Username Amnesty Results

[AB Editor]

Afternoon,

I hope to be able to make the following username changes today at some point.

These usernames ARE NOT LIVE and you should NOT see or be able to use them YET.

I will EMAIL those of you who have usernames which have changed.

I'm afraid that for those of you who have selected a username that already exists (however unused it is) - we can't make the change; sorry! The reasons a varied, but all in all it's a bit of a privacy problem to go in and delete an account which belongs to someone else just because you want their username. We did look at options for how to do this, but we couldn't come to anything satisfactory.

Anyway, for those who selected something eligible, here's the list:

Thank you

[cazzz1975]

some of those choices dont look serious O_o

[grasscarp]

I thought DT wanted to be DTXwordfan

[AB Editor]

Frankly it's too late now :)

[Mick-Talbot]

Who on earth is 'original'?

Mind you the updated name is even worse.

[sara3]

Honestly, if they had any loyalty they'd all get their backsides tattooed.

Fickle people!

This isn't a thread for discussion Grasscarp :)

[cazzz1975]

its going to take a bit of getting used to calling craft "lucylastic"

[bibblebub]

so DTcrosswordfan is now going to use the Cword in his new name - i did suggest Xword might be better but that posting was deleted

[friedgreentomato]

May I ask why mine is not there?

Thank you

[AB Editor]

"May I ask why mine is not there?"

Did you read the post?

[Mick-Talbot]

I can't wait to see the havoc that causes.

I thought the limit was 13?

[dennisb66]

ED, Don't see my change on the list,has "whistonian" really been registered before.

[AB Editor]

God, it is. My apologies. I'll remove it from the list.

[BertiWooster]

Ed

Could you please clarify .

I requested a change of username - then realised that it was already taken .
I therefore then change my requested , some days later , to another name , which was not taken .

Would you have considered the second request , or would you have only considered the first request .

I ask because i cant see my name appearing on the list - or is there another list to come ?

Wonder how many are going to spell Robknot wrong (try the anagram)

[friedgreentomato]

OK I appreciate that Ed but one of the name I asked for was my old one so surely no privacy issue there and the other one I think was taken by a troll which is now banned.

I understand that you must have had hundereds to go through I just feel a little disapointed as I wanted to get rid of this long name.
