is, quite concincidentally of course, the name of a great character. (Me. Duh.)

**pyroguy305** · 08-24-2007 03:54 PM

Yea, I'm really putting some thought into my next name.

**Goldney** · 08-24-2007 04:06 PM

Actually I would quite like to change my name as well. I think that: g0|Dn€Y would be good.

Nah, it's either Goldney or Mercutio.

Hasn't Howie had like 5 different names?

I think that "Colby Why" is a fine user name and pretty clever (since "Colby" is your first name and your last name starts with a 'Y').

I approve of the name (tho I don't have the power to change it for you).

Also if people start to ask you about the "Why" part, you could always put an explanation in your signature.

**Goldney** · 08-24-2007 07:13 PM

Or you could just say, "Why not?"

**Pirate** · 08-24-2007 07:15 PM

why dont you just do mann von traumen??
