    Any regret picking their user name? I want to change mine but I'm too stingy to become a subscriber.

    Absolutely none. To the informed few it gives me an air of scholarly gravitas which I in no way actually deserve. To the ill informed, im something to do with farming and popular soft drinks. To everyone combined, I am a faceless irrelevance..... :(

    Only when I tried to introduce myself at the last Boards Beers :o

    Didn't want to shout across the table so I thought it'd be better if I whispered into Balfies ear. In hindsight, that wasn't the best option either.

    I always thought you were a character from the City of God novel.

    Not when people try to pronounce it at a beers, no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,585 ✭✭✭Dante


    In hindsight, I may have went just a tad a bit overboard with the a's.


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I regretted my first username! But I like this one. I mentioned I was going to change it recently and I got given out to, so it stays :D

    Now, if I wanted to change it, and I didn't want to subsribe forever, I'd subscribe for one month (a fiver) and then unsubscribe!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,536 ✭✭✭AngryBollix


    I regret getting banned so often

    So I could pay a fiver, add the missing A from my username, and that's it?

    Don't. You are unique :D

    yep!

    As long as noone else actually has the correct spelling of your name!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 236 ✭✭Davidson2k9


    Yeah its a bit childish/non creative


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,198 ✭✭✭CardBordWindow


    Don't. You are unique :D
    Aw shucks. :o

    Don't be too flattered. All usernames on boards are unique :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,732 ✭✭✭rain on


    Mine's a bit wet. But I can't be arsed changing it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,313 ✭✭✭darlett


    I didn't want to pick my name cos theres a lot of nutters on this internet thing or so i've heard.

    I succeeded in not picking my name so that was some result.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭Seachmall


    When people mention my username in a post there's only a 1:3 chance they'll spell it correctly.

    The two most popular misspellings are "Senchmall" and "Serchmall".

    That's the only issue I have with my username (and it's a small one), all-in-all I'm happy out with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    People have mistaken me for a plane.


  • Registered Users Posts: 485 ✭✭Lombardo86


    Initially i thought i was funny.. now i'm not. I dont think a lot of people knew who Attilio Lombardo was.

    For those who don't, educate yourselves here!:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    I love my username. It has a streamlined look you don't get with inferior usernames.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    No regrets for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Anyone

    I hate mine. All the ones I usually use were taken so I ended up robbing one I thought was okay from another forum. Damn registering when 15, not a good choice. I'll subscribe and change it some time..
