Everyone stand still. This thread is hijacked to Freeper Island

Maybe this wrong place to post. Couldn't find in help, & maybe I Emailed the wrong person. How do you change your screen name?

Depends on your reason to change the Freeper name.

If you want to keep access to your posting history, too bad. It stays with your old name.

If not, just create a new name and start with a clean slate.

Unless the basic Freeper software has changed again. My original Freeper name created in 1998, which is my first choice, can no longer be used, if it is tied to the same email address as the new name.

Are you sorry you asked, yet?

One important part of this is having a good screen name to change to. Ones to consider are:

1. Ash

2. DeepInTheHurtgenForest

3. ClassyGreenEyedBlonde

4. Toiletman

...that sort of thing. Some people like to use their real names - Vladimir_Ulyanov and Josef_Dzhugashvili were pretty famous FReepers. So was a little guy named Lev_Bronshtein. I remember him well. "Bill," he sez, "Axe me another question!" Lev was always a kidder like that.

Don't expect complete anonymity by going to names like John_Smith or Richard_Roe. There's some guy around here who posts under the name Jim Robinson, f'Petessake. Try to be a little more original than that.
