    Change user name?

    I'm just wondering about changing my username - when I signed up I had no close-knit this forum was, nor how many local members there are to me and that I'd already be meeting people. Garfield is a pseudonym from college; it is not my last name. I felt a little dishonest explaining in person that it wasn't my real name, which for me is a big deal. I know forums have policies against username changes so I thought I'd post this here. I guess I'm fine either way, hopefully I'll meet more of you so it's up to you I guess

    No big deal really in my opinion.
    I am not really named Wingsconsin either...
    But it does give a hint about where I am from...

    2002 Honda Goldwing GL1800 Sunburst Pearl Orange
    1983 Suzuki GS850 GL Blue & Black

      And my name is not ...

      OK, so it is my name, but some people don't call me that.

      Don't worry about the name. It actually adds a small layer of anonymity for trolls and lurkers.

        Yeah, ive had second thoughts about my username, an old joke between my sister and me, but it doesnt bother me.

        You can always put your proper name in as a signature if you choose.

        I find it mildly amusing when im called DB or dork

        When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

          I usually respond to "hey a$$hole!" more often than my own name.

              Looking down the list of active posters, there are actually very few of us that use an actual name.

                The assorted "GS1000"s are rather confusing...

                  Yeah, but there are only ten of them.

                  I just looked at all the "Steve" entries, there are 17 of them, including a couple of Stevies and Steve-os,
                  then there are a couple of Stephens, too, for a total of almost 20.


                  And, ... that is only the ones with Steve at the beginning of their user name.
                  That does not include members like 'amxsteve'. No telling how many more that adds to the list.
