Subscribed. I'm going to spice up my name here. Larry is kind of boring and not even my real name. My boss was the Beaver so he dubbed me Larry Mondello. Some TV show thing..........

Quote HistoryQuoted: What is the point of changing name if member ID stays the same? The point of the name change isn't to remove your history or change who you are, it's just to allow folks with names more closely tied to their real names to be able to hide them better. In short, a guy named Goatboy would waste a name change while someone with JAvila might want to change it. (To Goatboy!) This isn't going to alter anything other than your board (public) name. That's it. If you are worried about everything you shared, you have a bigger issue than a name change will handle. It's also a bit late to panic. Most folks aren't in any danger at this point. It's the people who post stupid things online like threats, racism, etc which MAY become targets. This isn't just for this site, it's the larger target placed on all Conservatives. I don't believe in hiding because odds are they already know who you are. |

I simply re-used a username that I had at the time on some Harley forum that I never go to anymore.
I didn't care because I was just in it for some quick AR maintenance info and reloading info. Little did I know at the time that GD would become my obsession and my sole reason for existance. I'm not a biker, I'm a motorcyclist. And I'm not a nut. I'm actually normal. I'd change my username, but I'm afraid of fucking it up. I'd keep my NorCal call sign, though. |

Now I'm a S & W Shield fiend and don't even own a Glock. I need a name change just for truth in advertising. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What is the point of changing name if member ID stays the same? That being said, while some members might feel more comfortable donning a new identity, there already exists AI algorithms that can identify people based on writing habits with relatively high accuracy. We collectively have been feeding big tech with data for decades, with few warning of the potential repercussions of that. The chickens are coming home to roost. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Will my ignore list survive the transition? Or do I have to add the new Aimless name to my list? Can't ignore Mods or Staff :-) Goatboy posted in one of the other threads that it will ONLY change your displayed username, but will apply to current and former posts (so if you dropped a bunch of personal info in old posts, it'll still be there). First time will be free, after that it'll cost money. So - what purpose does a new ID serve if all your old posts are associated with it ? It's more intended for the folks who used all or part of their real names or other personally identifiable information in their user name here and want to avoid being doxxed. I need a new name |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought it might be relatively easy without a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo. A dedicated autist could probably pick up on it. I don't know for sure. You are uses 518181... if that doesn't change all somebody needs to do is create a database from a pre-name change cache and compare it to a post-name change live site. With computers, probably not too hard. |
