I was a total twat at the time and had a lot of problems within myself which are now sorted?

Basically in 2005 i was suffering from severe depression which in turn made me be a total twat, but i liked being ME i am fed up with this name and want to be me again lol

I remember the name Vaunda but can't think of anything bad you did. Ask MN to give it back to you.

TheFool · 29/06/2009 14:11

Ooooooooooooh I remember hearing of you

Oooooh, know the name and, as I didn't join till 2007 there must have been one hell of a reputation there!

snorkle · 29/06/2009 15:04

I prefer TheLadyEvenstar to be honest. I have dim recollections of Vaunder, but nothing specific.

Lulumama · 29/06/2009 15:07

wasn;t here 4 years ago, so can't comment . but it is your name and you can use it.

as has been said, if people are going ot hold a grudge from 4 years ago, then that is their issue

well done for getting through your depression.

Alestorm · 29/06/2009 15:09

Rhubs - are you indeed?

I dunno. I kinda like the anonymity, it's not like anybody misses me.

fortyplus · 29/06/2009 15:11

Is it this one?

Cos if so then there's nothing on there that would make anyone hold a grudge for 4 years!

TrillianAstrahasaJOB · 29/06/2009 15:12

Wasn't here, don't know, would be surprised if anyone held a grudge but since you're happy to say 'sorry, I was a twat' they would be BVU if they kept it.

Make sure you tell everyone that you are/were TLE if you change it though, I hate it when people change names without letting us know who they are/used to be.

Rhubarb · 29/06/2009 16:08

Am I indeed what? A rhubarb? Well no, not really, 'tis just a user name you know!

Alestorm · 29/06/2009 16:10

No, 100% sure!!

myredcardigan · 29/06/2009 16:25

I was here in 2005 and don't remember anything too negative. Was there a thread where you were a little PFB? If not then I can't remember what it was. Most people on here now weren't around then so changing back will mean nothing but if you want to do it, go ahead!

Oh and well done for coming through the depression!

Jumente · 29/06/2009 16:40

Did he really talk in sentences at 10 months, is what I want to know!! If so you weren't being twattish...if not, then that was some epic fib!

Rhubarb · 29/06/2009 16:48

Well, I'm not entirely sure, just 100% sure!

TheLadyEvenstar · 29/06/2009 17:51

Jumente, he really did...his first sentence was "get dat Cat" and he has hardly shut up since he even talks in his sleep arghhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

ds2 on the other hand is a really lazy talker lol.

well, people obviously have the right to post as whoever they choose.

Having done a search to satisfy my curiosity (as I wasn't here back then) and having found several warning messages on the feedback board (which I presume is linked to the for sale boards), I personally wouldn't advise it.

But ultimately it's your decision...

JollyPirate · 29/06/2009 18:30

Well Vaunda - I have been here about 5 years under several different names. If it's any comfort I don't remember the name Vaunda for being anything awful. Certain names have stuck in my head (no I won't be drawn on who they were) for some nasty and irritating comments but your name is not there.

Jumente · 29/06/2009 19:24

Ah how sweet

Seeing what Wannabe is referring to, I wouldn't either - and if you do remember that out of the people on that thread, at least one is still here and will remember you.

I can't comment on whether you were in the right or not but I do remember when it all kicked off, now I've been reminded.

Worriedunfortunately · 29/06/2009 19:46

Its AIBU so I'll say something a little less tactful than normal, that thread made me want to vomit. Urgh.

chipmonkey · 29/06/2009 20:03

Worried, do you have an unusually delicate stomach?

TheLadyEvenstar · 29/06/2009 20:34

Wannabe, there were 2 messages and both people had had explanations and refunds. In fact knickersonmahead will verify this as she and I get on fine now, she understands what was happening at the time.
