Do you remember your first username you may have registered years ago or maybe just a few days ago? Originally, what spurred you to create the username? Did you revert back to it when name changes had a final request period? If so, why? What significance does that username have to you? Is it because it was your first username online anywhere - so you want to hold onto it for nostalgia reasons? Or maybe you just thought it sounded nice, or something along those lines. If you didn't change back to it, why not? Were you afraid that people would remember your past and treat you differently due to that, or maybe in general the name just appeared to be "noobish" so you didn't want to embarrass yourself? If this is your only username you've ever had and you were around before the end of name changes, why did you keep it in the first place and now even, for those who weren't around then, why haven't you made a new account to change names? Or, the username you have now, that you may not have had in the past, why do you like it and does it represent you?
How about usernames in general, do online usernames even matter to you? Would you be fine if vB/PC didn't allow you to have usernames and instead everyone knew each other by their userid?
Share how you feel about your username. :)
Personally, my first username was "simpsonqueen" and in a way, I sort of miss it. By the time final name changes came around, I became attached to "Forever" and that represented me. That represented who I was and how I changed, in a way. It also represented my favourite song, Forever. However, I couldn't go back to simpsonqueen, even if name changes were still around, my life has changed too much to... be that person. I enjoyed the username while I had it, but it's better without it now. I should probably put that on an alternate account, though. Though. yeah I just wouldn't want the username again.
My userid isn't that bad, since it ends with three numbers that are the same, but I'd hate to go around memorising userids for everyone, so usernames are much easier for me to identify with. If that had to be done though, I guess I would just deal with it, although I wouldn't like it.
