I thought it might be good to see what everybody thinks about keeping our names the same in the new forum; keeping it easy to identify each other and so on. edit: so far I voted for at least in signature and keep old post count- no offence to ric edit: it has been advised that in the new forum username and display name will be the same. -and maybe people will want to keep their own record of karma...what goes around comes around, if you bring it with you

Why would that offend, Chris? LOL I don't think we'll get to keep the old post count if I understand correctly, tho. Also it seems that username and screen name is the same on the new forum, so just a heads up when you sign up use the name you want seen on the screen. Doesn't appear to be a way to change it once it's done.
Edit to say, I didn't read your opening poll questions accurately. I see no problem with keeping ones old post count in the sig if one wanted. Hell, I never paid much attention to post count anyhow, it's karma that counts!! ;D I kid, I kid.

not a bad idea about karma- I won't bother switching the poll to include this but I'll add the idea into the OP- and the excellent advice/reminder that username and display name will be the same in the new post

I dunno, Chris, I like the idea of a fresh start all around. Level playing field and all that.

Not informed on the layout of the forum. Think it will pretty much be dictated on what will and will not be the format. I may be wrong and am only guessing.

I like the idea of a fresh start myself. My only concern with post counts and karma on this forum is the idea that people might look at mine and take me seriously........so far that hasn't happened though.

I too prefer the idea of a new start. I don't think it's possible to transfer post count, karma, et cetera. Also, I'm changing my username...slightly. It'll still be recognizable as me, but it will be different.
...And all RicWilly photos MUST be posted upon launch. ;D

...And all RicWilly photos MUST be posted upon launch. ;D Damn straight. Personally, I agree, a fresh start would level the playing field for everyone. Plus, it'll give me the opportunity to change my name to what it was originally intended to be (Vincent Dolan instead of vincentdolan), but I just haven't gotten around to changing it here what with the impending move and all.

I said yes, but similar, recognizable names are all good as well.
I'm always Yrx, and if I'm not I'm Levaix.

I think I may change to SwordCollector7, since I never got to start selling swords, I think the monger part would kind of mean I was a vendor, which didn't work out for me when my boss here wouldn't let me sell swords at the computer store I work at Why not I don't know, since Electronic Discount Sales Inc. in Arlington TX does both

I’m don't really care about post count, so that can go for all I care. I think people should keep their old names or at least have something that is recognisable.

I like the idea of keeping the same names, that way I can figure out who I'm reading. Post counts, eh... I really don't feel strongly one way or another. Truthfully I didn't even notice them for the first year or so.

Personally I would like to keep our names and karma , mainly because I dont think The DreadPirateBrad has the same ring to it. And I'm Bradleee42 on everything else I've been on for the past 10 yrs. so it's easy for me to remember my usernames. Oooooh! Donuts. ...what were we talking about?

agree with Bradlee on the same name stuff. I've been aceofhats far too long. Just my two cents.
(please let there be a classifieds section, loved that thread)

I voted yes, although I just might shorten mine to "Slack". I've been "Slack" "Slackitude" or some variation since the nineties, in real life and on line and I'm comfortable with it.
Edited to add: As for post count, I don't have such a huge one but I don't mind so awful much losing it, I had fun building mine up here and I expect I'll enjoy building mine up in the new place.
