I have been here for nigh on 3yrs now Aug "2006" It at the time was a life line to me when I 1st joined, hubby worked each night and me dad had just died. Yes there was bickerings etc ( well there was the major move of FTF well done Pippa )

BUT there was never this snide unsure bit, and yes it does come from name changing. Mel people did it before you but I guess you have the Oscar for it.

LOL I got side tracked

So what do You think
1 name for life ( will allow a 1st name change)

or
multiples

Hello Uzzi :-)

I can remember it being this snide at times unfortunately. It seems to come in waves and settle down from time to time.

People will still change their names - they'll just get a new membership. I've seen it done before.

Hiya Uzzi ~~~~~~~~

Hi Red ~~~~~~

well you would be suprised I actually agree I am on other sites that permit me only one board name and I have to stick to it on here GR let me change as often as me pants but I think they enjoy seeing me do it ~ I dont think name changin as owt to do with the rows ~ got the blame for yesterdays shananigans n I was miles away then cos it werent me I hear I was guilty by assosciation! The simple fact is Im a serial name changer its part of me if GR change their policy believe me the trouble will continue!!

thanx for the OSCAR but no thanx no time to prepare a speech but would love a party!!

Yeah I bet GR miss their favourite soaps just to watch your name changes Mel LOL

Seriously though.......all joking aside.......why do you say it's *part of you* I find that a really odd concept? It's a genuine question btw xx

Mel you were not to blame for yesterday's shananigans & had you posted on that thread several of us would have been willing to say so.

Who is blaming Mel for that thread Claire?

~♥footie~angel♥~

~♥footie~angel♥~ Report 7 Apr 2009 19:09

it means in real life we have various role and various things contribute to make us all very unique

I am an angel {to clarify my footie team the saints nick name is angelz} and like footie {or tennis or rugga} ~ so am footie angel mainly, but other surrfixes on angel too ~ match day Pelsall angel

Zipporah, Vi and Matilda are all believe it or NOT based on grandmothers/greatgrandmothers the atributes they gave me

Ethelfreda {whose father burnt the cakes} is also in my tree and one of my fav historical chanracter so if I do any history threads I use her name

Artemis was a hunter, warrior recently I aquired this name as I it seemed very appropriate to the climate ~ n she could kick butt big time!

and so on Innocent is a sad part taken from my tree I use wen Im vulnerable

Mis-understood you understand and various others appropriate to threads

all make up who I am ~ part of me

She seems to have this obsession with blaming Mel for everything.

I think it stems from some disagreement on a thread about abortions.

Ok.I see........I think !

But you can stick to one name on other sites where you're not allowed to change your name and it's not a part of you? So why does it have to be a part of you on here ? That's what I don't get.x

Could you not tag on Mel somewhere, so that we know it's you?

Sorry Kate, I missed your post, Mel herself says she got the blame.

Muffyxx Report 7 Apr 2009 19:20

Mel you change your name 10 times more than others......that's why you are getting the brunt of it.

Not only that you put up threads discussing what your next one is going to be then you go onto a different thread taking the pee and saying you agree there should be no name changes.

Hardly surprising really is it?

Sylvia not a thread about off subject names but a different idea about sticking to 1 name, please don't confuse.
Mel as people say you get the brunt but this aint aimed at u, did I roite that rite ?

LOL Uzzi

I think people should be allowed to change their names at the start if they need to.

I was pretty wet behind the ears on the www when I joined here and I used my real name for a while........DOH

So I can understand it for that sort of thing.

Maybe one natural name change allowed then go through GR for any others. I can understand that would cost money to implement though so it's doubtful it will ever happen.

I guess we're stuck with it tbh x
