Do you?

I mean if you actually get the blue bar and then you realize that your username is Gamertag1236547. It looks kinda off with all the random ass numbers and the mythic.

I hope I'm not just rambling or somthing, hope it makes sense...

You have a good point, but ehh. I've come to realize that the name I chose is going to be my online alias for as long as I am on this site, changing it would be, weird... It would be like having a loyal dog for 10 years, and then renaming him because you wanted to. Just doesn't really work imo.

I had an awful username. Then I changed accounts 1 1/2 years later when this account name became available. I suppose that would bother me if join dates or member titles meant -blam!-.

I don't really relate that "feeling" to title or account age. There are "Members" and "Exalted Mythic Members" that wish to change their username.

Me? I used to frown upon my use of numbers, and I felt like "Izak" didn't sound very cool at all. But now, it's a part of my B.net identity; and I'm starting to like the way it looks again.

yeah this reminds me of the time i got sent to jail for stealing crocs from target becozs i wanted all of the colors because i only got the green wons for my birthday and i wanted more ;)

I'd prefer 'Morto', but I'm fairly happy with what I have.

Mythic members are like people with tattoos. Just as soon as you become a Mythic member, you can kick anyone's ass. It really works.

Not at all. This is a reflection of who I used to be and the name is the biggest part of it.

I actually quite like my username, even though the second part is completely random.

  • 04.27.2012 2:02 AM PDT

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

I'm completely satisfied with mine.

  • 04.27.2012 2:29 AM PDT

Wake me, when you need me.

Eh, I wouldn't mind changing it, but I'm fine with what I have.

Feel free to send me messages, please be willing to wait 6-8 years for a reply.

1-7 hours if you at least tried to make it readable.

Immediately if you are Yax, Telec, or legendary.

Never if you are mythic, you guys smell funny.

All the time.


Plus, they are titles, not ranks.

I actually quite like mine... my brothers used to be G00SE to it was quite fun playing Halo together.

  • 04.27.2012 3:07 AM PDT

Well since they are ranks and not titles, everything in every post reflects my glory. My username contains a large part of my glory. Praise me and my beautiful everything.

  • 04.27.2012 3:38 AM PDT

Nope, I like my username.

For some reason a lot of people assumed that my username used to be "The Great Pretender" and that I changed it to "Great_Pretender" at some point.

Why the -blam!- would I do that?

That said, at this point I wouldn't change it to "The Great Pretender", because "Great_Pretender" has a certain sentimentality to it.

I gave a lot of thought to my username. I was happy with it when I first created this account and I still am today.

I wouldn't change mine even if I could.

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

Not too long ago I wished I could change my name but now I'm glad I didn't get the opportunity.

We should know better, because we are better.

I was okay with this one for a long time, but I feel like it is time for a change. If I could, I probably would drop everything and change it to just XD.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

I do wish I could change my username. Alas I cannot though so I will have to deal with that.

What is an everything?
No, I like it. Even though I'm not a high rank yet, I plan to be and will be happy with my name when I get there.

You bet I do, so I just made a new account with the username that I wanted. I'm still on the fence about leaving this account behind though.

My name. My rank. My very being. My text shines brighter than the gold of a Bungie Employee.

I'll let you know in 4 years.

Yeah. It's too generic. But then again, I am the King of No imagination.
