to (re)introduce myself?

[yolofish]

I posted on MN a little bit reasonably recently, under a different name. due to various computer malfunctions, its taken me a while to get a new name and password etc.

I know people NC all the time, but it just feels a bit rude to plunge into posting - but on the other hand arrogant to think anyone might remember me?! FWIW dont think I offended anyone...!

[ScarletFever]

" new name " /snip "anyone might remember me?!

well, how are they meant to know if they remember you when they only have your new (or old) name?

[LadyLuck10]

Well that cryptic post clears it up then

[yolofish]

ok well I used to be boschy (cant remember if capital B or not); wasnt trying to be cryptic just reasonably polite.

[ticktactoegivemeago]

How does it feel rude to plunge into posting? I've been on MN nearly 8 years and NC all the time so nobody would even think I'm a regular but I don't feel rude.

This is very attention seeking.

[LadyLuck10]

If people had to reintroduce every time a nc happened then this board would be spammed.

[Winterbells]

Yabu.

It's pointless. If every new or recently returned poster (re)introduced themselves the site would be overrun. I don't really pay attention to usernames, I don't care if someone is new or has lurked for a long time etc. just post. If it is somehow relevant to a post you could mention your name change in a reply but it's silly to have a whole thread dedicated to it.

[BitchesGetStuffDone]

Why are you so special that you need to introduce yourself? No one else does. It's pointless.

[PausingFlatly]

Oh I remember Boschy! Er, can't remember anything about you though!

Welcome back! Did you know we now have ?!
(And a )

[PausingFlatly]

As you can see, however, AIBU hasn't changed much...

[fluffyraggies]

I don't think you have to be all that polite on here OP

There are literally thousands of posters here on MN and thousands more lurkers/one off posters. Relax. Enjoy the anonymity.

I've been on MN for about 5 years and really only recognise a very few familiar names. And they are those that post every day on most threads.

"I don't think you have to be all that polite on here OP "

lol!! most people like it here because you dont have to be so polite - its a really refreshing change from the faux politeness/reporting to mods for bans of places like digital spy

YABU

MN has literally thousands if registered users. If we all felt the need to introduce ourselves after a period away/name change it would just clog up the boards. And for what? I relish the anonymity of MN and NC every few weeks. Very few people 'know' each other.

[VanitasVanitatum]

"FWIW I don't think I offended anyone" seems like you can now cross this out OP

[yolofish]

ok I now consider myself told and hope evryone will allow this to drop out of sight!!

[Firbolg]

I change my name about once a fortnight, more often if I think of it.

[MiddletonPink]

As you can see OP this place is full of rude fuckers.
No need to introduce yourself.
