Why do you all keep switcing names???

I have been here like 7 years and every once in a while someone will switch names. I usually pick up on it when I see an avatar I recognize, but a different name. Then I go crazy trying to figure out who the person is, and what their old name was. It's ok to change avatars (since I read on the droid as well) but not names... It's confusing. If you pick a new name you should have to appeal to the PPOT forum to approve it and you better have a compelling reason.

At least some people put their old name in their signature.

Someone should do a study on how people remember this stuff.

I bet the memo didn't get to him.




















I have been thinking about changing mine as "Oh Haha" came from a different time in my life. Not a bad thing but not really relevant now.

The fellas I have noticed who have changed usually do it because of crazy ex-wives who are snooping. Damn clown attorneys anyway.

That was pretty easy to spot. 125shifter was the latest one I noticed. I'd never had figured it out but the avatar was the same.

If you do, I want to start using "kaisen", just to really screw with his mind.

I wonder if I can get our resident industrial hygienist to the stars to lend me his name. It'd go OK for me.

What other trades would go well?
