I hate user name changing!
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 06:51 PM by YellowRubberDuckie
I'm sad that I will never again read a post from HypnoToad. Deja Q is fine, and the same person, but dang it, it makes me sad.
Anyone else hate this?
The last time around I nearly changed my name. Mrs. Grumpy told me not to, because I'll always be Duckie. I would never dream of changing my user name now. I just don't get it.

1. Yeah, it wouldn't be quite right without you and Mrs. G.
But if anyone's name has outlived it's usefulness it's mine. And I think I've made a decision.

2. Now *I'm* going to cry...

:(

"HypnoToad", the moniker, just didn't seem "me" anymore. I'd always wanted something Q-like...

Looks like I do have some regrets from changing my pseudonym after all... I really am sorry for upsetting you so... :(

I like Q. Don't worry. It's ok.

3. I'm not a fan
But to each their own.

It does kind of take the person out of the persona though.

I'm Inchworm. Hi, Duckie!

4. Please don't change! There are so many wonderful and interesting
names that we have lost the last couple of days.

:sad:

5. You know, I agree...
Especially for the other changed names, it's going to take time to get used to.

On the plus side, at least none of us has been imprisoned for using forged identities...

6. I changed my avatar ...

Kept the name.

Thought about changing it to another language then realize in that language it looked like a typo, so I nixed the idea.

11. Me too!
I'm glad I picked a name that is timeless and placeless. I've only pissed off a few (and for that I only offer apologies to sniffa and bi-baby, the others royally deserved it), so I'll keep what I have.

12. I'm with you there
Deja Q can fuck off. HypnoToad was cool, but my allegiance is to screen names, not the actual people behind them. So, name changers: fuck all y'all.

17. Wow. That was melodramatic.
I was being sentimental. You are being ridiculous.

23. that's my style
I prefer to think of it as both sentimental and melodramatic at the same time. Is this why I can't get a date?

13. It's going to take awhile to get used to the new names.
Of course, it took me two years to learn the old ones!

21. We only like change when WE instigate it. It is uncomfortable to "not know" and not be in control.
It will be ok in a few weeks, you will see. Me, I hardly know anybody anyway and the avatar switching confuses me even more so...:crazy:
