How do I change my name here?

#1

Post by HorserloverFat »

I'm thinking about changing it here in order to avoid any problems. The members at BladeForums have been giving me **** over it. I'm not fat and I don't love horses. :rolleyes: A friend suggested the name of a character from a Philip K. Dick science fiction novel and we thought that it would be funny. A few members @ BladeForums have really gotten their blood pressure up over it and hurled all kinds of invective at me. Anyway, what do you think ? Can you handle it or should I change it? Thanks to all here for not freaking out over it ! :)

Well, at least no one is bothered enough by it in order to comment ! :)

The members here sure are a lot nicer than those at BladeForums ... :eek:

If I were trying it I believe I would PM Tazkristi and ask. But there may be problems doing it with this, I assume, Linux forum software. Another possibility would be to get permission to close your current account and open a new one, but if I remember correctly, there was a message a couple of months ago indicating that no new memberships were being accepted at the time.

In either case, if you succeed, it would be nice if you would put something in your avatar or signature, like "AKA Horselover" for two or three weeks so we'll know it's you.... unless you want to start all over from scratch with a new idenity :)

I'm not too worried about it here as everyone has been cool about it. However, BladeForum is a different story. But I ain't changing it to "Zorro" as in "The Gay Blade" like a friend suggested ... LOL
