Title: I'm lost. (I usually am)
Post by: Rebel Yell on March 24, 2008, 02:40:11 PM
PICK A NAME: Name Permissions will be removed at 1300 EST 25MAR08

What does that mean?

It used to be that one could change one's screen-name if one wished.

Now one can change his screen-name only with the permission of the Authorities.

It's a good rule, and has good and valid reasons for being a rule.

You have to settle on a screen name by 25th March otherwise you are stuck with the one you have.  If you want to ditch the 'Sam' now's your opportunity

How do you go about doing that?

Never knew it was that easy, or I would have done it earlier.  Thanks.

Are we going to have something in place to be able to identify people? I'm getting old and set in my ways. It's not nice to mess with old folks. I get thrown when I see a new screen name and can't place the writing style. :-)

We do need a thread to make the changes public.  I don't have anything to hide, just tired of the name.  Want to show my southern roots.

C.R.S. - can't remember sh*t
