No, sorry. I was thinking of putting on my own socks, stuff like that.

**alva** · March 31, 2005, 08:03

You can put your own socks on???!!!

But I did have a point in that back in the day, it usually took some persuading to get an admin to perform the handle change. Or merge post counts for different handles. Near instant gratification, handle-wise like we know it today was unheard of.

Geezers and their stories of old, obsolete days...

**SpencerH** · March 31, 2005, 08:09

I had one to register at the Greek civ site but I have no idea what it was.

**Solver** · March 31, 2005, 08:12

Oh, if I can remember some of what Diss mentions, I have been here for long enough, not compared to the real oldtimers, but still

.

Haven't changed my handle, here on anywhere else. Always posted on the net under this name (I think I made my first posts in 1999), and still haven't used any other name, and don't plan to.

Boshko -> Dave Boshko -> Zhu Yuanzhang -> Boshko

I'll probably have to change it again soon if I get one of those respectable job thingies.

**JohnT** · March 31, 2005, 08:40

I've always been "JohnT", always will be. I try to be "JohnT" or some variant wherever I register.

We've gone full circle... it still takes some persuading somebody to perform a handle change, or any other account changes... However, in most cases, a request will eventually be taken care of... as long as it's reasonable, and we don't hate your guts

**Kuciwalker** · March 31, 2005, 08:54

skywalker -> Kucinich -> Kuciwalker

I'm now Kuciwalker everywhere.

I've had the same name since I registered, though if 'Poly is still around by the time I get my Ph.D. I might have to rename myself Dr. Odin.

What's it with doctors and their titles anyway? Is it some kind of fetisch or something?
That title is basically the reason you all want that diploma, right.
F*ck all the other stuff that comes with it, just give me that title!!!

Hmmmmm... Maybe because in most cases you need to have a Ph.D. to be a university proffesor?

Oh! So your skywalker! I see.

I used to be Spectator, which is now Spec. Not a big change but since everyone is always calling me Spec. why not change it permanently...Been thinking of changing it back to Spectator thought....Or something that starts with "Spec"

Hmmmm.

Spec.
