Do you regret your username? : Othor Games

» Sun Oct 04, 2009 8:48 pm

I've seen a few people on here say that they made their account just to ask a single question, without really putting much thought into their username. They then decided to stick around (lured by fishy sticks I guess) and ended up with an embaressing name. I did the same thing - it's just my youtube name, and now it doesn't really make any sense.

Anyhoo, what about you guys?

Nah, I rather like my username. I sort of wish I could change in to Mazkah, because that is what I now use for my usernames, but I still think my current one is good.

I didnt intend to stay on here as i only came for tips on oblivion and any glitches present. But then i found that there is a dedicated lor section and general discussions so i kinda stayed. I dont regret my name because i had a super powerful mage in oblivion that owned everybody, and then someone i know called him supermage, so i used that instead of his other nickname (the loincloth of power).

I was planning on staying for a while since the beginning, and due to my critical lack of imagination i use this handle pretty much everwhere.

...Which may bite me in the ass sooner or later.

yes

Yes, kinda.

I couldnt believe my username was available when I signed up. I like it.

Yep, I definitely regret mine. It was my old school username, and I couldn't think of anything better at the time, so now I have the incredibly catchy name "Ess jay van zero". If I could change it, I'd probably make it SirCannonFodder, like in most places.

yes

No. Yours is awesome.

I just regret not capatilising the 'T' in my user name.

:whisper: You can PM a mod to capitalize it, like I did with my name.

I no longer use "Hungry Donner" elsewhere on the internet but I certainly don't regret it

» Sun Oct 04, 2009 11:58 am

yes

Really? Why? Yours has always stuck me as a pretty good name, it's short, distinctive, and sounds enough like a real word that it's easy to remember without actually being a real word.

'Nay, it has served me well, for many years, in many battles. 'Tis certainly a name I bear with honour, and joy.' *Raises flagon* Huzzah!

After the initial Olaf-merchandise jokes, I've found myself at ease with the old name.

Is it possible to get a mod to change your whole name?

i would like to change my name again, i always use Piers Arkan everywhere else...oh well..

» Sun Oct 04, 2009 7:30 pm

Nope. It's a good, powerful name that few can forget.

It's highly unlikely. It has to be done by admin, and if it's changed, we have problems tracking your snarky, offtopic and flammable posts.

My name fits me, I think.

Nope. Minor changes, like removing numbers, or swapping numbers for letters are allowed, IIRC, but complete changes are not allowed, unless it's an extremely special request (I think there has been a case or two of that happening...)

It's due to the extra work in keeping track of who's who.

So, want a new name? A new account's the only solution.

Of course, a mod has just ninja'd me.

» Sun Oct 04, 2009 5:54 pm

Nope. my name is awesome like the rest of me.

» Sun Oct 04, 2009 2:00 pm

Nup. It's almost my real name so I'm pretty happy with it.

You say that like I've ever made any

Small changes such as a spelling mistake or capitalising will probably be acceptable for change - anything else, nope.

I am happy with my user name although I don't use it elsewhere apart form a couple of other related forums.

God yes I hate my name.I originally joined in hopes of talking a bit of Oblivion and I intended on staying but at the time I could come up with nothing better.If I could change it it would be General Mills44 like everything else.

Nup. It's almost my real name so I'm pretty happy with it.

Is your name Nick by any chance?

I wish i could change my username to ninja or something with nick in it (my names nick

)

» Sun Oct 04, 2009 8:52 pm

Yeah, actually. I made this when I was like 14. Stupid, stupid name. I made another account a few years back, but now I'm back to this one.
