I don't like it when people choose to change their names (or are forced to because of new board issues) as I like to know exactly who I'm dealing with. When people keep changing their nic, it really isn't fair, as people have a history, and I feel when I respond I'm not getting the whole picture anymore. When people have posted and interacted under one name, then show up as something else, it is deceptive, as they and their opinions, past etc. aren't new here, but they want you to think they are.

 

i know you don't mean to assume that every one with a new nic is trying to be deceptive -sometimes it might not have been our choice... andI kind of like our new "kinder and gentler" board... and I am happy to be a part of it...

Re: WHY ALL THE NEW NICS????

Glad I saw this post, I felt like a bunch of posters must have left. That's one thing I was missing, was being able to read posts from people I was used to. Now I only see a very few names that I knew from before. It would feel friendlier to know original names, and thanks to those who might do this.

I had to resign up in 09 after a minor update for some reason.  This time I didn't.

Re: WHY ALL THE NEW NICS????

Saw this post and figured this is a good time to jump in. I have been a member for years but never really posted. I would pop in and look around but never said much.

 

I would like to join in now though, so here I am. Look forward to talking with you all

Re: WHY ALL THE NEW NICS????

Have not had to change mine, and wouldn't want to, but I can understand getting tired of a nic and just feeling like a change, or the QVC site requiring one due to a glitch.

I wonder if the Happy Housewife is posting?  I haven't seen her in forever and thought she was posting under a different name.  But that poster swears it's not her.  I figured if she was banned, she would be back.  Hope all is well with her and her DH.

 

I really don't mind if someone changes their name, they're still the same poster they were before.  No need to inform me.

 

I feel like it's a full house around here now!


She's here.  She posted on this thread.  She is using numbers for her nic.  She has the purple flower avatar. 


I have no idea how some of you figure this out!!

 

She's an easy one!  LOL


 


I don't see a purple flower avatar except for @debic.

IDK how people figure this out.

 

Anyway, mine is still the same......I hope HH is back, though...

Re: WHY ALL THE NEW NICS????

Hi all! I thought the numbers are HH and am happy she is here posting. I don't see a lot of new nics myself, but it's great to have everyone here!

Mine isn't "exactlty" new, but I am now a "new contributer", or was at first. When I signed on it said "symbols not accepted", or something similar. I live chatted 2 or 3 times and they said they "would look into it"!  Guess they are still looking.
