Should I change?

    <----LOOK! Shiney Stars!

    I'm posh now. I've subscribed.

    So my question is:

    Should I change my name? Its pretty lame, it was meant to be SoSueMe (Financial problems at the time!) and my name obviously is Sue. I'm asking you Sligo folks as nobody else on Boards would have a clue who I am. (So kinda on topic.)

    Anyone got any suggestions?

    Also a new avatar? Hmmm.... These are of course big decisions, up there with plungers and supermacs, so any help would be appreciated.

    EDIT: If you want me I'll be over in Sex and Sexuality...

    There's a special offer next week - a free plunger with every subscription, but you probably can't wait that long!

    I wouldn't change the name Sue - if you do, how will I know who's taking the p*ss out of me? :)

    Thats a valid point Starburst. With so many people taking the p*ss out of you it could get confusing...

    I think there already is a user 'SoSueMe' that frequents the TV forums..


    .. Yep, thought so!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,556 ✭✭✭✭muffler


    I wouldnt change the name.
    I could suggest a new avatar (I have one in mind) but you would only accuse me of being a perv ;)
    I wouldnt spend too much time in the S & S forum as you will recognise my other account.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,392 ✭✭✭TequilaMockingBird


    Ahhh, maybe thats why I went for sueme. Too lazy to think of anything other than my original train thought. Sounds about right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    So SueMe finally sold out.... I remember when you used to be cool!

    "Accuse" you of being a perv? That train left the station some time ago my friend... :D

    ""Chesty La Rue". If she does not like it, she can change it to "Busty St. Claire" or "Hootie McBoob"" :)

    You've put a little too much thought into that Mr Crow. Is it a hobby?

    Name changes are confusing. Don't do it.

    You're obviously not a fan of The Simpsons!

    I'm afraid most of my sentences are either lines from The Simpson's or Anchorman!


    "There's three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way." "Isn't that the wrong way?" "Yeah, but faster!" ...

    I see now. Thanks! I thought Mr Crow had issues with my boobs.

    Apologies Mr Crow.

    You could change your name and add a formally known as sueme sig underneath if you were worried about people not knowing who was taking the piss out of them...:)

    There are some very interesting threads in there (I think)! :D

    I wouldn't change your name Sue.

    Hail.. You are not cool. Just so you know! :p

    I wish I cold change my name but I don't want to subscribe.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    At least change the tagline.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,200 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    I suscribed last year and changed my name to squill - people didn't like it so I changed back to basquille (and had the tagline.. 'Back by (un)popular demand').

    But my subscriber priveleges have been removed since! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,392 ✭✭✭TequilaMockingBird


    Well I might ask for at least a capital "S". I hate bad grammars I does.

    Tagline? Oh God, its a minefield, I can't be witty if I think about it.

    I tried to download an Avatar and got a virus instead.

    For the subscription fee, they should send someone round to sort out your computer, for thickos like me...


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    The tagline is the subscriber bit under your username. You can change it here (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editprofile), it's the custom user title bit. Pm me the link to the image you want as an avatar if you want and I'll try and get it for you.

    Thanks AC, I know where the tagline is, I just don't know what to put in it! The avatar was just some random thing I found but the site buggered my PC, so I won't send it on to you. Sending a virus to a mod might not be a good move...:)

    Why?! What did you do?! Go on spill, Squill!


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    It's been a long time since I got a virus and I browse the dodgiest of sites (eh no, not that type) so I'm not too worried.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,474 ✭✭✭YeatsCounty


    What about "Suomi", the Finnish name for Finland? I've just checked and it's not taken.


    I'll check the post next week for my "thank you" card.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 991 ✭✭✭Big_Mac


    Whats the benefits of subscribing?


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    It's all listed here (http://www.boards.ie/subscribers.php).

    Hi Guys, just to let you know that i've followed in sueme's footsteps and become a subscriber.... I really wanted those stars under my name.

    However, I had to go one better than sueme did, so I've changed my name from mcgowan'b to Big_Mac...... Just so you know..... and its not related to the golden arches either:)
