Musing on MN nicknames, can anyone help?

[RandomNumbers]

IIRC, the ability to use three letters* in a MN username stopped yonks ago; if you had a three letter or fewer username already then that was fine but further and future namechanges or new registrations had to use four or more letters.

When was that, can anyone rememember? Or I am misremembering and the three letter username facility remains. [ponders]

*like UCM for eg

DZH only became DZH a few months ago. His previous nn had more letters but he had no problem changing it.

It let me.

Tbf I got bored of trying to find an actual 3 letter word that wasn't in use, so ended up going random.

So now you're RandomLetters instead of RandomNumbers.

No, MYE was me, not RandomNumbers That wasn't very clear was it.

I was just trying it out to see if it would work.

Cool thanks guys, you rock

What made you think that people weren't allowed 3-letter names?

I think it was round the time of the NN auction yonks ago. Praps it was two letter names I am thinking of.

Not that it is relevant or even interesting. God I am boring even myself.

:o

You are not allowed to talk about the NN auction. It still makes me and tech shudder at the memory.
In answer to the OP. erm, I dunno.
HTH

Olivia, I am SO sorry

Mary you are NORTY

I have a 2 letter nickname that I got just last year and this 3 letter one at the same time I think.

So that leaves us with one letter nicknames. Were they ever allowed?

You can still have a duo, see^, singles are not allowed.

Nn must be between 2 and 30 characters says the rules.

I've got this one, but I don't use it. I think I was on a thread where we were competing trying to find the shortest NN.

Gawd RandomNumbers you dullard. Are you ever going to go back to your proper name mrs? So we can see your giant tiramisu on your profile.

Haven't seen you for aaaaaaages

Oh helllooooooooooooo. Was wondering where you were. How is ds's nose? Was thinking about it/him the other day hoping both were OK.

Used the forge steel this week gone and reminisced fondly about that thread.
