HI i have just logged back on after a three year hiatus, while i finished my OU degree and get the last of my three though their 11+ !

I have name changed as i have had to set up a new account, to access the site so it will be an unusual name.

However, looking round the site this week i dont remember any names.

Has 'everybody' namechanged from three years or so ago.

I have the same name as 4 years ago, but namechanging regularly is the norm it seems.

V brave to start again in AIBU, Grin

Shakey15000 · 22/04/2016 22:10

I have an extra "0" after Jeffergate

I've been floating in and out for at least six years. Done more lurking than actual posting. Never namechanged, wouldn't know how! I wouldn't recognize any names because I don't tend to notice them when reading threads, I'm rubbish. I've seen some people being pretty nasty at times, but also lots of people being lovely. Welcome back anyway.

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 22/04/2016 22:13

I've name changed. I was here three years ago.

Hello!!

SummerHouse · 22/04/2016 22:13

I just don't post much but have never worked out how to found a need to name change.

ilovesooty · 22/04/2016 22:37

Been here for years and never name changed.

SomethingPhishy · 22/04/2016 23:03

Been here a while but forced to namechange after my name/password was 'phished' & published. Been a bit trolly of late, keep your troll-dar on!

QOD · 22/04/2016 23:05

I recognise your name QOD

annandale · 22/04/2016 23:08

I've been around ages, lots of namechanges though as I keep getting drunk and revealing All (i.e. my very dull job etc).

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 22/04/2016 23:09

I was here back then, too, using some variant on Empress. Welcome back. What was your old name?

StuRedman · 22/04/2016 23:22

I've been here forever but had about a zillion names so I'm currently a complete nobody.

AuldYow · 22/04/2016 23:27
