CYBERAmazon Has Gone Away ...

[Gatekeeper]

... because I got tired of my old handle, which was created at a time when I was fully immersed in the mythology, legends and archaeology surrounding the ancient Amazon Nation.

CYBERAmazon is now known as Gatekeeper (I've included this in my sig as well, just to be neighborly). My new handle more accurately reflects what I do IRL as a journalist and, frankly, I think it sounds cooler than CYBERAmazon, don't you?

My thanks to Ming, et al., for enabling the handle change.

So...who wants to be Keymaster?

I thought 'Isn't that cute, gatekeeper has adopted CYBERAmazon's avatar in homage to his favourite poster'. Then the penny dropped, YOU'VE BLOODY CHANGED YOUR NAME. I really cannot keep track of it all

Well, I thought this would be a nice way of letting others know of the handle change. I definitely know where you're coming from, because I have a hard time keeping track of who is who when handle changes are made and little to no news of the change is made. **L**

Hmm ... hafta check the member list to see if anyone of the 15,000 plus handles is a Keymaster or not.

**LOL** Hey, I know where you're coming from. That's why I included a note in my sig indicating that I am the former CYBERAmazon.

I wonder how many folks have changed their handles w/o really making anyone else aware of it? We haven't had one of those "handle change" lists in the Community forum for quite some time now, eh?

The reason you haven't seen a list for a LONG time is that it isn't really needed anymore. Before, when you could make the change yourself... it was almost impossible to keep up with the changes. Now, you need an admin or mod to do it. We keep a log in the staff forum, and dust grows on it. Most changes are for spelling or for personal reasons. If people want people to know, they can put it in their sig... like you and others have done.

No excuses Ming, you've been neglecting your duties

Ming:

Ah, I see. Would it be possible to see the handle changes made since it became necessary for a mod and/or admin to make the change? Just out of curiosity more than anything else.
