I'm putting this in general because it applies to a very wide audience and I want everyone to take note. It has occured to me that a lot of you guys like to change names on a whim lately.
here's the problem - its ANNOYING.
when you guys change names without making some sort of formal announcement or without mention of your previous name in your signature or profile - get this - no one knows who you are all of a sudden. Especially if you change your icons! Maybe your close buddies know. but everyone else does not. And its a bit awkward for the mods, seeing new names pop up with high post counts, talking as if they are regulars. Because we really have no clue who you are. We don't know what kind of history you had at cc.com, what kind of warnings were recieved, etc. If we reeeeally needed to track it down, it would be possible but inconvenient. At least I have no idea who the name-changers are, and that's enough for me to scold about it. Don't make my life hard, people!
Not that I'm saying everyone should start making new topics about "Hey I'm so-and-so now!". No. But the least I ask is that you put a note in your signature or profile mentioning your old nick.
Actually as long as we're here, I'd like to ask people who have changed their nicknames to please post what they were previously, so that we can keep track of who's who. And please mention it in your profile and/or sig. Unless you did it for privacy issues, then PM please.
thankyouverymuch.

Alright, angel; that sounds good to me. 
I used to be LadyMarava, and I'll probably change my name once a month. It'd be LadyMarava to French_Toast. Is that okay with you, angel?  |

Me ish Tayuh, but used to be ChiChi234. I only change names when I get tired of my old one, which is not very often, fortunately. 
Eem Angry! Eem hit next poster! |

Sure, Angel. Sounds good.
I used to be Hawksight. I'll probably switch back to my former name after my birthday (just a few days from now). I'll only become Zira every few months or so for a week at a time or something.

thank you, much appreciated.
Although I'd still ask you guys to please mention it in your profiles or sigs. Or I'll have to do it for you (that's a threat, not a favor - roar!).

Rest assured that I will probably never change my name. 
(Except for, I dunno, Halloween or something...) |

KC11
    

|
9/23/2007 | |
I've had this name since I was 11 (hence, KC11....)
Of course, by that theory, my name should be KC13 by now. But I like how the name KC11 looks.
I doubt I will ever change it. Unless of course I really want to celebrate something. (then again, if I wanted to do that, I could just change my sig and start a topic....)

i thought it, you said it.
lol usually i just edit posts that capitalize angel. But I can't be bothered and decided to make believe i didn't see it.
But for the record, "angel51431" has no big A's in there anywhere. little a's only por favor!

Alright, I used to be BonnieShee, but I grew tired of that name, too long, and people started calling me BS for short... I am not BS! I am now Maraha, nice and short, no need for nicknames!

Well, I'm LadyMarava and French_Toast, and I'll change my name every month from LM to FT and LadyHollow, just to let everyone know. I've put in my profile this same info for everyone else to see in case people get a bit confused.  |

Ja, on holidays is a good time to temporarily change one's name. But doing it all the time can get really annoying.

Really, angel, you deserve an audience applause. Btw, I'm going to be Karias.. 5 years now. . Ignore the fact that JRC says I've had over 10 names.

I've been starting to be treated badly at school because of my nickname as "Hawksight" there. I don't think I'll use it here for a while.
I'm going to be Dreamnorn for at least until the insults die down.

Should this topic remain sticky? Or has the name changing problem passed?

uhh i think it should remain sticky in case anyone decides to randomly change their name, still. We need to keep track and stuff. Cause one person does it at random and then everyone else follows them.
that leads to confused moderatorship and we don't want that. so its a pre-emptive strike.

gryph - no clue. It used to be a whale with the letters "kill" - courtesy of Rasc. Then it spontaneously changed into whatever it is now and i never actually did anything to change it. I think its a picture of some mountains or something.
