New Lurkers: a proposition

[sonrisa]

It's a new board! You can have a fresh start.

1) If your username sucks, make your display name something memorable or clever. It doesn't have to be whatever claptrap the nest stuck you with. You can change it to something different from your username in "modify profile".

2) Give yourself a distinctive avatar or sig.

Give us a chance to get to know *you* - as an internetz person, not just a security code jumble :-)

-------------------------------------

Original message: It's a new board with almost unlimited name options. WTF are lurker people choosing little letter number combos? Do you hate the rest of us? Can't you think of a single clever or memorable name?

sincerely,
sonrisa grumpy pants

[ProfessorArtNerd]

i was going to use my username from everything else, but I didn't know if anyone would know who professorartnerd is

[littleboyblue]

With all the greatness that has gone on in the last two days, Dumbledore makes me laugh to tears. Go figure.

I think we could have figured that out.

[margotmacomber]

The lack of wittiness is probably what kept them as lurkers in the first place.

Well, to be fair my nest name was really long. I shortened it because I was too lazy to type it out here.

Yeah. ;D

[pirate]

That is a major reason I decided to delurk. I want to be pirate not __piirate@@251....

[noeliav]

I just kept my old nest/bump name. I figured if y'all ever go back, then my name would still be the same.

[lazyphoque]

I didn't have numbers before, but I prefer this to my old name. The old name was not necessarily an accurate reflection of my present self, lol.

FUCK YEAH, MOTHER FUCKERS!

Ahhhhh.

[nique]

Almost the same name and the same avatar.

[riesling]

I drink wine...lots and lots of wine.

[Sloane]

Alright, then here's my non-numeric name and my super cute signature picture. I expect to be remembered in great detail.

It is a good mix of extreme laziness and lack of wit on a normal day. Much easier to just read along, kinda like following the bouncing ball.

[VeryViolet]

I definitely didn't delurk due to a lack of wittiness oh and because I was too lazy to think of an awesome name. I added a signature thoughts?

[orangello]

Should I have not used my real name?

I'll have to ask my sister what she thinks.

[down35]

I'm keeping my name because losing 35 lbs is my goal... I'm down 25 so far..

And I made the purse in my siggy.. just finished it last night! It's my second sewing project and I'm pretty darn happy with it. ;D

[Deleted]

Ah that's better.

[fuckyourcouch]

my dog is probably an Ewok. distinctive enough?

Challenge Accepted!

That *will* be you in my mind now :-)

That's good I am much uglier and older IRL

[StJess80]

I used to have a "Mommy" screen name, but I finally changed it on the nest, and stuck with it here, even though it does have numbers in it.

You can remember me as the crazy ass cat lady. I even took the kid out in favor of the cats.

I've had good ol' Mr. Rogers from the start. How can you forget him?
