Check in here if you're changing your username over at the Discussionist?

[NightWatcher]

I am, now I've got to get a new avatar and witty sig line

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I'm going to join, and change my username...

Of course, with my "my dears" and all the F-bombs, everyone will figure out who I really am!



Maybe I won't change it, after all...

But I am going to join! It looks like fun!

[GentryDixon]

4. Oh Peggy, you are a treasure!

[sharp_stick]

22. Go full on bizzaro peggy

start calling every one shithead.

[Liberal Veteran]

28. You should go with "PaliforniaCeggy"

No one would ever guess that it was you.

[question everything]

31. Or just "move" to the other coast

and be NewYorkMitch..

[blueamy66]

2. I changed my name and avatar.

This should be fun!

[CherokeeDem]

3. I'm going to play over there, too...

Well change my username... Looks like fun and we can come back here and talk about everyone!!

Just kidding....

[Brother Buzz]

5. I tried Name Removed - no soap

[femmocrat]

6. I will after I think of something.

It took me ages to come up with "femmocrat"!

On edit... When I read here that some DU user names were being copied over there, I decided to register right away, I played around with some variations, but came up with the very creative "femmocrat2"!!

I'll never remember who is who(m?) now. I did recognize some that were close, though. Thanks to those folks!

[kentauros]

50. Use the Etymology dictionary to help

It's always nice to show off intelligence in a subtle way

http://www.etymonline.com/

Although I am quickly discovering that some have major a pun-deficiency

[femmocrat]

52. Thanks for the link. Cool site.

I found "Bloomer" under "feminist" --- LOL. That might have been a cool name.

There were some darn good puns in your thread! I wish I was better at them! Some people are so clever.

[kentauros]

57. I had some help on the textile terms:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_manufacturing_terminology

Glad you liked the etymology site. I use it often, or just to look up a word out of curiosity.

[kentauros]

7. My username is different.

Yet, overall, there are enough similarities that regulars can figure it out

[Blue_In_AK]

43. I recognized you right away.

[femmocrat]

44. Same here!

hehehe

[kentauros]

46. Yeah, it's hard to disguise character

[pinboy3niner]

8. I will, and I'm going to start calling people "My Dear" and dropping F-bombs

[Wait Wut]

9. ...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. YOU WILL NOT!

Or I'll have Skittles kick your ass!

Besides, I'm keeping my username and all that.

So. There.

[pinboy3niner]

13. Spoilsport!

Back to Plan B--to address everyone as "Sir" and "Madam"...

[Rhiannon12866]

24. ROFL!

[A HERETIC I AM]

29. You should talk to everyone like they are an annoying Air Traffic Controller. n/t

[grasswire]

33. Skittles works for you??

[Skittles]

56. Ms. Peggy keeps me on retainer, yes

so watch out, grasswire; yes INDEED

[pipi_k]

23. Maybe

We should all do it...

[Renew Deal]

25. lol

[kentauros]

47. You must be one of those

Commonist Muslin supporters

[pinboy3niner]

48. Why, yes...

...but you can just call me "Peggy" for short.

[kentauros]

51. If you're not in the fun forum there,

please show up soon, Peggy!

[Wait Wut]

11. Yep, changed.

I'm going with one of my other personalities over there.

[WinkyDink]

12. No, because I'm not going to join. And I hate the font, too.

[okaawhatever]

14. Yes, I did. nt

[Callmecrazy]

15. I revised mine...

I actually don't like being anonymous.

[Ron Obvious]

16. I can't seem to join

I tried to create a new account (same name) and it says the name already exists. So I assumed the accounts were imported from here, but when I try to log in as Ron Obvious, it says I don't exist.

Clearly this new site was only created to filter me out. You guys could have just told me I wasn't wanted...

[uriel1972]

19. I read the blurb...

They've locked out DU names so they can't be stolen. You have to request permission to use DU names.

[Ron Obvious]

20. So, RTFA is what you're saying, eh?

I seem to be running into that a lot lately. OK, now I keep getting:

There was an error processing your request. Please use your browser's back button to try again.

No, it's clearly personal.

[Baitball Blogger]

35. Instructions were to check with the Admins if you wanted to keep the same name.

Your name may be locked out for your protection. They have to release that lock--at your request.

[steve2470]

17. checking in nt

[Joe Shlabotnik]

18. Yep,

Changed it to a character from one of my favorite movies.

[libodem]

21. I'm waiting for

A confirmation in my email. I'll have a new user name. Finally the fresh start I've been waiting for.

With a little less sarcasm, fewer dark depressive predictions about Iraq, and all these years here practicing posting I should be seen as a friendlier person. I'll be cool.and popular.

Woo Hoo, What's not to love?

[woodsprite]

26. Couldn't think of a good one, so I'm taking my dog's name.

. Woof!

[narnian60]

41. I took my new kitten's name.

[Paulie]

27. Release the Kraken

of new names.

[Mr.Bill]

30. I'm over there with a different name.

It's fun using different identities. No ulterior motives, just a fun game. I do it on other forums, too.

The real fun is when someone is your friend on one forum and for no reason hates you on another one.

[nolabear]

32. I'm incognito.

That's not my user name, I'm just there incognito.

We should start a Twenty Questions thread to figure out who everyone is, though I might enjoy being a different person for a while.

[pipi_k]

34. Using a name

not even closely similar/related to the one I use here.

It's fun trying to see if I can figure out who everyone is. Even if I don't figure it out, it's still cool.

[Orrex]

36. I'm changing YOUR username over at the Discussionist.

[Coventina]

37. I debated about it, but I ended up registering over there.

Different user name.
Same personality.
I am who I am.....

[frogmarch]

38. Somebody took "frogmarch"

Last edited Wed May 14, 2014, 04:11 PM - Edit history (1)

and it wasn't me. Any posts there by frogmarch are from an impostor!

EDIT: I just learned that Skinner protected DU names from being used, and if we want to use our DU names, we need to email him. Yay! I am glad no one is using "frogmarch" but me.

[geardaddy]

39. Checking in

I've changed my username.

My sig line is the same though.

[UTUSN]

40. Seems like there was just a yen (including the Admins) for a fresh start with a new identity

Maybe just a season of name-change might have sufficed. For somebody with my erratic posting, Witness Protection would be appropriate (but staying put).

[Blue_In_AK]

42. Just barely.

Blue_AK.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

45. New avatar, new name

same ole sig line

[Glorfindel]

49. Yes, I did. New name & avatar

I was not, however, impressed with Discussionist. I'll peek in from time to time, probably, but I doubt that I'll post much there. DU is home.

[GentryDixon]

53. I changed my name.

I have not posted, but have served on one jury. It is quite fun reading the posts and seeing our team putting facts out there for the other side to consider.

[Callmecrazy]

54. I think it just needs to find its own mojo...

Let it live and breathe on its own. I don't want to shape it into anything, i just wanna go along for the ride.
I have revised my username there, but my profile is the same.

[In_The_Wind]

55. Everything about me is new over at the Discussionist.
