Link to original post: [drupal=1794]My Username[/drupal]



Before I start off I'm not following a trend or anything. I am actually being bothered by my username.

So recently I'm being bothered by my Username. It kinda sounds awkward that your user name is Darkslash, which sounded good 1 year ago. But now, it really doesn't seem to have that same ring as before.

Also due to the fact "DarkSlash" is really a generic name on the internet. At least 100 people have it as a user name.

I really don't want to be called with a generic user name. So I decided to go back to my roots. When I started my internet travels. Most of my user names were branches of some of my interest that held me for a short time, until it hit me when I remembered one day in my Christian Education class. I mentioned that I always go after the crusader type classes, and I remembered the user name I've been using my entire internet life.

CrusaderVX

A quick google search turns out I was the only one on the Internet to have such a name. I then remembered that what caused me to drop that name was a little nerd induced rage. I said something stupid, and I dropped the name, until recently.

People on the Make your Move chat should of noticed I changed my name to "VX" I also started using my youtube account under that name to hopefully Upload my conduit Videos.

But a real challenge is me dropping the name "Darkslash" and reusing my old name of "CrusaderVX"

And if any one is wondering why I never used "CrusaderVX" in the first place, it was most likely me not wanting some nonsense Roman numerals at the end of my name, or some people would bombard me with Religion related questions and I would leave the site.


EDIT: If I can't be called CrusaderVX, at least call me Slash.

Guy's I'm actually being serious. I don't want to be under the name of "Darkslash" any more. A year ago it was okay, now its just some generic user name I don't want to be associated with. I know a chance of my user name is slim as Micro bacteria, but I just wanted to let out some steam.

Why does a tag of pseudo anonymity bother you that much? Are you that worried that people will judge you based off of something as simple as a user name? Get people to understand the person behind the name and get over the fact that it "sounds generic".

Change it to red slash and the main Roy. Problem solved.
Very valuable man. Thanks for contributing to the thread with Valuable Information! [/sarcasm]

With the current recession many people can't afford to keep their usernames, or their usernames have gone down in value. An original username of one person could now be used by 1000 other people online. It's worse than swine flu.
I'm known around here (I hope), and I obviously don't want to be called "darkslash" any more. It just doesn't feel right any more when I'm acknowledge by the name "darkslash"

You're not gonna get your name changed unless your a mod.

Or if you're cool like me.

Just FYI.

SO if you want a name change you're gonna have to make another account and start over.

Darkslash: Change your name to Zooktwo.

Then I can have a Mew avatar, and you can have Mewtwo. Or something. It'll be hilarious. People will be befuddle by our wit.

I don't know what I was thinking when I made my username but it pretty much grew on me over time.

As for your new name, I think it's pretty cool. I don't have any idea's for a new name though :|

If I could change my name (again) I would make it my FULL name.

Silent Ocelots Lick Intriguing Donuts.

Or

Sly Oranges Leave Insects Dead.

The list goes on and on.

I think it's awesome that you were the first to get such a popular name on Smashboards. (since you have no numbers after it)

Not really sure. Maybe the fact that I found out that the name was super popular and many people who used it are different from me, could be the reason.

Your name is now 'DarkFart'.

You're quite welcome.

Yeah, even Maxfire knows that.

Unless, this is some kind of hint that it'll be available really soon? =O

Well, with keeping Queen Killjoy, she can sort out noobs not knowing anything? :D

I support this notion. If Darkslash doesn't want that, I would want it. :3
