Ask a mod. This thread would be a good place to do so.

Yes... you need to ask a mod or admin to change your name now.
A MUCH better system IMHO

Feel free to pm an admin or mod with your request. In most cases, we will make the change.

Or then you can do like me... Ask Markos to change your name, and let his, err... leisurely approach to the issue show you that you really didn't want to change your name anyway.

I almost got used to what you were changing to. I haven't read Brin that much - Why didn't you do it?

I'm still curious why we can't do that ourselves. what was the problem with that? other than we lost track of who people were

I doubt I will change mine. The name I was thinking of, I can't remember. It was from a movie. It was a very small line in the movie. Does anyone know where I can get movie scripts? I could watch the movie, but I would like to get the spelling right.

although I was thinking of fartknocker...

but one I really like is from a faith no more song. Jizzlobber. I don't think they will let me use that name

as long as people don't equate dissidents with terrorists I have no problem. I like to think there is an important difference. And dictionary.com says there is as well.

Bag: I thought I already told it on the Suomithreadi... Because he's called pretty much divinely wise in the later books of the Uplift series, and I'm not THAT egotistical.

Is that what Infat did? Change his name?

Yes. More than once. Many times, in fact. I can't remember them all, but others probably can. At least he's stuck with Infatuation for quite a while now. (Now that I mentioned it, he'll probably change it if the mods let him .)

CYBERAmazon

(P.S. Well, I think he's still using the Infatuation handle. Or is it Ecthelion now? Oh, the heck with it all.)

He is now Buddingtom or something.

He's not Boddington's.

Starting with Nimrod, he has gone through Dookie, Warning:, Chasing Rainbows, and Infutuation.

Only DinoDoc is in the same class.

Ecthelion was Andz83, a kid from Germany.

Mortal Wombat - Its more than one letter, and it changes the entire meaning.

Why is there an apostrphe in Boddington's anyway. Is Dookie owned by a bloke called Boddington now?

Have I mentioned http://www.immortalwombat.com owned by the Mortal Wombat

er... replace "owned" by "controlled", and "bloke" with "beer" and you got it.

The beer is Boddingtons though. Not Boddington's or Boddington.

Really? I would have thought that "Boddington's" would be the natural permutation. Like "John Smith's" or whatever. Oh well. Just looked at their website and it seems they've been ungramattical since 1853...
