Aww, I'm sorry. ): I didn't mean to cause problem, I was just bored. I'll stay put at this one, even though I don't like it much. Sorry again, sagewoman. ):

I'm just going to go back to my original username, even though I don't like it to avoid confusion...

Yeah, I'm finding it confusing. It reminds me of back when we'd make up names in the cbox, but at least back then it was the point that no one knew who you were... Aunt Jemima!

In case I keep the list updated and send it to her(hopefully everyone who change their name will update here) should there be a problem? Still annoying for her, but better?

Better, but I'd keep it to a minimum. We allow people to change their display names because we understand that people occasionally want to do so. As long as it's not being abused, we're fine with it.

Huh, I guess the 'who's most likely to be a doll' award sparked a flurry of members changing their names. . . how annoying, I think people should pick a username and stick with it, makes it less confusing for all involved. agreed. ;D

Confusing or no, the Eric/Lurchibald stuff gave me several laughs. And my new name is awesome. It says so anyway

You're just jelaous.
Btw, how cool is it that your post count and karma almost mach?
I want to subtract karma to make it even, but that won't last for long anyway, the way you're posting.

Well I guess I did my fair share of pissing people off this week.

Oops I guess that's my fault for suggesting the category. It wouldn't be that annoying if it wasn't 5+ usernames in the span of only two weeks. I think Midnight Shadowhunter has the right idea changing every first of the month each year. If you do it always at the 1st of the month it makes it easier for sage.

The only reason I changed my name was because I've had the same one on this forum for 3 years, and I wanted a change. I was actually going to do it before the forum awards, but I thought that it would cause too much confusion at that time. So I waited until this week to do so, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal. But after thinking about it I decided to just stick with my old one to avoid confusion since everyone knows this username well, and it would be hard adjusting to something else. Kinda sucks that I'm stuck with it, but I'll get over it.

When you changed your name you were actually the one person I did recognize. I thought it was because you had that as a username before then realized it's your custom titlte.

I'll probably change back to Count Lurchibald and stick to that, I just thought it was fun to be the "Rival" to Eric's Names

I think I need to clear some things up as some of these comments are kind of bothering me.
First and foremost, I was pretty much the only one who changed my name everyday for a week, so when you're talking about how it pissed you off or how annoyed you were, you don't need to use words like "people" or "members". I have many names, so go ahead and use one of them. We all know it was me anyway.
Second of all, I kind of take offense to you implying this whole ordeal was an attempt at nabbing the "Most Likely to be a Doll" award next year, EvilWillowRocker. I don't want to put words into other people's mouths, but I think to the people I was talking to and joking around with at the time, it was pretty obvious that I was doing this for my own enjoyment and perhaps even get a laugh out of one or two people. So, to everyone, if you weren't following what I was doing close enough to know why I was doing it, were you really following it well enough to that annoyed?
Lastly, sagewoman, I don't think we've ever really gotten the chance to talk and I haven't seen you mention or talk this whole fiasco, but out of everyone, I guess you're the one who really has the right to be peeved with me, as I'm told my frequent name changes make your job harder. I'm not exactly sure how name changes affect tallying post counts, but I'm sincerely sorry for any trouble I've caused. If there is anyway for me to remedy this or make up for it, be sure to PM me and I'd gladly do whatever I can.
Aaaaaand, I'm done.

You made me laugh sweetie. I loved it. And I'm PM Sagewoman the current changes right now, so I don't think there will be a problem. As long as we're having fun with it, a little confusion shouldn't matter, specially if we have our former username in the quote beneath our avatars or something. Of course since I'm keeping track of who's who fairly easy, I guess that's easy for me to say.
But Jess, I don't think it would be that confusing if you changed name once.

I'm back to Skytteflickan88. And no, I'm not giving in to society's wishes, I'm still a rebel. But when I win the next art contest, I want everyone to think "Sky is awesome as usual", not "That unknown member seems to be cool". Yes, I am that full of myself. Honestly.

LMAO Well, luckily I havn't won anything yet and therefore it does not effect me, although I have been thinking of changing it back from the moment I changed it, it feels weird not being 'Midnight Butterfly'
