my username
 

:) when I changed to my real name from sweetsophiefan, Kate was already taken, hence I chose *Kate*. How long do inactive members keep the rights to the name, i.e. is it likely in the foreseeable future that I may be able to have just plain Kate myself or not really? Just wondered? :)

Unfortunately admin dont delete old inactive accounts...so never. Been wanting to get rid of my dot for years :laugh:

ok :) ta Vicky

I thought you were like 19 when you were sweetsophiefan lol

lol, everyone did. I kind of wish I'd used my name from the start, I'm no longer a particular fan of that housemate either, lol. It just seemed more anonymous when I started and I was quiet cos I didn't know anyone.

I quite like the **, adds a bit of colour imo

Couldn't they change the username of whoever's using Kate, allowing you to use it?

Nah I asked this too a while back. Apparently theres a chance of the user coming back (even the ones who joined but never posted like 5 years ago or watever :shocked: ) so they cant just change details

no, cos on the off chance that person came back they wouldn't be able to log in? It's ok, it's close enough :)

I think *Kate* is a better username than just 'Kate'. It looks snazzier lol.

I was wondering this if I ever wanted to change my name to "Dylan", because the user who is called "Dylan" was banned so would that be any different?

This.

I think it's more cheerful.

i remember i was called karl. for ages cus there was some dude called karl that joined back in 2003 and then we did the xmas names and i got changed back to karl and the other karl seems to of disappeared lol

:laugh2:

I was thinking of my User... I don't think jarroddaniel1 is appropriate anymore. I'd love it to be just 'Jarrod' :idc: Considering everyone just uses my first name anyway.
