real names v. nicknames
Friday, February 8, 2002 by Ruthven | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
When I first signed up here, I must've missed the option to use a nickname. Here it is, months later, and I'm getting really tired of seeing "Glen Eric Reed" on there (particularly on the message board). I use nicknames elsewhere, which just makes this all the more annoying to me. I've been told (for some probably technical reason I just don't understand) that it's not possible to just change my record in the magical wincustomize database, so I have a dilemma.
Do I just continue with the full name and deal with it? Do I re-register a new account and start from scratch? And if so, do I delete and resubmit all my skins (can't see doing that). Or, do I beg someone and offer cash to figure out how to change my stuff retroactively?

Can't say LoidiBoid is much of an improvement though. I'm having all kinds of strange associations with it.

I am glad that you came out and said that Crea. I thought I was the only one and was feeling a bit mentally unsure of reality.
You give me hope.

Oh. 
I can change it again I suppose...
LoidiBoid plunges into deep despair, seriously questioning his entire future.
...and I thought it was so unbelievably kool.

See, this just makes me unsure of whether to bother changing from the real name (that, and with 40+ skins on here, I imagine "Glen Eric Reed" is fairly recognizable, at least in the Dashboard section).
So elsewhere, I'm usually "greed," "greed6," or occasionally "Ruthven." Do I ask T-Man nicely (aka "beg") to switch to one of those, or just not bother?
Or maybe I should stop worrying about this and concentrate on the skins
