A screenshot of one of HAB's posts was used in an article on MSNBC.

  • I saw that and was thinking how glad I am I changed my name! How crazy!

  • I know! I'm glad they cut off her siggy, but could you imagine if they hadn't and she'd had photos of her kids or something?

  • This is why my name is a Hemingway character, my avatar is Lindsay Lohan and I don't have my kid in my sig.  I did post a pic of myself on ML today, but I really don't care about people seeing me.  And I DD any personal posts pretty quickly.

    But this shiit is fuuuucking dumb.  I want to quit TN altogether, but I won't.  At least until I move back home in 5 months and can be around my real friends. 

    Shot first, questions later.
  • *sigh*  Back into my hidey hole I go.

    I don't want to be on MSNBC, yo.
  • Holy. Shiit.

    I think it depends on why you want to change. If your screen name is your real name they usually will change it. If you just want to change it, I guess that's up to them? Did you give a list of names? Did they give you more of a reason other than its just not allowed?

  • I explained that I didn't want my maiden name in my screenname for persec reasons. I didn't give them any options. But they wrote back saying the only way to change it is to delete my account and start over. I didn't really want to do that..

    when did you ask? They've been doing it recently. I would try emailing them again saying its your real maiden name and give them some options to change. I guess if they still don't it's really not that big of a deal to start over if it means that much to you. Many of us (myself included) have scrapped a screen name and started over.
