There will be a relatively short username-change amnesty period starting after inauguration day.

[Skinner]

Now that another presidential election is over, and a new administration is beginning, we've decided that the time has come for our second amnesty period when members can change their usernames.

The primary purpose of this username-change amnesty is so people with out-dated names can change to something more appropriate. Perhaps you signed up for DU a while back with a username like "Edwards4Prez2008" or "DefeatMcSame" or "WaitingForDubyaToLeave" or "BlagojevichFan" or some other username that was perfectly relevant at the time, but now has become an anachronism. If so, username-change amnesty is for you.

If you don't have a good reason to change your username, we would advise that you not change your name. In particular, if you are thinking of changing your username on a whim just because we are giving you the opportunity to do so, don't do it. Back in 2004, the last time we did a username-change amnesty, there were a bunch of people who contacted me after-the-fact because they didn't like their new username after all and they wanted to switch back to the one they used before. I can't remember whether we granted their requests or not.

So, our preference is that you only change your username if you have a good reason. But we're not going to limit who can take advantage of this username-change amnesty. Anyone who wants to change their username will have the ability to do so. THINK LONG AND HARD BEFORE YOU CHANGE YOUR USERNAME. This may be your *only* opportunity to change it until 2012 (or 2016 if Obama is reelected). The username-change amnesty period will probably begin on January 21, 2009 (the day after inauguration), and will last for at least one week. So you have a few days to give this some serious thought before amnesty begins.

Individuals who choose to change their usernames will have an automated signature line appended to all of their posts, which tells the world your former DU identity. This will make it easier for everyone to know who all these new people with the strange usernames are.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in this thread.

Please kick and recommend this thread so more DUers can see it.

6. What about those who were TS'ed?

Can they rejoin under a new name?

[Renew Deal]

9. I want Perry_Logan_Lover

93. No, not any more or less than anyone who's been banned.

No resurrecting TS'd profiles.

[hughee99]

151. TombStoned or Ted Stevens'd?

[LeftishBrit]

203. Well, Ted Stevens WAS Tombstoned, wasn't he?

I only wish Sarah Palin would be!

[JVS]

177. Or can we steal their names?

[KoKo]

7. If you change your name does your postcount and year joined stay the same?

I want to take the "01" off the end of my user name and make the second "K" lower case, so that it's just "Koko." Not a big change...just a tweak... Is that possible?

[NMDemDist2]

31. yeah, that's the whole point of an amensty

:hi:

[Skinner]

138. Your post count and year joined remain unchanged. (nt)

[mopinko]

8. what about

keeping those old names in the profile directory? or some little section of the directory? i know that i will forget most of the people's former names as soon as that sigline drops.
or maybe i am just looking for a way to keep my grudges nursed. i dunno

[orleans]

184. lol! you'll be trying to remember "grudges" and i'll be trying to remember ANYTHING!

it's tough enuf now--people start changing their names around and i'm gonna be totally lost. oh well.

[elocs]

10. So some may run, but that can't hide.

Individuals who choose to change their usernames will have an automated signature line appended to all of their posts, which tells the world your former DU identity. This will make it easier for everyone to know who all these new people with the strange usernames are.

[RB TexLa]

14. That will be good for the people who have threatened some with violence and arson off line

178. Wow!

That is some fucked up shit!

213. KansDem, you shoulda post a warning "empty mouth of all fluids

Notice how proud she is of her sign. Major laughs here, thanks for the reminder.

17. Kick for amnesty!

[HamdenRice]

18. I hope not to many DUers rush to choose the new name "IMPEACH OBAMA NOW" nt

[Skittles]

19. lol.....BlagojevichFan

:rofl:

[DevonRex]

20. The automated sig line lasts for how long? I have a troll family

member. Because of that I need to change my username in order to allow me to discuss certain issues WITHOUT creating civil war in my family. Had I known I had a troll in my family I would never have used a username that would clearly identify me when coupled with just a bit of geographical information.

If the automated sig line stays there forever, then the change won't be as successful as I would like it to be in keeping me anonymous to my family troll.

[PatSeg]

76. That must be so uncomfortable

I think someone said something about it being a couple of weeks. Maybe you could just lie low and lurk for a while.

[krkaufman]

107. Ditto this question.

But just out of curiosity, in my case; not so much because of a concern over a stalker.

[Skinner]

137. The automated sig line lasts for one month. (nt)

[JVS]

179. Wouldn't the best course of action there be to start a new account?

[cliffordu]

21. K&R.... I'm accepting suggestions for what YOU think my name should be...

49. Cliff, or DU?

[Soylent Brice]

53. clever.

but sounds confrontational, like he would be giving us an ultimatum.

[cliffordu]

66. I would never do that and if you don't believe it I'll take you back off ignore!!!!....

Wait a minute......

[Soylent Brice]

75. i'm on someone's ignore list? awesome.

i don't have anybody on mine. that would deprive me of a lot of entertainment.

eh.

[cliffordu]

80. No. I was just kidding. I don't have an ignore list either.

Don't want to blunt the hysteria, inhibit the sturm and drang.....

But I know what you can say that will get you put on several ignore lists...

:rofl:

[Soylent Brice]

88. i can think of a million things i could say,

but not one reason to actually say any of them.

65. Is that like "Cake, Or Death???"

I love Eddie Izzard

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

64. Here's the thing....

my name is Clifford, as you might surmise.....


My middle name begins with the letter 'U'....

hence cliffordu....

I have been using it for years everywhere, and it just happened to fit, kinda, the DU theme here.....


(I'm SOOOO glad I finally got that off my chest.....)

Thank-You, Skinner!!!! Oh and K&R

[Beausoleil]

24. Strange usernames?

I want a new one but it probably won't be "Smegma", "Spasmodic", "Frog" or "Isles Of Langerhans". I haven't actually checked to see if those are already in use.

I have given it a lot of thought and I think I've got a good one picked out. Thanks for the opportunity, Skinner! As I stated in another post, I no longer wish to be identified by a bushism.

[krkaufman]

117. I had a nightmare the other night, situated in my local grocery store.

I just needed to pick-up some kidney beans but all I could find were aisles and aisles of langerhans.

[Ms. Toad]

198. So - ya think my user name is strange???

I'm insulted.

(FWIW Many variations of Frog and Toad were already taken when I joined. I hate titles (Ms.) - but it was the the only I tried that was available...)

141. We will provide instructions when the amnesty begins.

Basically, you just fill out an online form.

[snowbear]

167. Awesome!

[Bluenorthwest]

36. I picked mine without thought and in a hurry

thinking I'd never see it again. I had no idea I'd wind up taking off my coat and staying awhile. So the name lacks zest, and all of the clever implications of so many well thought out usernames! I am constantly envious of some of those snappy names....but changing it seems drastic. And potentially confusing. One more thing to ponder...ah jeez....just changed internet services and need a new email addy as well...

[Pacifist Patriot]

68. I feel the same.

I wish now that I had something clever (not to mention I get confused with someone else whose screen name is similar), but I've already had to change mine once. To change again seems silly and self-indulgent.

[Occam Bandage]

71. I think you have a good name. nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

92. Perhaps, but it's definitely not as clever as yours.

Whenever I see yours I wonder how many people get the reference and find it as side-splittingly funny as I do. I still chuckle every time I see it.

[Flying Dream Blues]

115. Me, too. Just a whim and now I hate it. nt

[guitar man]

37. cool!

I just want to un-capitalize mine. When I signed up, I accidentally hit the caps lock and didn't realize it until too late. :crazy:

[immoderate]

52. Yeah, I want to do the same thing.

Except mine wasn't a mistake, it was a conceit. But too many people think it means I'm moderate. Maybe sometimes I am, but I do it in moderation.

125. New user "BlagojevichFan," post count 1, saying "Thank goodness n/t."

I created it to make that joke. I understand tombstoning it (as I assume they did), since it violates the rules to have a sock, but I think deleting the post was a bit much.

[tekisui]

40. I am leaning towards 'Name removed'.

And will regularly post 'Deleted message'.


knr. I am not changing, but it will be fun to see who does and to what.

[Pacifist Patriot]

58. Are you considering a name change, Skinner? n/t

[Skinner]

143. I've considered it.

I would prefer to just use my real name: David Allen. It's my job after all. But when I asked the mods for their opinion, they all voted me down and told me to stay with the username that everyone knows.

I am not going to change my username. I have thought of it but have grown into it and want to make sure those who look to avoid my posts won't have trouble doing so.

[Skarbrowe]

110. Hmmm

I could easily change mine because I don't think too many people are familiar with Skarbrowe even though I've been here for a long time. I picked this name years and years ago after being on other boards and trying all kinds of stupid names. I wanted to just settle on one. It's an old English spelling of my real last name. BUT, that was before that creepy morning guy on MSNBC who used to have his own country and these extreme Christian preachers with said name started popping up. When I first signed up online I signed in as Roborough. Combination of my first and last name, stupidly not realizing that people would see it as Robo-rough. I got some strange IM's. Whoa. Being Robo was cool for awhile, but I'm so not a Robo, I eventually changed to Skarbrowe. Lot of blather just to say I might as well stick with Skarbrowe even though I'm sick to death of it. Thanks for a chance to change it though. I gave it some serious thought.

Lot of laughs in this thread. Youz guys is funny!

I'm like - well if there wasn't so much SHIT going on that's wrong MF wouldn't be posting so much!

I like it when people attack me for my user name, it nearly always is a way for me to realize I've won, not necessarily that they're viewpoint is wrong, and I'm right, but just that they're unable to articulate themselves in civil discourse over the subject without being petty.

Please, stay mad. ;)

[akbacchus_BC]

215. I love your current user name. Your posts are always intelligent

and well thought out. Hope you don't change. However, it is what you want ultimately!

Always love your posts.

[TrogL]

124. I've had a few complaints about my username

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/troglodyte

(summarized)

1. Lives in caves.
2. a person characterized by reclusive habits ... or reactionary attitudes

My "computer room" (where I recluse) closely resembles a cave. I'm known for an iconoclastic attitude towards certain subjects (don't get me started).

Somehow, the term morphed into "disruptor" which I'm not - well not normally anyway.

Is it worth changing?

[Sheepshank]

153. It took me way too long

to decide on my name...there simply isn't enough time to do a re-do. God, not with all the thinking and deciding, and research, and testing and second guessing myself and all. Besides, I'm new enough, no one knows me anyway.

[willing dwarf]

196. No, but sheepshank is good

It's better than Chopshop, muttonstew or squareknot. But a question. How did you hit upon sheepshank? I thought of it as a reference to a sheep's leg,but then I remembered the knots I learned as girl scout. Was it a scouting reference??

My name is hopelessly offhand and ridiculous. I'd forgotten my login for my preferred moniker which I use everywhere, "Speechless" and couldn't sign in. So, in an vague way I grabbed two words close at hand and put them together. I think I had just read a Will Pitt posting and was feeling dwarfed by his intellect so I named myself Willing Dwarf. But it's terrible. Sounds like I'm a very servile person of diminutive stature.

But names are generally mishaps I've found. So congratulations on yours and best wishes with all your DU-ing.

[Arugula Latte]

205. I first read it as "Sheepskank"

That has another implication entirely, and it's not good. Not good at all.

I may have had a roadrunner e-mail address at the time, but I forgot my old password and could not access my old account.

[AnnieBW]

158. Is "Blago's Hair Dryer" taken?

Or how about "GirlCrushOnRachel"?

[orleans]

189. those are good--espeically the girl crush. funny. n/t

[akbacchus_BC]

216. Funny you say that! How about GirlCrushonSkinner? That would

be lots of fun, LOL! Skinner will change his name, heheh!

[Starry Messenger]

159. I was really tempted to change my screen-name to

"Trailblazer" in honor of the Burris monument:



which fascinates me. But I'll stick to my MPK. Here's a kick, tho.

[Infinite Hope]

160. I picked a name a few years ago that is ever-relevant! n/t

[Neshanic]

163. So now I have to get a converter box for DU? Does the government have coupons for that?

[Horse with no Name]

164. You have to make application for it in the I/P thunderdome

Be careful and update your will before you venture in.:hi:

165. If you're stumped, use the Sarah Palin name generator

http://tinyurl.com/5kscfh

I would be "Drill Swollen Palin."

[JVS]

181. jvs gets "Log Justice Palin" as a result.

I kind of like it!

[orleans]

190. OMG!

"orleans, if you were born to Sarah Palin, your name would be:
Gravel Blood Palin

Who knows, Gravel Blood Palin you just might be president one day!"

:rofl: :patriot: :rofl:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

168. OMG! Another f'n post begging for K & Rs...

[Lerkfish]

174. I've always wanted to be "ImmenseHeavingLoveGod"

but truth in advertising always stops that dream.

I"m kidding....I''m a kidder

[firedupdem]

175. Kick....

[JVS]

176. Skinner, instead of just a sig line do you think a registry could be posted as a thread at the...

end of the amnesty to help keep people's identities straight?

[yowzayowzayowza]

182. EminentWormBait

Hmmm... Mite be an upgrade. :shrug:

[Divine Discontent]

195. that is so gross. eom

[orleans]

191. thanks for the offer. i've kicked this thread a lot.

as for my name--i feel the same way about it as i do about my tattoo--no regrets.

[Divine Discontent]

194. well, it all depends on the tatoo... and it's location. LOL

apparently, yours is good on both issues. Lemme guess, a tiger on your arm? We should have a guess Orleans tat contest.

I agree, it's a great offer to take time to change hundreds of names for people, cool deal. I think I'll keep mine, but we'll see.

[amyrose2712]

193. ...

[Le Taz Hot]

197. I have a question.

If I change my screen name, will all those people who have me on their ignore list have to go back and manually change names or will it be one of those auto search-and-replace situations? :evilgrin:

[tavalon]

199. This is why I went for my standard instead of being cute

Life is easier this way and there are few things in life that can be said to be easier.

[Flubadubya]

200. I'm keepin' mine...

Dubya may be gone but the Flub lives on... :rofl:

[ms liberty]

201. Thanks Skinner, and I have a question...

I am pretty sure I signed up in 2001. 2001 was 3 computers, another 3 ISP's and going from 19K to DSL, and maybe 5 or 6 email addresses ago. The short version is that I was only on the net sporadically until about 2003 when we finally were able to get on at more than 19K on a regular basis - I live in a really rural area. When I started posting I signed up again after not being able to get on with what I thought was my username and password. I check on this username on about a semi annual basis, and its never been used.

Is there a way to find out if this really was a name I signed up as? If so, can I switch to it, and of course keep my post count?

[hughee99]

204. I'm thinking "DEMHerbertCamacho".

Short for "Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho". I see from this thread "Name removed" has already been taken.



:kick:

[Not Sure]

211. If you take that one, I'm so taking Frito Pendejo. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

[UrbScotty]
