Change username

CaptChaos · Oct 19, 2016

I guess this is the right place for this. How can I change my username? Poor choice of using the same one everywhere and I'm not sure I want everyone knowing what firearms I may have lost in a boating accident at one time by simply Googling my surprisingly unique username. I can better contribute to this forum that way.

Any help?

It kinds of brings up an issue I've noticed as well. This forum is VERY Googleable.

First result when I Google my username. This is why I'd like to change it. I bought a new gun the other day (nothing crazy-Joe Biden approved!) and I am excited to post it but it got me thinking. Do I really want to show this to the world?

I have no problem with people knowing I lost my firearms in a tragic boating accident. I actually own a boat. A sailboat. They tip over in the wind, and throw those unfortunate firearms in the water, after sitting in the sun to dry off from cleaning.

But seriously, I am not sure they will, without revoking your post count. I like being a true senior member. :rolleyes:

The answer is there if you listen.

You were transporting them to a shooting event or range by boat, correct? Boating rules are tricky. Ask Jack. Jack says yes.

Don't post info you don't want archived.

If I remember correctly a user did change his name with the admins help. I don't think it would be very well received if there is a rush of members wanting to change usernames.

I remember a guy who successfully got his name changed to match his other online identities, but it was only after his first day or so on here. I think you are stuck with what you've got now. I would think the mods might let you start over, but I would definitely ask before creating a new account.

It's a simple procedure to change your username. First send me $25. Then contact TexKev and ask him to change your username. It's not necessary to tell TexKev that you have already paid your $25.

I've requested a change awhile back, but never got a response.
Figured it wasn't allowed.

Requested a name change when I sold the Red Cobra. Got no response.

Do you know how many times my name shows up when you search this site?

Hiding in plain site...

(not really, because no one online is truly hidden. Keep that in mind)

This is actually worth it.

You get a discounted rate for the MD Shooters magazine and free admission to the Water Cooler.

(Apparently the magazine is so popular my mailman keeps stealing it. I contacted K31 and he verified the delivery address. And the credit card number for the automatic renewal.)

A certain homicidal nun got a sex change and is now a once popular movie character. But I think DD214 or TekKev have to do the changing.

I'll still need your SSN and bank routing number to unlock the features for super premium membership.
