Before you take a bite, maybe try checking if things are actually ready for weaning first... 😁
Just kidding. Honestly, I find myself biting them like an idiot too, probably because my stress levels are through the roof. But I have heard that using a specific soothing balm can help; you just have to force yourself to be disciplined enough to apply it regularly.
So, I have a question here, purely for informational purposes...
1. Abortion—specifically, the what, the how, and the why. Essentially, what does the actual procedure entail, what are the potential consequences, and what are the statistical risks or failure rates involved?
2. Where can this be done, and what is the total timeline for the whole process, including recovery time?
3. What kind of costs are we looking at?
Please don't come at me; nobody is actually planning on doing this, I am simply curious about the facts...
Anonymous said:Well, have you actually tried typing out Jonathan Morris40? 😎 It’s probably closer to that handle you’re chasing than GoGs777 would be... 😛 (I’m not entirely sure if the system will even allow it, I'm just wondering 😬)
I already tried, but no luck... the system just spits back an error saying the username is already taken.
At any rate, nobody really pays attention to signatures, yet they linger in everyone's subconscious regardless... I've seen it happen firsthand on this forum when people switch things up.
Think about how many people share identical first and last names, only to be distinguished by their birth year, a Social Security number, or even just their physical appearance—though we all know the avatar is what truly matters most.

The point is, you aren't trying to turn Joshua Davis18 into some lowlife (🤔 which is a pointless distinction) just because of database updates or because everyone would suddenly demand a change, right?
Previously, I might have argued this was a different issue altogether. People would actually grasp the distinction, but then we'd run into the problem of everyone wanting to swap nicknames at once. I remember seeing one online forum handle this perfectly; they set aside a specific window for changes, and required users to list their old handles in their signatures so people could adjust. It worked seamlessly.
As for myself, my request comes from the fact that quite a few people here recognize me, so... perhaps it doesn't matter much to the collective, but for me, it matters because I know there are plenty of regulars who would identify me instantly if things were different, even if they haven't reached out yet... 🙂
Well, that’s a shame then. I truly believed it was going to happen, but I suppose things change... so what now?
Furthermore, I don't see why people would complain or get confused about mixing up usernames when someone like Jonathan Morris40 isn't even active on the forum to begin with, and besides, I imagine users wouldn't mind seeing their post counts, avatars, and other profile details updated properly, so I don't foresee much of an issue here. Ultimately, the decision rests with you all, and I will respect whatever you decide...🙂
I’m neither exceptional nor special, despite what some people might assume, and frankly, I couldn't care less about that line of thinking.
The part that really baffles me, though, is why anyone finds this confusing in the first place.
If it isn't possible, then it simply isn't possible, and I have politely requested—and continue to request—that my wishes be respected. I never once asked to be given preferential treatment just because of my reputation. In fact, quite the opposite. I’ve been a member of this forum since its very inception, yet I chose not to register an account simply because I felt no immediate need to. I could have claimed any handle I wanted, but instead, we always seem to have these "lurkers" who just consume everything without ever actually contributing...
And yes, at the end of the day, a username matters far less than the quality of one's posts, but I wanted a specific identity so my old crew from other boards would recognize me, which might have even encouraged a few new members to sign up...
If this can't be resolved, there's no point in continuing this debate. You might as well just lock the thread...
Please, let’s not all jump to conclusions at once... 😁
The real issue is trying to get a hold of him since he hasn't been around in quite some time, especially considering he still uses that specific email address.
I must admit, I find this whole situation rather perplexing. His username is listed as "gogs," yet I was aiming for "GoGs." It seems rather odd to me that the platform doesn't distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters... I wonder if that's an inherent flaw within the actual source code itself...
Sophia Castillo35 said:Daze hit the nail on the head for the most part. However, they neglected to mention that using alt accounts—let alone sixteen of them—is strictly against the rules once you've been banned, otherwise every single one of those accounts gets hit with a permanent ban immediately.
And no, there’s no erasing other users just because you happen to like their handle, especially since they haven't even been around that long. Sorry...
lol, this whole thing about the alt accounts is actually kind of hilarious 🤣
Fine, if it’s a no, it’s a no. I had to ask. Thanks for the reply.
So, I ended up registering under the handle 777 since the name Jonathan Morris40 was already taken.
Is there any actual way for you to change my username back to Jonathan Morris40? I use that specific handle across several different forums, and people generally recognize me by it...
There is an existing user registered as "Jonathan Morris40," but they haven't been active on this forum for quite some time. Specifically, their last activity was on: 03-30-2006 15:15
I’m hoping you might be able to assist me if there's any possibility at all, and I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong section—I honestly wasn't sure where this request belonged...
