unused nicknames

78 replies

Shoesy · 22/05/2009 08:17

is there any way of getting a unused nickname?
I have always wanted to be twoshoes, but someone has it, but never uses it.
could there be a swap or a way we could give up the ones we don't uses?

i dunno, what do you think?

TrillianAstra · 24/05/2009 22:54

Who me?

I'll need something good to replace it with.

Or do you mean can MNHQ get 'Astra' on its own for you?

southeastastra · 24/05/2009 22:46

can you drop the astra though?

I don't think Justine has the other ruby

NB as for the auction, we wouldn't just grab old usernames from people, we'd check first.

southeastastra · 24/05/2009 20:57

it's weird but you do get attached to your name

TrillianAstra · 24/05/2009 20:50

Why not 5 'ruby's?

Ooh I'd be up for this. The first 3 names I tried when I joined were already taken. I've just looked now and 1 was used once, 1 twice in 2001 and one 7 times in 2004. I would have loved one of those....

I've never found a name that I think 'fits' me on here. Originally I was MamaD and whilst that felt ok I didnt want to put MamaG's nose out of joint (she was here first!). I've changed a couple of times but still think if I could get the name I 'really' wanted I would feel more at ease (it's a name I've been using on a games forum since 1998)

TrillianAstra · 24/05/2009 19:58

Yeah Flame, I figured it would be no-posts names only, which was why I was asking regarding what I thought was a 'joined, posted on one thread, left forever' situation.

But it's not like that anyway. We do both have very good taste, although you, Mrs Original Trillian, must have another name that you use nrmally, so you have a better imagination than me cos this was the only good thing I could think of

Flame · 24/05/2009 19:52

TrillianAstra - I think that the set up is that names will never be given away if they have any posts under it as it would either mean deleting posts (which seems wrong), or someone else's words becoming yours iyswim.

Trillian · 24/05/2009 19:51

As I said before I am sorry if I came across as harsh it is just this was my name at a very hard time for me and I kind of hid it deep.

At least we both have good taste.

TrillianAstra · 24/05/2009 19:41

No worries, as I said I only wanted the name if it was unused and unwanted.
