Nickname change (read first post!)

I want to move past Richard James2 and finally get Linda Gradac established. If we can make that happen—and I’m really hoping we can—it would be a huge win. 🙂

It’s a bit of a significant shift, sure, but go run it by Tyndall. If he’s on board, then we’re good to go.

Is there anyone else here using the name _Azur_? I couldn't find any other profiles with that handle.

I went ahead and read the first post, but I usually just stick to posting within my own thread about my office fax machine. Would that be okay?🙂

If that’s your logic, then you aren't reading the rules carefully enough, because you already violated the first three guidelines. The only reason I didn't just delete your post immediately is because you mentioned reading the opening post. So, to answer your question: no.

Since my username is basically my real identity, I’m worried about privacy leaks and people figuring out who I actually am... would it be possible to get an exception to the rules? Maybe I could use a handle that isn't so obviously linked to me...

No. Just try being a little creative and resourceful by coming up with something that feels similar to what you have now—maybe just using a small part of it...😉

Joseph Gomez39?

I really think it’s doable... You might want to double-check with Tyndall just to be safe, since you have to reach out to him about those changes anyway...

Can I change my username to Adam King?
Most people who mention me just type out Adam King in their posts anyway. It’s shorter, easier, and there’s no confusion about who they’re talking about.

You can. Just reach out to Tyndall.

Is the handle Morales available, or has someone already snatched it up?

edit: Just did a quick search through the user list and looks like the nickname Morales is actually free!

Wait, scratch that. The name is taken:

Is there any way I could just change the first letter of my handle? Like, maybe just make it a Q? Or switch it to Q-babe?

Nah, Q-babe is off the table. But wearybear75 (if I’m following you correctly) is totally doable. If you really want to go with wearybear75, just hit up Tyndall.

But they have a lowercase letter at the start, plus they only have one single post, so...

Anyway, why don't you check out the very first post? 🤦

The forum doesn't actually distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.

I wonder if Lawrence Torres22 might be able to assist with this particular matter?

It is certainly possible. I would suggest you reach out directly to mellowraven22 regarding the details.

Could you change my username to "Arthur Morgan2"?

Sure thing, just reach out to mellowraven22.

Can Laura Mendoza handle it? I certainly hope I have enough capital to get started too 😁

In fact, we’re all for these kinds of changes! Just reach out to mellowraven22.

Done. And what if we just ditch the hyphen altogether so everyone stays happy?

Sure thing, no problem at all. Thanks! 😁

Without the hyphen, it just looks off. 😁
BlondyRi. Better that way. 😁
I know, I know... not my business. 😬

If you were talking about using a space instead of a dash, BlondyRi already exists—though they only have one post, and they haven't been around long.

But Blondy should really have a capital letter there. You make a fair point jadetrucker43, I can't stand seeing things smashed together like that either. If they could just write it as Blondy ri, that would be ideal; if not, I guess we'll just have to live with it. Still. 😁

I would like to formally request that my username be changed to hiddenhound3 🙂

That can certainly be done. Please reach out to Tyndall to finalize the change.

Haven't checked if there are other variations of Blondy-ri out there yet. Nah, just leave it like this.
