So tempted. Soo tempted. SOO tempted! But I can't find a nice enough picture. So you don't have to worry about Richard Brooks.

Please change my name to Heine Rammsteiner.

PLEASE STOP CHANGING YOUR NAMES SO MUCH

As a new member, I really can't keep up.

There have been about 20 name changes since I joined 13 days ago. Three every two days. A couple of people have even managed to change their names more than once in that time.

I know there's an "AKA" section, but it isn't always swiftly updated, and even when it is, some people have so many names in there that it's impossible to remember which one I saw them posting under before.

It's very difficult to form connections with anyone when I can't keep track of who they are from one day to the next :(

Sorted.

And I agree people change their names here an awful lot, possibly too much. It wouldn't be as much of a problem if everyone kept their aka fields current, but unfortunately not everyone does. I have my field ordered so that my most recently used name is listed at the end, but unfortunately not everyone does that either. I also don't change my name nearly as often as others.

once you hang around here for a while longer and get to know people you'll be able to tell who's who regardless of the name changes :monster:

It's not like I'm really changing my name that much I'm going back to a name I was already using before hand and which people here still refer to me as, my main reason for going back to it.

Oh and Monochrome Delirious was my original username on here, so again not like I really changed it and in the whole time I've been here I've only changed my name to something completely new 4 times, the Gems is my IRL nickname and Gemma is my actual name.

Honestly I don't see what the big deal is really. I'm not trying to kick up a fuss as I know we went through all the drama before hand but seriously it's not an entirely new username for me.

Anyways thanks for changing it Aaron I'll happily put Monochrome Delirious back in my AKA field and take Sprites away.

PLEASE READ THE AKA FIELD SINCE WE ARE REQUIRED TO FILL THEM OUT :awesome:

If you read my original post carefully you'll notice I do look at the AKA field, but it doesn't help a great deal.

It would be fine if it contained just one name, the one used most recently. I know there are reasons to have multiple names in there (reason one: you all change your names too much :P), but some lists are so long that I don't know where to look. As V mentioned, there isn't even consistency about whether to put newer names at the start or the end of the list.

It would also be fine if it was always up to date, but as I looked through the recent name changes before making that post, I could see a handful of cases out of the ~20 where it hadn't happened. The admin who makes the change could probably update it at the same time (not wanting to create extra work for them or anything though), so the old name would be visible immediately.

I can't force you to stop changing your names so much, nor am I really trying to. It was just something to think about. It seems like you've all known each other so long that you just go by nicknames rather than current usernames, but that makes it difficult to follow, being so new here, when a name is used in IRC or a thread and it doesn't match up to any member.

This is why people should have ONE name in their aka field, and only one - the same one at all times, naturally. It makes identification o so easy.

OMG this. AKA should simply be what it means, 'what you are also known as'. And should have one to two names you always go by, and maybe your most recent name change if people started calling you by that because you had it for so long. Long lists don't help especially when they are lists of names other people have used (final fantasy names for example).

ANYWAYS



I think I might make a voting thread for which mayor I should be next. Guess I'll need a nominating period first.
