[QUOTE=brewha] I don’t know if this is an actual suggestion, but I always read his new name in my head as “turducken”. Ya know, like the chicken with it’s head up the ass of a duck with it’s head up the ass of a turkey. Figurative heads and asses, of course. [/QUOTE] Dammit! That is exactly what I was going to post! :mad: ---

Whatever your grievances, I find a “hey, let’s all make fun of \_\_\_\_” thread to be pretty grade school playground. ---

[QUOTE=Wee Bairn] I don’t get how allowing a name change that almost everyone is aware of is providing either anonymity or a “new start” 😕 [/QUOTE] I’m curious… how were you aware of it? I had no idea. ---

[QUOTE=Waverly] I’m curious… how were you aware of it? I had no idea. [/QUOTE] Because once the name change happened all of his previous posts change from being by VCO3 to the new name, so there was a current thread of his that I posted in, that the day before was started by VCO3, but then it showed it was started by the new name. ---

[QUOTE=cricetus] Whatever your grievances, I find a “hey, let’s all make fun of \_\_\_\_” thread to be pretty grade school playground. [/QUOTE] That might be too many characters. Even though I know what the name means, I, like brewha and Justin, always read it as “turducken” in my head. Glad to know it’s not just me. ---

[QUOTE=wring] seems to me this is a new thing - IIRC, in the past when a poster changed their name, their old posts still showed their old name. Or am I mistaken? [/QUOTE] The user name changes, but if quoted by another poster the old name stays in that quote box. ---
