This is what I get for not paying attention I suppose, but you'd think Star Wars Online would have sent an email with the notice instead of simply posting it onsite where it could be missed.

Anyway, as many of you have probably figured out by now, as of May 16, 2005 our screen names became PERMANENT.

Which isn't a MAJOR problem, except for the fact that I didn't KNOW about it until after the fact.

Now, like many of you, I had adopted a screen name or persona, "DJ Maul," as my permanent nickname, but would alter it and add a "tag line" after with whatever bit of wit would enter my mind at the moment. It would change often whenever the mood struck, but I always kept DJ Maul in the beginning for ID purposes.

Anyway, my last tagline, "Got Feet?" was a play on those famous milk adds...Since I'm "DJ Maul" and Maul got cut in half and had no FEET left....get it? Yea I know, not THAT funny....but anyways...

So now it seems I am forever STUCK with that stupid joke as part of my screen name due to the change. Had I known I would of course have removed it before the deadline and gone by simply "DJ Maul."

Oh well. Life goes on. Perhaps I can find a way to make a plea to the powers that be to change it, but for now, "Got Feet?" may become the longest lame joke I've ever come up with.

Do me a favor: If you ever respond to my blogs or message board entries, just IGNORE that "Got Feet?" business.

DJ Maul is my REAL screen name. "Got Feet?" is a joke that should have been deleted.
