I don't think there is a limit @IAmHereForTheFood

girlmom21 · 12/12/2021 10:06

2, but only because I disappeared for a year and came back

badlydrawnbear · 12/12/2021 10:12

2 or 3. I have been here for over 11 years.

noblegreenk · 12/12/2021 10:28

Just this one!

I've tried to change my username but the website never let's me.

ByFarByFar · 12/12/2021 10:42

About 30 over 17 years. I used to have just one but got uncomfortable with the amount of info I'd revealed about myself over the years so now (for about the last 6 years or so) I change it about every 8-12 weeks.

NdujaWannaDance · 12/12/2021 10:45

God I don't know, probably 50 odd but I've lost count and as I've deregged and rejoined twice over the years I can't go back and check, either.

I should have kept a spreadsheet. I sometimes go back and re-read my old posts under the names I do remember, to see if I still agree with myself. Grin

Oldraver · 12/12/2021 10:56

Just one, though I did change to Old Spot Raver when there was a piggy themed time

I was dead proud of that one as I'm usually not clever enough to think up witty n ames

BearSoFair · 12/12/2021 10:58

7 in 9 years. But this has been me for a long time now! Re-discovered an old one I really still like so if I do feel like a change again I know what I'll be going back to.

JanisMoplin · 12/12/2021 11:02

I am on my 4th or 5th. I get bored easily. Also, I have recognised a couple of people.

How do you do that?
SoSickOfItNow · 19/12/2021 15:20

@MaryHingey just by using the advance search.

Sgtmajormummy · 19/12/2021 15:32

4 including this name (a reminder of a never-to-be-repeated parenting fail). Plus…
One Christmas name change.
One for my special craft interest.
One for very unusual advice needed.

Jabbawasarollingstone · 19/12/2021 15:39

34

NdujaWannaDance · 20/12/2021 04:26

@MaryHingey

Just use advance search and put your old username in the bottom field. It will come up with all posts made by that username.

LordPeppercorn · 20/12/2021 06:21

Too many to count but not up to 127 yet, I don't think (Though I haven't counted). I change for many reasons.

I know some posters declare they don't like posters changing names but these are usually the ones who love to trawl through people's history for gossip and are disappointed when they can't find informationGrin. Just for that alone, I say go nc feature and fellow serial namechangers!

WunWun · 20/12/2021 06:24

It was good looking through them all, I might resurrect some 😁

pigsinblanketsrule · 20/12/2021 06:34

Loads, I name change twice a month.

User8756777732 · 20/12/2021 06:36

Prob around 40. They are getting less inventive (see current one).

I got recognized on another forum by a friend so now super paranoid so change a lot, though depends on the topic too.

I try to reuse old ones.

This thread makes me feel better!

RonniePickering · 20/12/2021 06:39

Around 6-7 I think 🤔 This one is around 6 years, I can't remember what it was before this one (because they're listed in alphabetical order rather than chronological)
How the bloody hell are some getting into hundreds 😳😆

ifonly4 · 20/12/2021 08:51

One. Never knew how until this thread got me looking at my settings! Will keep it though as there's a few people I've come across over the years and we recognise eachother on thread so nice to send a 'wave'
