Puff Diddly-Doofus? Caitlyn Jenner? Prince? Google? Big/little Amy?

I can't see your faces. So when you change your names and/or avatars, I have no idea who you are any more.

Just pick a name, stick with it already & quit confusing me!

I'll totally second that emotion. As soon as people start changing names, it takes away part of the community. So I'm going to politely suggest that people return to their "usual" names. We have a great group here, and I hate to see it go away.

Thank you.

But as I'm selling my G-body, what am I without a G-body?

You can still be G-body-man. That's how we know you.

Can I use the -man suffix to become GMT400_Man?

Sorry, I'm just not going to remember that. In my mind, at least, when someone changes their user name, it's like they're a new person. Just my 2 cents.

Beer baron and slefain are different.....I'm pretty sure...right? This is so confusing. Also ignorant had at least one or two more names thrown in there.

Was SFO 92celicahalftrac? If so, I've been lurking for a while.

Beer Baron is Salanis.

I've had at least 3 names, but nobody has really had problems following me for whatever reason. I'll be sticking with this one.

You know what, I'll do it in two stages. I'll change my avatar, then in a month or two, I'll change my username. That way, forum regulars can get adjusted to the permanent avatar.

Let me just say this about that, and then I need to set the table for dinner. We have many members who have been important contributors to this community for ages: EastCoastMojo, curtis73, aussiesmg, alfadriver, 16vCorey, MadScientistMatt, etc. When I see a post by them, I know exactly who they are.

I've been neon free for over 2 years now. For me it is part identity, part "i can't think of a new name".

Don't forget the name cycle of John Brown/Quasi Mofo/...

I've had a few glasses of wine and this thread is enormously entertaining.

I'm still Gary, and will remain Gary. It's my name and that's what my wife calls me. And I happen to really like my avatar picture because it means a lot to me. So I'll always be me here!
