Hey so a lot of people have changed their names over the past year or so.
By a lot I mean like five that I can remember.
I just decided to make a thread where we can archive these changes and discuss them. Why? Because fuck you that's why.
Anyways the ones I know of are:
explosive -> sexplosive
WildDesu -> WD
Marx -> Omega
LunarSoul -> MagicDoorz
What drives a user to change their name? Embarrassment? A desire to let go of your past and move forward? Something else entirely?
Personally I changed my name because after using "sexplosive" for a while on IRC (iirc the original change was done when we were trying to make our usernames more sexy. Good times.) I really identified with that name more than explosive. Plus it's like 10x more original. And sexy.
