 | The Future of Screen Names is Bleak |
Life will be different now that we can't change our SNs.
It really should be interesting. Recently I've noticed that new members to starwars.com tend to pick screen names like "heydog#1palpfan3049" and "DarthSithyLord9." Thing is, while members used to be able to experiment with their names, now they're just plain stuck.
Take me, for instance. When I first joined this site, I decided to call myself RemnantWarrior. This was one of those things that seemed like a really good idea at the time. Now, after a few months I suddenly noticed that most other members' screen names had, um, spaces.
So I decided to add one to mine as well. I was amazed -- Remnant Warrior just looked to much better! I had just discovered the world of screen name changes. Pretty soon I'd even added a "the" to the beginning. I was rockin'.
Eventually I realized the entire "remnant warrior" thing was a little cheesy, space or not. So I abbreviated it and have been happy ever since. But these new guys...
They might be stuck with "Kermit Yodas Long Lost Brother"! Or something EVEN WORSE.
So while I doubt this will be read by anyone who hasn't joined yet...choose your screen name wisely. You'll be stuck with it till you die or get banned.
...Scratch that last part.
