Nickname change (read first post!)

No.

Hi, can I change my username to Karen Richardson28?👍>

Sure. Just get in touch with Nicole.>

Hey, I really need a new username, please. I messed up big time and accidentally put my actual full name and birth year in my profile—now I’m feeling super exposed online. It was a total lapse in judgment on my part, and I've basically nuked my own privacy, so I’m asking for some grace here. I know the rules say you can only make tiny tweaks to a handle—like maybe changing a lowercase letter or something minor—but my situation is a bit more extreme than that. I'd really appreciate it if you could just help me out and change my name to:
d3nny98

You can actually request a more significant nickname change—if you’d just bother to read the opening post of this thread more carefully—but for heaven's sake, come up with an actual decent handle instead of those endless strings of numbers.

Hey there,
I’m looking to ditch my current username because, frankly, it’s a total privacy nightmare—it’s basically my real name and actual birth date sitting there for everyone to see. I’ve only made maybe three or four posts so far, but since I’m planning on being around this platform a lot more often, I really need to cover my tracks. 🙂
If it’s doable, I’d love to switch my handle to The GOP.

If that works, just shoot Nicole a message.

According to the rules, users with fewer than 50 posts are allowed a complete nickname change, so there’s absolutely no need to justify why you want to switch things up. 🙂
It’s good to have you back on the forum, and I truly hope you find plenty of engaging topics to dive into.

Is there any way to actually strip the numbers out of my username?

I just want the name itself, you know? I set this account up ages ago and honestly, I really don't have the patience or the energy to go through the whole hassle of starting from scratch with a new one.

I'll clean this up.
edit: fixed 😉

Much appreciated🙂

So, since Halloween is creeping up on us, I was thinking about changing my username to "Jack o ' Lantern" in the next few days if that's possible?

Sure, just leave out the apostrophe. Just reach out to Nicole.

Could we get a quick update for: analogmarlin4

Nah. It’s not even close to how things look today.

Can I swap my handle to Kyle Flores3?

Kyle Flores32 is still around, I guess, but they haven't done a single thing in like 16 years—hardly any posts at all, really—so it's probably fine, just reach out to Nicole.

Could I please change my username to Jeffrey Doyle9? I’m definitely not the same person I was back in 2008 when I first signed up 😁

LOL. Sure, just reach out to Nicole 🙂

Hey, can we get a change made for John Thompson40?

Come up with something that doesn't involve numbers. And feel free to include 🙂

John Thompson40?

Sure thing. Just reach out to Nicole. 🙂

Hey there, would it be possible to make a quick change over in neonmarlin49?

I was just thinking about my last post and wondering if we could actually go with this instead: Cold Cold Heart
Tnx

Sure thing, just reach out to Nicole.

Can we get a change in Gregory Nguyen? This just isn't working for me anymore, honestly.

Sure thing. Just reach out to Nicole.
