The name I use on the SD board is aceospades. I just ran into someone using the name AceOSpades. I thought that SD was not case sensitive. I joined SD before he did, but he’s been a member for almost a year. Is it hard to change your user name? I know I would need a mod to do it, but do they frown down on this. I was thinking of using Ace, but when I looked it up on the search someone was already named ACE. Can you fill me in on the details please? ---

I saw that user too. Screen names ARE case insensitive: it’s a zero, not an “O”. We don’t frown on username changes. Just send an e-mail to one of the administrators, and they’ll help you out. You can find Tuba’s e-mail in this forum. Other administrators are CKDxtrhavn, Lynn Bodoni, and Arnold Winkelried. ---

Your evil twin used a zero instead of the letter O. ---

Coldfire, shouldn’t you be visiting the fleshpots of Amsterdam at this time of night? 😕 ---

I think it’s Ace0Spades (#0), which would bypass the case sensitivitiy filter. ---

After a week of work, I sometimes prefer to quietly wind down on a Friday night. So the real question then is: what the hell am I doing on the Boards? 😉 Hmmm. It’s not _too_ late for a quick pint around the corner… ---

hmm, seems that **some** folks forgot about **Gaudere** getting a promotion to admin. Perhaps she should look into the situations, eh **Coldfire**? or was the memo sent w/your mug? 😃 ---

I said “other administrators”. Not “all administrators”. Smartass. 😉 Why, **Gaudere** couldn’t change a username if it bit her in the… errrr… well, OK, maybe she _could_. ---
