    So if you knew then what you know now, would you pick the same boards.ie name?

    If I was starting out again I'd choose "OceanFrog"...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 641 ✭✭✭Dimitri


    I'd change mine to Alexi.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    Um, well, I'd probably pick something really cutesy and girly and fluffy, stick a few asterisks around it to make it stand out and give a sassy vibe, and of course at least one of the words would have to be written in text speak because real spelling is so fuddy duddy, and then I'd post in feedback and I know everyone would love my name so much the admins would let me have it in some wacky colour combo - lime green and pink stripes maybe - and wowee... blah*1000

    Nah, simu is the perfect name. Why would I wish to change it?

    No I would most definetly change it. It truely is the most useless user name in history. God- what was I thinking?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    MrsJoeSoap, in light of the recent operation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    I'd probably change to StormKeeper, as I rarely use Kennett as a username these days... I've stopped using the handle Hotshot ages ago too. I use it or a variation thereof on a max of about 5 sites, everywhere else it's StormKeeper, variations of that or another name connected to me, such as that of one of my RP characters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,145 ✭✭✭DonkeyStyle \o/


    If I was starting out again I'd choose "OceanFrog"...
    Yeah, can't lose those 370 hard earned posts... and that March 05 reg date... you'd never get that back again!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭Jimi-Spandex


    Hmm, I'd probably change mine to something I wouldn't feel ashamed to tell people in real life.

    or Gorgeous George, my real life nickname.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭Matthewthebig


    MoJu. mebbe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme

  • Moderators, Regional North East Moderators Posts: 12,739 Mod ✭✭✭✭cournioni


    PORNAPZ. Because it looks cool.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,252 ✭✭✭deisedevil

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭joejoem


    Yes but I still cant think of anything good


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,648 ✭✭✭dundalk cailin


    i think id choose a more anonymus name, maybe leinster cailin! or irish cailin, or something totally random


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    I'd change mine to Viriconia maybe, my alter ego. She's way cooler than me. Meaner, too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    i'd choose another local watering hole ....scraggs alley is a bit overrated these days -ha no i dont think i'd change its the only handle i've ever picked that i'm happy with!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    It's too late, I've become Hagar.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    is that a dig at some of the younger members?

    I sure hope so.


    I am perfectly satisfied with Sarky. No reason to change.

    We were just talking bout this in the pub the last night, on our Boards Beers, didn't know there was a thread tho... I wld change mine to anything else to avoid the slagging... but all the ones I wanted were taken so...
    id pick something from a song i think prob 'psycho_killer' or something cartoonie, or maybe 'wondersheep'. No good crying over it now though, I'm stuck with my sinewave frequency.
