If you were the person to choose a new name for one of the Pit’s favorite sons, what would it be? (former name VCO3, new name TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW) I don’t think he was running away from his old name - I think he felt that this new name was more interesting than VCO3 and that someone would pat him on his lil’ head and say, “good job!” or “how witty”. If I could choose his name it would be: “occasionally lucid”. Beat that! (I chose the pit since… well… it’s TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW) ---

Good one, **Lib** – but it would need to be the whole phrase, complete with punctuation. ---

That’s VC03??? Fucking explains a lot. Mods, note one more my time my vehement objection to name changes. Once a tool, always a tool, and the rest of the board shouldn’t have to learn that someone is a tool twice. Quit with the dipshit protection program already!

[QUOTE=Waverly] Mods, note one more my time my vehement objection to name changes. Once a tool, always a tool, and the rest of the board shouldn’t have to learn that someone is a tool twice. Quit with the dipshit protection program already! [/QUOTE] Amen. I’ve always believed that, at the very minimum, someone who changes names should be required to announce the fact in a new thread, and/or in a sig line. There are quite a few name changes that i’ve only become aware of because i noticed that the person had thousands of posts and i’d never seen their name before. A search back through their posting history was the only way to discover their previous identity. Actually, given that it’s the mods and admins who approve and facilitate these name changes, maybe there should be a sticky thread in ATMB where every name change is listed. ---
