User name change notice...

Just wanted to advise the crowd that I’ve changed my username. (Thanks, TubaDiva.)

My original was my real name, which was a 1999 mistake; my name of the last several months was a generic placeholder. After deep consideration of about three minutes, I’ve chosen a highly representative and meaningful name to represent me here f’revermore.

Points to anyone who can spot the derivation without Google-fu. No cheating, now.

I thought we were only allowed one username-change?

This is my only true name change. The former was from merging my original 1999 account and my newer one - the older name was dropped and there was no other change.

I don’t believe there’s a fixed limit to how many name changes you have per se, just that they don’t want people changing names willy-nilly which would be confusing. So unless you have a good reason, then they prefer you stick with what you’ve got.

Is willy-nilly not available, then?
mmm

Sure, if you really want it…

One of my City of Heroes alts was a huge yellow tanker named Mean Mr Mustard, BTW.

Is this part of your super-secret anti-snark defense plan?

Like I’d tell you.

For the last time, don’t use my real name on the boards. Do you know how much trouble I’ve already had with a rhyming hyphenated name? Not to mention that last night my underage nepalese au pair masseuse intern screamed out “Ooh, chilly-willy!”

Well, sorta. The name “willynilly” (no hyphen) is registered, but has no posts. So “willy-nilly” is technically available, but the mods and admins have generally frowned upon people finding names too similar to someone else. In this case, though, it probably would slide thru.

Would you* allow willie-nillie?

No

Also, none of you better be thinking about taking drewtwo100. I’m saving that for when I level up!

I hate to tell you guys this but there are a shitload of other Billfishes out there.

677 to be exact.

You forgot “Poster Zero”

I call dibs on drewthree99.
