Should I Change My Username?
« on: May 06, 2010, 04:41:41 PM »
I've had this username for years on various forums. I signed up to DD today (5/6/10) and within a few hours, I got a few comments about the name. By the way, based on minimal research, earwax cannot mold. You may factor this into your vote if you wish ;)

Well, so far it looks like I won't have to feel guilty for keeping my username.... Oh well, I was looking forward to that ;)

It doesn't sound especially appetizing I must say.
But to the point that it should bother me, no.

There is an African american rapper named  'Q-tip'. I assume his ears are really clean. Maybe you could meet up with him and come up with a cleaner username--- namely 'Q-tip!'

This isnt just a schmooze, its quite a serious matter.
At least one person thinks so...

Ewww. If that's what the only other option is, then keep it.

Think about it, your (user)name is like your brand, it probably is a factor in how people perceive you.

Question:
If the moderators decide to move this to "just schmooze", would they retroactively "deduct" the posts to the forum users?
That's a good one.
