Poll: Have you ever changed your username?

[KefkaCultist]

I wasted my free name change with a typo (I had KefkaCulist at first, so I had to add the t).

I've contemplated PMing nasrin about a name change, but I don't know what I'd rather go with.

 

[No social life]

I wasted my name change when I got drunk after a breakup, it taught me a valuable lesson.

Not only does alcohol not mix well with a jacuzzi and a flammable liquid, it also does not go down well with the internet.

 

[Fijiman]

No I have not and I have no plans on changing it anytime soon either. Fijiman is fairly short, simple, and easy to remember.

 

[Olas]

Never changed mine, I've been using it since long before I had even heard of the escapist. I have no intention of changing it now.

Besides it's already on the escapist signature wallpaper.

Snip

Why do you have my friend Nouw's avatar?

 

[ZehMadScientist]

I think I have, but I don't have the foggiest of what my username used to be. Knowing my past self, it's probably something that I thought sounded cool at the time, like Ulimate Smash Brawler or Death Grinder or something equally ridiculous.

Or something from an anime, that's also a possiblity.

 

[Evil Smurf]

I had my full name as my username, so I changed it to Evil Smurf after a week or so

 

[ParadiseOnceLost]

I have not changed my user name but I have been considering because this one is so old. I have no idea what my new user name should be.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Nope, and I don't plan on changing my username either.

I'm quite fond of it and I like pretending I'm a toaster.

 

[Woodsey]

No, never changed the avatar either.

 

[JoJo]

Why do you have my friend Nouw's avatar?

We were both players in the Great Swap of 2012, which is now over.

 

[Darren716]

Not on this site but my first username was Darrena21 (don't ask why I had a 21 because I forgot too), then I changed it to Darrena716 and then I finally removed the A because it made people think my name was Darrena and I was a girl

 

[TheMann]

I would like to change my username. Mainly I just want it to be The Mann, rather than TheMann. Many forums don't allow spaces in usernames so when I made mine I was operating under that pretense. The thing is, I don't know how to change my username. There's no option for that in the profile edit. Could someone maybe tell me how to go about doing this?

 

[PsychicTaco115]

But who's ever heard... of a psychic taco?

I don't even know what I would change it too, since I'm now the new taco guy (I think. Please don't beat me with anti-stupid pill stuffed swordfishes if I'm wrong! D

 

[JokerboyJordan]

Yes... In the sense I spelt it wrong the first time and made a new account to correct it, since I couldn't use the same email. Didn't realise I could change >.<

 

[Simple Bluff]

I've stuck with "Bluff" ever since I got tired of just punching random keys for a username, and that was before joining the Escapist. I'll add the "Simple" part if Bluff is already taken (and it usually is, being so generic and all).

To be honest, I'm not quite sure why I even like it, but it almost seems inseperable at this point.

Look under "Update Account Information" on your profile, you're only allowed one change through that though. Any future changes have to been requested ad hoc through the staff.

 

[Dogstile]

I have kept my username since I made it 11 years ago. I was 8 when I made it. It is unfortunate I didn't understand why people were making jokes at my expense until I was 10.

 

[RanD00M]

The only thing I have done to it is that there used to be O's instead of 0's

 

[smithy_2045]

No, but my username here is completely different to the usernames I use elsewhere.

 

[The Hero Killer]

I never changed it on here but I changed my xbox live gamertag. It was Darkknight7989 and everybody used to always give me crap about my name being from the Nolan movie when actually it was inspired by Cecil from Final Fantasy.
