I was just reading the 'Name Change Log' in the Poly Forum

Yes, but always with a smile

Insidious.

We should have a 'Retro Day' where everyone changes back to whatever. I would become 'Lancer'.

That probably sums it up nicely... I usually do respond quickly to name change requests... but if I'm busy, I put it off to later, and then yes, I then proceed to forget about it

Good call

It's called a "gray moment", or did you forget?

Up north, we call them "senior moments"

[SlowwHand]

Well you can't call it a gray moment. You've no hair. Look at avatar.

[Japher]

And you can't call 'em senior moments because you're not Mexican!

A study found that in a disturbing number of cases, embarrassing "senior moments" such as forgetting a recent conversation or drawing a blank on someone's name might really be a sign of Alzheimer's after all.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad for a mod.

For several years now, I have wrestled with the question of removing the dash at the start of my handle, changing it from -Jrabbit to Jrabbit. At first, I thought it would be an easy decision, but then I began considering all the ramifications. I drew up pro/con lists. I asked my priest for advice. I have had long, soul-searching discussions with Ming and RAH about it. Sometimes we get extremely philosophical about online identities, the value of consistency vs. flexibility of the alter ego. These musings often continue deep into the night...

As a result, I now alternate between dreams about a handle change, nightmares about it, and losing sleep over it. Ultimately, I think it's my intense fear of remorse that prevents me from doing it... At least, that's what I tell myself...

[Mercator]

Didn't you add the dash in front so you'd end up at the start of the members list? If that's the case, you'd better change your name to !Jrabbit, because you've already fallen off the first page!

If someone should've changed his name it should be me.
Be honest, 'CyberShy' sucks as a name.
But since I'm pretty serious about the "Don't change your name" thing I decided to keep it. That's a brave decision indeed 8)

Back in 1994 when I was 16 I discovered that in the chatrooms girls were more eager to talk to people who faked that they were 'shy'. I just added cyber as in cyberspace in front of it. CyberShy. Well, I'm not really shy so it was a ly. It should've been ShyLy or ShyLyer 8)

Later when cybersex became more known then cyberspace people wondered if I was cybersexshy. Well, I'm not cybersexshy, I'm uber-anti-cybersex since it's the most pathatic form of sex. Thought I should clear that up too

Anyway, that's my ramble on why I'm still named "CyberShy". In other forums I've transfered into Rho'd Berth (which is my name Robert with an inspired by Al Qa'ida ' and an 'h' to end it.) (And no, I don't support Al Qa'ida, I just thought something like: nobody uses a ' in their names, I wannabe unique 8) Maybe I should change into "ShyLyerWannabe'd Berth". No Ming, that's not a request )

[-Jrabbit]

I didn't "add" the dash;it was always there. The reason for it was unrelated to the alphabetical order of the member list. That was just a bonus.
