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.

We all switch at least once a week... we thought you knew.

UconnTim97 12-14-2010 05:20 PM

Can I change mine now?

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.

kaisen 12-14-2010 05:35 PM

Can I change my name to Steve?

Gogar 12-14-2010 05:39 PM

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

450knotOffice 12-14-2010 05:43 PM

hehe...someone in AZ comes to mind :)

Heel n Toe 12-14-2010 05:48 PM

You meant to say "ARI-ZONEY."

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. :p

red-beard 12-14-2010 06:14 PM

Yeah, I need a coloring agent or a name change...

onewhippedpuppy 12-14-2010 06:49 PM

Just to be contrary I want to change mine to "Bad M-Fer".

Steve Carlton 12-14-2010 07:05 PM

I want to be "Lion Tamer"

porsche4life 12-14-2010 07:08 PM

Ive thought about having mine changed to E normous! Enormous Johnson!



But I don't like to brag....

M.D. Holloway 12-14-2010 07:12 PM

I would be willing to sell mine if the price was right...

porsche4life 12-14-2010 07:13 PM

2 asian hookers for a night?

M.D. Holloway 12-14-2010 07:18 PM

Working in the right direction!

Joe Bob 12-14-2010 07:22 PM

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?

Hugh Jorgen would be appropriate for me.

But I don't like to brag either.

Tobra 12-14-2010 09:00 PM

I always heard it as Hugh Johnson.

One I found out just recently is Rot 911 who used to be Kurt V... Dunno how long he has been Rot 911 already...

How does one change his name anyway, do you need to contact Wayne for that?

rnln 12-15-2010 12:13 AM

uhh..umm... blah blah.

tabs 12-15-2010 12:47 AM

I am pleased to meet you, I hope U guess my name.

azasadny 12-15-2010 01:48 AM

There are so many "azasadny's" that I'm glad I got this name 1st!!!

Rick V 12-15-2010 02:09 AM

I was thinking of using Hugh.G.Rection but I already have too many lady troubles, no need to ad to it. :)

oldE 12-15-2010 02:20 AM

I latched onto the "oldE" name because my car is a '69 E. Now, after almost 10 years I'm sort of used to it.
Besides, if I changed the name at this stage of my life, I probably wouldn't remember it. :confused:

When I joined Pelican, kart racing was all I thought about (except for sex of course), so I thought 125shifter was a good representation of who I was. Plus it was a little more incognito than my real name.

Five years later I'd had about all the karting that I wanted so the name didn't really fit anymore.

Earlier this year I curiously looked up the username "David" and found that it was taken by somebody who joined several years ago, posted once, and never logged back on. I asked Wayne if I could switch and he said done.

For the record my name isn't really David Martin, it's Gern Blandsten.

Manually changing these logon IDs has become a maintenance hassle. What do you guys think about randomly reassigning IDs with every visit? That might be fun for awhile. Maybe I'll make this a sticky-poll and let the community decide.

Wayne R....

Rednine11 12-15-2010 04:26 AM

How about
Dixie Normous
or Peter Dragon

DARISC 12-15-2010 04:29 AM
