usually Lou or Sam

[shari91]

Keep in mind though Stealthy you'll lose your reg date so you may want to wait until you pass your anniversary.

[stealthyburrito]

[shari91]

You get 100 points for every year you've been registered here if you're an SBR Pro (I think you need to be a Pro anyway) at the time of your anniversary.

[stealthyburrito]

whoop-de-doo 200 points. i know what you are referring to.

i'm to the statement that your reg date is reset. does that go for posts too? not tryna make a new account altogether, just tryna hacksaw my name a little. sounds like if everything is reset then it may be more trouble then its worth.

[shari91]

Everything is reset which I thought you knew so I was just reminding you of the anniversary points. Notice how Sinner, Foldie, EI, Rudy, etc... they have a new reg date and their post count started at 0? You become a new person on here - old account is closed down completely and you start fresh.

That's what Willie told me when I wanted to change my name. 1.5 - 2 years ago names were changed without losing start date & post count but SBR did away with that. My message from Willie came after they stopped allowing it, I believe he said it was causing problems with the software.

BUT later on Crazy Lou became simply Lou, so I believe it's still possible.

[stealthyburrito]

nvm, we're talkin two different things here. i know i can make a new account with a new handle. i'll address this with lou or sammy. but thanks for trying to help.

[shari91]

No, I know what you mean. You want to tinker with your name ie Shari91 becomes Shari.

But yeah, send an email and see what they say. Best of luck with it!

ya this is more along the lines of what im referring to.

Is your desire to be Stealthy or Burrito? Think I know the answer to that.

[stealthyburrito]

its a surprise. basically would like to undergo the change without having to undergo people questioning who is the new handle and why it was changed so completely. though technically not a ghost a new account would be if the old one is abandoned, still gotta deal with those perennial ghosthunters. complete overhaul not worth the headache.

with same reg date and post numbers, people will know its still me.

[doublej95]

It would be nice if they could just edit the name and not have to lose all the info for the account. I wanted to drop the 95 and just be doubej.

[opie1988]

please let me change my name, i KNOW it can be done. someone help me out here.

k thx

Fukk that!

I wanted to change from Opie to something halfway cool. Its nearly impossible to make Opie cool.

They said it wasn't possible.

Only thing that kinda helped me is the Opie thats a tough biker dude on Sons of Anarchy. He's fairly cool.

[pavyracer]

I was told numerous times you can't change your name. You can retire it and start with a new one but you definitely can't change it.

[shari91]

Not even a Shari to Shane which I seriously considered.

But as I said to Stealthy, best of luck!!

Dont forget the original "Opie" from The Andy Griffith Show. He was cool too

I wanted to change mine since when I found about this site it was to find out information about a book which was not paying me so I just made up a quick name to register. If I knew I would still be here 4 years later I would have chosen a different name but I don't mind what I have now. I think some people who changed names like RudyRuetigger or ExtraInnings had to abandon their previous names.

[THE PROFIT]

Guys, dont fuk with your names. Only douchebags here do that, must I give examples????

This is serious fukin business

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

I think the only way is to become a mod.

CrazyL became CrazyLou became Lou

USCkingsfan became vegas dave. Although I think that maybe Dave got that changed before he was hired by SBR, and he didn't lose his date or post count.

[Wulfman14]

why would you want to change the name you have been using for years ? only reason i can think of is if people on here hate you and you want to change your online identity.

e.g brock landers, ttwarrior , carseller, whatsgood just to name a few.

i dont hate any of the above just that when i think of guys with the most haters these came in mind

Yeah, when I signed up here I'd been lurking for almost a year and decided to register because I literally just wanted to say thanks and be kooky in Lakerboy's NBA thread. When a few wingnuts started sending me crazy crap, I debated changing my name to something neutral and talked to Sam about it. But by doing that, that erases all of my history here - great or humiliating - so I said no.

I've realised that it's probably not the best idea for people to know my real name considering the silly spelling of it but it is what it is. I can change my name (as you've seen) and people will still refer to me as Shari. No point anymore. But a lesson learned for next time.

True

[sam9ball]

The other important thing is that you will also lose your Po status as it is not transferable.

[stealthyburrito]

so only employees can undergo a name change? unreal i'm just a peon.

****, forget i ever brought it up.

[stealthyburrito]

and i don't understand this

pro status is non-transferable? like i have to redeposit into a new book if a new handle is created? but i'm still the same person with the same accounts.

[jjgold]

Stealthy anyone would do it, we need to prevent it and or have consequences


What are you up to here??

exactly, its like going into witness protection. You get a new identity but you cant talk to your old friends or your family.

Theres always consequences for changing your identity because no one does it unless they are up to no good or in deep shit

[zam77]

You should change your name to overtenchilada or clumsyquesadilla or privytaco

[stealthyburrito]

up to nothing here. people create ghosts all the time, which is what i'm trying to avoid.

PROFIT, i'm only looking to cut my name is all. it would be more sketch if i created a new account, with a new identity, dotcha think? if you couldn't recognize me with a shorter name, same post count, same reg date well then you can't be helped. tryna be as transparent as possible.

[jjgold]

Mods cannot be changing names all the time
Has to be a fukkin penalty
