Release the bats and grab your broom
(Ignore the impending sense of doom)
Dust the cobwebs off the cat
Straighten up your pointy hat
It’s time to think of a spooky name
And join our annual name-change game...

Welcome, guys 'n' ghouls, to the 2018 Halloween Name Change Competition.

Enter by posting on this thread under your terrifying new name, which should be a clever play on your usual username.

You have until Friday 26 October to post on this thread with your name change, and we'll then create a poll of the ten best ones.

You can then vote for your favourite, which we'll announce on Tuesday 31st October. The winner will receive a load of old tat bundle of goodies from MNHQ.

Halloween Grin

UPDATE The poll is now live - cast a spell your votes nowawwwooooo.

AaahhwoooooOOOOooOOOOo - it's the Halloween name change spooktacular!

that is truly shit, hound them down and throw them into fires of hades. Shrieeeeeeeeek

BlackWitchInChildWringing · 23/10/2018 12:19

Talking of emojis, I have seen people elsewhere on MN using them when they have not bothered to name change. Halloween Shock

I think you should have to name change to be allowed to use them. Halloween Angry

Otherwise, such misappropriation of our emojis is cultural theft, and should surely be in breach of Talk Guidelines.

These lazy thieves deserve every Halloween Hmm and Halloween Biscuit they get.

Hunt them down, people and emoji them appropriately.
