So how is this going to work? Will there be a "button" in your profile or what?

I understand why this is happening but it’s going to ruin the membership. We won’t know who anyone is.

Maybe we should have a "gentlemen's agreement" that if you change your screen name you should still stick with your avatar for 30 days to give everyone a chance to catch up. |

Will my ignore list survive the transition?
Or do I have to add the new Aimless name to my list? |

View Quote 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. |

Quoted: Archives are having just the OP name remain, all other poster names including quotes are getting nuked according to the Goat. The post content will remain, just not the name(s) associated with them. General, Hometown, and EE will remain inaccessible at this time. Archives will be team only for a while. View Quote Good. It's gonna suck to lose some good info but a site wide purge is the best way to do this. Goatboy deserves serious kudos for working his ass off on this. |

I want to use one of GD's favorite phrases:

@Goatboy
Didn't read thread. What happens if I change my user name to my same username? Dividing by zero, for real. |

View Quote That probably defeats the purpose - but I can’t imagine this goes smoothly. We will get trolled by account names and avatars, and we won’t know who is who without removing the anonymity that comes with changing. I think this is gonna be messy. |

Can we get this and any other tools for protection pinned with links once it's up and running vs a discussion thread?

Is the name change also going to change the member ID number?

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. |
