Maybe this is a good way to ge reacquainted with those that have changed their nic, and get off on a good foot with them.  Am sure there are many reasons for folks changing their nics.....and good luck to them. 

 

We all have enough going on in our lives today that we don't need negativity.  There is enoough of that in our daily lives.....

 

Let's just enjoy what we have here......at least I am trying.

..for old posters????  I used to feel as though I "knew" some of the posters but now I have no idea who most are or were.

 

Negativity??  I don't believe there was anything negative in my topic.

I've seen a lot of new names. I thought it would make the boards more interesting. But with the mods poofing everything, it might get dull.

Re: WHY ALL THE NEW NICS????

colliegirl......I was not referring to any one imparticular when I used the negativity word.  What I meant was when we had the other board, there was a lot of negativity that went on there.

 

Sorry if you felt I was referring to you  or anyone on here now.  I am finding the posters on our new board to be very darn nice.......In a way, I am liking the change......

Re: WHY ALL THE NEW NICS????

I know for me, when the Q announced a whole redo of the BB, I thought it was a good opportunity to change my nic, which had become a target for a whole group of nasty posters.

 

I used to be Ford1224, and am trying to advise most folks of that as I go along.

That's a good reason to give yourself a new nic......  Good luck with it.  That is exactly what I said in my earlier post on here.  It's an opportunity for a fresh start.

 

If that is a picture of you, my what an attractive woman you are.  I mean that sincerely.

I hope my decision works and my "fans" leave me alone now, since they must know that all negative posts will be immediately deleted.

Re: WHY ALL THE NEW NICS????

Yep. I couldn't keep mine because I got a new computer and had a sllight change in my email address. Apparently, this site is holding on to my old addy with my RCG nickname, so I had to change it. I tried to come up with something that was close to what I had.

Because you clicked on the yellow icon which is "insert spoiler tag".  I did the same thing the other day - I thought it was a yellow smilie to click on for all the emoties.
