Hmmmm.... Now that I thought of it, after I re-registered of course, I could have changed my username and slunk around semi-anonymously. If someone checked my email, and remembered who it belonged to I'd be busted, but hey, what are the odds of that? I wouldn't really be "busted" in a bad way. As far as I'm aware there is no rule prohibiting something like that, how could there be?

Anyway, I got to wondering if anyone is doing that? Could one of our old and dear friends be re-inventing themselves under a new handle? What an interesting idea that is. Would we recognize them? Could they hide for long? More importantly, would I treat them differently if I knew who they "really" were?
That'll burn your noodle, won't it?

I too thought of using my other name i use on my other boards Hawk, but then i remembered on the old board someone had that so i don't wanna go stealing their thunder, and i'm getting to like this name that I have now

laconic1

I thought of coming up with a new alias, but I am crazybill, and crazybill I will stay. (I guess I could have dropped the 5280 part though)

hiredgun

Nobody knew me here anyway, so it didn't seem to matter

Fly

I am content to stay with what I have. And I hope all of the regulars can do the same. We have come to know each other by our "given" TFP names and it is a comfort zone and a safe place.

I didn't even think of changing mine. I was more concerned that someone would "get " it before I did.

*EDIT* It sure feels good to be home!

I used to be Yomomma, but I got sick of the name and I was fairly new anyway. I'm not really hiding, except for the fact that acted like a bit of an asshat before.

i don't think phred green is my favourite username ever, i'd have changed it to aristotle quance (super mad happy points if you get that reference), but too many people know me as phred... i'm not gonna change a good thing.

Bizzare, billage, but I thought about doing just that. But then the harsh reality set in; no one would recognize me. Probably don't recognize me now, even though I had over 1000 posts in V3.0.

BoCo

I went from BoCoMoFo to just BoCo since that's what everyone calls me anyway.

Think it fooled anyone?

spectre

Yup. After a while, you get used to the way someone tends to respond and know who it is based on those words. I considered shortening my nick to 'spec' because that's what I go by in chat, but I decided to stick with spectre since that's what most on the boards know me as.

frenik

I was lagarto in the last version. But I didn't change to hide, in fact I've said 3 times in posts and once in my journal that I've changed, and even put it in my sig

I've used frenik for longer than I've used lagarto, I don't really like lagarto and there's some history behind frenik. So if you knew me as lagarto, rewire your brain to know me as Frenik.
