Changing username/avatar

[Kasynlie]

How often do you change your username and/or avatar? Does is bother you when others do so?

 

[Flurry]

I don't do it very often. And it doesn't really bother me. However I get a little confused when someone does change their name and I'm not recognizing who they are at first.

I never change my user name and only change the colour of my avatar occasionally.



If folks change their user name too often, it starts to get a little confusing in my opinion. It doesn't bother me at all if someone changes their avatar.

Ive only changed my username once in the past 4 years. I change my avatar all the time though.

 

[Howard]

Yeah, I remember when you did that mate.



I must say, I did prefer your old user name to be honest, but I guess that's just me lol.

 

[Jazzy]

Never change my user name.



Avatar I like to change often as the mood strikes me.



When users change their user names often it does become confusing until you get used to it.

I've only changed my name once, because I wanted a more world domination feel to it

Avatars... I tend to change when I find a cool one, or if I'm bored. But I don't change them much.

Same way. This is actually the first time I've had an avatar on any forum other than when I was on SMF for a brief period. As for the username, I don't really change it that often. Only if I'm in the mood for something different, and that rarely happens.

in 6 years of being a forum hound i have never changed by username........9 times out of 10 is Beowulf anyway which has become my sort of online alter ego



as for avs/sigs.........somewhere i change them every day cos i get bored with them.....just checked, my file of avs and sigs runs to 6 gig

 

[Evil Eye]

I don't change my name.

My avatar's changed at least once a year though.

 

[Alien]

I never change my name when I have joined a forum, though I dont use the same username on every forum I visit.

I change my avatar whenever I can be bothered, which isnt very often

I don't change my username that much. However I change my avatar very often

 

[Wingedkuri]

I go by two different names but I hadn't changed them for years.

(Like here I'm Silverpaw while on another I'm Acid-Flier)



I change my avatars quite a lot! There is just so many to use that I've either made myself or found in the icon communities I follow. Whenever I get bored of my last icon or found another I really liked I'll change them.



I don't mind these getting changed often by other members. As always name changes get confusing but I'll remember the new names eventually! I tend to call them by the first username I remember them having out of habit though.
