You are hardly alone in that respect. -------------------- Live and learn - or die and teach by example.

Really, I recommend not changing it. The only (currently active) member with a name change is zap, and we still call him Randy. -------------------- Bleep! Expletive deleted. Bleepity-bleep-bleep.

FZ also used to be called Rook

And I was finding my own name to be increasingly inaccurate, and asked if I could change my name to the thing I'm going by practically everywhere else.

The other names on there were my attempt to humor Knight, who seemed oddly reluctant to change my name, when I know from experience that his two separate responses via PM took more effort than changing it would have been.

See, the difference as I see it is, I had no way of knowing when I chose my former names that I would become more active than I had been for months, or that my philosophy would change THAT drastically. On the other hand, everyone is new once, and the state definitely passes, so you knew when you chose it that it wouldn't always be applicable, unlike me.

And I'm Rook, and so's my wife!

NO ME.

Also, I would note that since "Newb" is winning by a landslide, you should probably just stick with it. It's what we all know you by now, and I don't think anyone actually associates it with you being new, considering you've been around for five goddamned years now.

The Obfuscated One Group: Members Posts: 15,667 Member No.: 146 Joined: 8-February 05	Yeah, since the thing that I was hoping for is in second, and a distant second at that, I think I'll just stick with Newb. On the bright side, this whole ordeal has been the most exciting thing to happen on this forum since old man FZ found a pillbug in his mashed potatoes! Also, NO I'M ROOKICUS! -------------------- Well, you know how college is. You're sitting there in your dorm room wearing nothing but your panties and a t-shirt that's far too tight, doing your advanced calculus homework, and your super-hot roommate who you've got a huge crush on comes in and says that the engineering student down the hall needs some help with a practical example of the benefits of flexibility in architecture, and the next thing you know you're making the beast with twelve backs and you've somehow increased a bust size.

A way to satisfy the people that DON'T want the name change and a way to satisfy the one person that does. You will be .... GNU-BEE!
