Can I change my user name and still maintain my status?
Hey guys,
I have been on this site for 4 or so years now. I started as Bose Pro because I was working for Bose and would post in the HT sections. I have not worked for Bose for over a year now and no longer post in the HT section. I tend to hover around the DVD exchange and Games sections. I also am allowing my girlfriend to post so that she can post DVDs FT and FS. Can I change my user name and still maintain the status of being a user for so long?

If you've established a presence here, then they tend to say no. But with your post count, they'll probably allow it.
suggest a new name for them to change it to.

And while we're at it, when using "mocking quotes," you do not quote the "so called" portion. The MLA Handbook has a whole section on moderator mockery.

I have never been real interested in being a mod ; however, sometimes a guy likes to be asked now and then
I hope Bose Pro gets a name change becuase it does lead to little comments from others whenever he posts no matter what the actual content of his post is.
I think this can lead to problems over the long run between members.

How about changing it to something that will get a little more respect. I'm thinking "Percy Dovetonsils".
