FYI about name changes

[flex]

No matter your new name it still shows the date you first joined. Like Omligo's shows as May 10th, which is the day of the Pamper Day Massacre.

[MWOS]

I only see the month and the year.
You joined May 2012

[loveday]

Me too, I only see month and year.

I love that it has an official name.

"Alex, I'll take Pamper Day Massacre" for $1000."

So people have a week left to execute their shenanigans. LOL.

I see you as May 10, 2012. Was it really just May 10th that we switched over? It feels like forever ago.

That doesn't really help since bajillions of people joined on the same day.

[anotherfosh]

But when i changed to Anotherfosh after she deactivated, it had today's date as my join date, but it listed her prior posts under my account. I since deleted fake Anotherfosh, and changed my name back and he posts are no longer listed under my profile

So are we safe and I'm not going to have to keep my word to not waste time with boards if this implodes too?

So even though it was your original account the join date changed to today? Or did you make a new account? This is very odd.

[loveday]

Will the real anotherfosh please stand up?

[RobotLegs]

I go to the grocery store and look what happens.

I live for today.

This makes no sense to me. It may only work if the user has already deactivated. Because I was curious about this very thing when we first got here, and I did a 'test' post under another user's name - I think it was Elle, actually - and it still had my sig and avatar, and changed all my old posts to the new name. I didn't see anything of hers.

HEY WAIT A MINUTE--I'M FLEX! NOT YOU!! WTF?

This is RexManningDay. I changed my name to flex as a test, because it's easy. Does someone want to look and see whose posts I have?

You show as joining on 5/11/12 and you have 185 posts.

[iamgrace]

It's still your avatar and sig - so, no big deal, IMO.

You definitely have rexmanning's posts....AND when you quote the person it shows the name they login with

So when I quote you...the text shows author is rexmanningday

:Y:

Plus I'm a mod so I have my star necklace to show who I am.

[Deleted]

I bet the fake anotherfosh had all of the real anotherfosh's posts because her log-in was "anotherfosh", not just the show name.

[flex]

I hope there's no pods in my closet. lol

[MWOS]

I'm not too pleased with this. With all the shit that ProBoards can do, they really can't make it so that once a username is taken, it's gone?

[Deleted]

WE ARE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RobotLegs]

I'm never leaving this page again.

Jennie, she was AnotherFosh over here. People joked that she found the O when she came over from the nest

I've asked the question about if it was possible to "freeze" names with the Moderator Board.
