While I don't want to spoil this fun parade as DT does whatever it can to curry the members' favor, but really, did you think this one through? I don't think it's appropriate and not fair to leave it to Bando to have to complain about it (which is not really in his nature to do).

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

Is this a serious post or a funny post?

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

I am inclined to agree. It's one thing to make that a joke name for a few days, but a permanent name change? Doesn't feel right, IMO.

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

Serious.

If that name change is ok, can my username be changed to "X is a dingleberry"? or if making fun of admins isn't cool, how about "kvrdave is a dingleberry" (cause making fun of dave is always cool)?

Has the pandering gotten so bad that you can't see that usernames that reference other users is a slippery slope you don't want to start down?

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

exactly. A few days of fun, sure, but this seemed like a permanent name change thread.

Did Groucho change his name to LurkerDan?

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

agree 100% Vibiana's obsession with bando is one thing...using his username in her's is an entirely new level. It's not okay.

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

Tranche.


Is "Vibiana's Enormous Genital's" taken?

Not that I want them. Just inquiring.

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

Just to make sure I was okay, I checked with Bandoman and he has no problem with my name change, possibly because he can take a joke. Unlike some people I could mention.

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

Vibia- I mean RunBandoRun and I have discussed this and I don't have a problem with the name change. She told me it was all in fun. She also told me that if I just could just try on these handcuffs so she could test the fit she would let me go right away. She hasn't come back in over an hour, but she'll let me go soon, right?

Guys?

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

Agreed.

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

As always, your comments are noted and I thank you for taking the time to post constructively. However, on this occasion, having checked things out, I am happy that the concern you feel is misplaced.

To keep the thread in question on track, I have split off this tangential discussion and would ask again that people do their best to refrain from disctracting from the job at hand.

Okay, I was initially a bit confused - and yes, a little creeped out - by Vibiana's name change to RunBandoRun. She and I spoke about it via PM, and now I'm comfortable with the change.

I do appreciate people speaking up for me, since they know I sometimes will not say anything negative even if I feel it. Since I was initially hesitant about this, they had no way of knowing I would ultimately be ok with it. It's not that they can't take a joke, they were looking out for me.

I think Bando is still trapped and typing in code. The prime number characters in that message read: "hElp, SgT in on It too".

re: The one and only "discussing other peoples name change" thread
 

I'll ask here as well:

We were trying to loosen some of the rules that people have been complaining about for years.

Your point is taken though and the mods will be discussing this to try to come up with a solution.

Re: Name change opportunity - Sunday 23 June to midnight (GMT) Saturday 29 June
 

So you really want to permanently change your username, the way that everyone here identifies you, including new members who haven't joined yet, for a joke?

Should I change my name to dasMonkey's Mojo?

re: The one and only "discussing other peoples name change" thread
 

No, I should not.

Okay, VEG.

Nobody up for taking 'GeoffK' yet?

Hmm, the forum code auto-changed that from 'g k l e i n m a n' without the spaces.
