So I like the idea of being able to change your name and all but doesn't it get super confusing when someone keeps changing they're name? I honestly think that you shouldn't be able to do that for the sake of sanity and order. But you can do whatever you want, it's just my thought.

You only get 3 changes per month. If you don't recognize someone you can go to their profile, and there will be a button that displays their name history.

Ah, I didn't know that there was a limit. That makes more sense, and I did know you could go to the profile and veiw the other names but that just seems like to much of a hassle.

You could just be like me and memorize their profile number?

That always works, 407

Yeah. Most people don't change their name that much anyways, so once you're here for a bit it gets easy to keep up with. :)

Cool, hopefully I'll be more active and stuff. I really like the forum though, I give it two thumbs up.

Es bueno.

The name change thing isn't so terrible.
I have only seen a few name changes in the time I have been here.

It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

From what people just told me that's what it seems like.

I am a one name type of guy, so you won't ever have to worry about that.

Good, I'm also a one name kinda guy. Although if I get REALLY tired of this name I might change, but don't count on it.

Noted.
There are a few other around here that have also never changed their names.
I am a big fan of consistency in that sense.
