Who on BoM *hasn't* changed their nickname?

:bigeyes: Please tell me. I'm very curious.

Felinoid
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 5:17am
Pretty much all of the mods except for chevalier, who used to be "chevalier des Trois Tours". I don't think Ara or HB ever had a different one either, though (by his own account) HB recently came close when he changed his avatar to a raven.

And of course there's me. :D I'll never change my PDN.

olimikrig
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 5:20am
I've never changed my nick, and I don't plan on ever doing so...

Laiwethel
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 5:25am
I haven't changed mine, and I'm not planning to.

Klorox
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 5:52am
I changed mine, but changed it back about an hour later. :D

Nakia
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 6:00am
I dropped the Nightshadow from Nakia.

Arabwel
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 7:23am
I haveused this nick in some form or other since 1999 in just about every forum I participate in - not much chance of me ever changing it.

(And coincidentally, I am more likely to respoond if someone calls out "Ara" than my actual name....)

Death Rabbit
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 7:30am
Me.

I honestly don't think very many of the regulars have - with the notable exception of Rutkowski, who's changed his name at 4 times that I'm aware of.

I've seriously considered changing my nick to "Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Forum." I'm sure you can guess what film that would be an homage to. ;)

NonSequitur
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 7:37am
SP is the only place where I use NonSequitur; everywhere else, it's SpoonMan instead. Haven't changed it, and don't plan on it any time soon.

(and no, it's not about the song - although Soundgarden rocked - but was in reference to the amount of coffee spoons that collected on my desk at uni while I was belting out my thesis...)

Lynadin
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 9:10am
I aleays used Lynadin as my nick, at least on theese boards ;)

Harbourboy
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 11:02am
I have never changed my name mostly because I would get confused if I did.

Rallymama
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 2:21pm
I'm Rallymama pretty much everywhere I go online. I'd answer to "Rally" IRL, if anyone would every put me with the nick. ;)

Uytuun
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 2:24pm
I'm in the group of the stable ones as well. :p

DarkStrider
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 2:29pm
I only just started mine so it's unlikely that I'll change it and I can't think why I would .... yet

SatansBedFellow
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 2:38pm
I've been in bed with Satan for as long as I can remember... :)

JSBB
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 2:55pm
While I have gone from gems to my old accountant avatar to my current polar bear, my nick has remained constant. I have been using JSBB for most things computer related going back to sometime around 1992.

jaded empath
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 3:52pm
Well, *this* nick I have is somewhat a departure from my usual 'empath' but I was going through a major bout of melencholy when I signed up here. (that and I'd assumed a board about FRPGs would already HAVE an 'empath' logged in...who knew? :heh: )

I've been toying with dropping the "Apathetic" part, but 'AE' seems easier for people than even my usual 'sub-nick' of 'emp'... :)

Shrikant
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 3:53pm
Never really changed my nick. I used to spell it with an extra 'h' when I first came on these boards, but thats all the change there has been.

Jack Funk
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 4:03pm
Same as it ever was.

dmc
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 7:22pm
Same as it ever was here too.

I always use it because it's easy to remember (my initials) and that's what we had to use back in the old computer mainframe days (1979 or so).

Barmy Army
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 7:52pm
I used to be Morsmordre until I decided it was a crap name, so changed to BarmyArmy, which is much better.

8people
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 8:35pm
always been 8people :D

Always will be ;)

It's quite important to me :)

Sarevok•
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 9:16pm
Someone else has the original Sarevok nick, so I have to put a dumb circle thingie after mine, I'm waiting for Tal to remove his account, since he only has 39 posts, and 4 years of inactivity :D
It's taken me a while to get used to some of the nick and avatar changes here.

Disciple of The Watch
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 10:28pm
Changed it twice, until Tal asked me to stop changing names. :D

Klorox
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 10:53pm
Sarevok, I think that dot is cool!

Sir Belisarius
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 11:41pm
I've been Sir_Bel since day one - My first DnD character name.

chevalier
Wed, 19th Oct '05, 11:50pm
As Felinoid said, my PDN used to be chevalier des Trois-Tours, although my original login name has always been chevalier. I dropped the latter part because it was just asking for typos and it was too hard on people to type when talking to me, as well. ;)

kuemper
Thu, 20th Oct '05, 12:01am
I just notice how frequently nicks get changed as of late. Maybe there's something in the water? :hmm: Mine's been kuemper on the DnD/BG boards, though my nom de plume for internet writing is Dancer.

Morgoroth
Thu, 20th Oct '05, 12:24am
Nope, I don't think I've ever changed my nickname. ;)

Taluntain
Thu, 20th Oct '05, 1:25am
Just for the record, this is what I send to people who change their names more than once:

"Hello.

I've noticed that you've changed your publicly displayed named recently. Please note that the ability to change your name is there to be used maybe once after the initial registration (in case you've messed something up there), and at best once again after that. It is NOT there so that you can change it whenever you feel like it.

Changing your name is an annoyance to everyone around you, because it confuses people when someone changes their name in mid-post, references to their previous name in threads become obsolete and confusing to everyone who's not aware that they've had a different handle previously, and so on.

So please think carefully, pick a name you'll be happy with and stick with it. Thank you."

Disciple of The Watch
Thu, 20th Oct '05, 3:13am
That sounds strangely familiar. :D

Morgoth
Sat, 22nd Oct '05, 1:06am
If I was asked to choose a nickname now, I would take something else than Morgoth, something less evilish.
But I have gotten attached to it now, and I'll never change it :)

@Tal
I remember getting one with the stop-using-the-bloody-coffee-smilie-as-signature!! request :D
Just checked, and I don't have it anymore, too bad (feeling a little bit nostalgic)

Kitrax
Sat, 22nd Oct '05, 2:50am
Hmmm...way back in time, when I first joined the BoM, my username was 'buzz142010', which at the time was my preferred nick...I changed it to 'Kitrax' about a week later. Ever since 'Kitrax' has been the only nick I've ever used on any message board. :rolling:

Saber
Sat, 22nd Oct '05, 5:52am
I changed from Saber the Arsonist to just Saber, mostly because I prefer the single part, and I think when I registered, someone already had Saber. In any case, It's only been once, and it will only ever be once (Saber is my favorite name.)

Ofelix
Sat, 22nd Oct '05, 6:12am
I was Dungeon Master for about a year and half and then I changed it to Ofelix, because I was sick of people calling me DM and it was confusoing because Death Mage was also called DM. But I won't change it I love Ofelix Too much...

@Chevalier; I always though Chevalier des trois tours was a nice name, never had problem with it either ;)

Eldular
Sat, 22nd Oct '05, 6:37am
When I first registered it was Loviatar, but upon my first appearance in the FAI I found out Loviatar is a female goddess, not a male god as I had thought (boy was that embarrassing). I then changed it to Eldular a few hours later, hoping no one had noticed :rolleyes: . Don't plan on changing it for obvious reasons.

Rastor
Sun, 23rd Oct '05, 6:17am
Rastor's nick has been the same since he registered (well before most people around today it seems) although the tagline has changed once.

Brallrock
Sun, 23rd Oct '05, 6:26am
Haven't been here long enough to change my nick!

Just happened to be the name of my current char in BG2.

Late-Night Thinker
Sun, 23rd Oct '05, 7:52am
I have always thought I should change my nick... It seems sorta pretentious...

"Thinker"...?

What the hell does that mean? Who doesn't think? Oh well...

Not sure what I would change it to...

Plus, how would people recognize the new nick was me?

Felinoid
Sun, 23rd Oct '05, 4:34pm
@LNT:
Not at all. I too used to be a late-night thinker (until I ran out of pleasant subjects), and it's a good way to describe someone who ponders the wonders and blunders of the universe when by all rights you ought to be sleeping. :happy:

Nakia
Sun, 23rd Oct '05, 4:41pm
I love the name Late-Night Thinker.

That is when I do my 'best' thinking. Or my dumbest.

Shrikant
Sun, 23rd Oct '05, 5:26pm
:lol: Can't tell the difference eh, Nakia? :p ;)

Arahar
Sun, 23rd Oct '05, 6:21pm
Never changed and never will. Although I do get confused when people start talking to Arabwel and I miss half the topic :D

Enagonios
Fri, 28th Oct '05, 3:46am
i haven't changed mine yet. was thinking of it though.. ;)

Chandos the Red
Fri, 28th Oct '05, 4:09am
Mine is the same since I first started posting. But I regestired the first time as just Chandos. Then I forgot my password, so I re-regestired...

Elwithral Irenicus
Fri, 28th Oct '05, 10:03pm
Elwithral Irenicus is the name of the person that I always RP with, in anything, with anyone. If you want to see a part of his history, check here. (http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/topic/12/534.html)

I've been developing his character for about two years now, and if you would like to see him in action, check here. (http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/topic/11/268.html)

OK, I'll stop now.. :D

Master of Nuhn
Thu, 3rd Nov '05, 10:15pm
Still da MoN! :p

Silvery
Thu, 3rd Nov '05, 11:54pm
Mine was Bleedme at Black Isle and I kept that for ages when I came here but my mates all call me Silver, Brona, Cahira or Cailin. LOL, Didn't want it to be too long!!

Jaguar
Sun, 6th Nov '05, 11:07am
I have never felt the need to change my nick. I just like the way it sounds.
