This may cause a bit of nostalgia for some but I'm curious as to who here has had their username changed over the years?? It may explain a few usernames which just popped up as well as a few absences and some reminiscing never hurt anyone 
I can't believe that all our current staff signed up with their current names eg. Mark, David, Chris.
anyway if no one noticed, I changed my username from 'crestfallen12' to just 'crestfallen'.
Anyone else??

I'd rather see Groovy's.
I haven't changed my username, or even had a custom rank...

I think it' an unofficially rule that most staff, after becoming staff, changed their usernames to their real-life names.
Mods don't count as staff.Cause, in essence, they laze about all day and do nothing
I *THINK*........Nick used to be called 'gamebang'.Chris used to be called Socko.......mmm.Oh and groovy used to be called Ganon.
I think.Cmon memory don't fail me now.

Well I haven't changed my username yet but I plan to in the future. I'm going to change it to Multi-V, it's nickname one of my friends came up with after I dyed my hair an orangish colour last year and supposedly it was the same colour as multi-v juice.

Yeah, Groovy, started off as Eve6 though i think.
This thread will be interesting as I remember when I was absent from the forums, I came back to see alot of different people turns out they just changed their names.
Myself, I've always been Benno.

^ Ah, so you were 1942veteran, very interesting.
Who remembers UmbrellaCEO?? You know the guy who lived in Article Talk and had to go against everybody and have the last post everytime. He changed his named to Ellegarden and seemed to stop posting the day he got his 360.

I changed NeoSanity to Neo.Sanity.
As you can see I'm very creative when I'm thinking of names.

K.K. Slider to Lord Halo Nerd
I was called LHN since Year 7 but when I joined a forum last year I used to be spamming. So I changed it to K.K. Slider but due to the jerks of that forum who think they are cool (Mike Towns *cough*) i got banned. The moved to this website and kept it like that then changed it back to my original Nick Name.

I changed from GT2 a while ago and very almost dropped some caps (to Gtpod, as I'm known just about everywhere else bar here) from my current name... still might, actually.
I still call some members by their old names though (especially zem), or by other names altogether (eg. mek).

Oh, I got first mention! Woohoo!
I didn't sign up with my name though, it was my extremely crappy, and slighty evil, IGN username. And, no, I'm not telling because I like to be mean and make you suffer. Though when I had to change to Mark there was already a member with the name. But since they had never posted, I'm sure their name was changed to Mark02 or something. Not sure.
I'll have a whip at the current staff members usernames:
Luke = vidgamer
Chris-Leigh = Fido
James = Zemaj (I was only told recently that it was just his name backwards and with a 'z' instead on an 's'. I never noticed!)
Sonicwired = Sonicwired... 
Greymist = Greymist, both haven't changed theirs to their name.
Chris S = Mr Sockochris
Mark =  oooohh who knows?
Matt = Stonedwell (or something like that. I had to do with stones!)
David = D.Lo
Jeremy = Jeza
Tristan = Tri_K
Bredan = Crusen
Phil = Evangelion, some crappy anime thing
I'm pretty sure that the new batch of staff members just joined with their names, while I don't have a clue what Joseph's was.

Indeed i used to be the oh so controversial Wiiman then i realised how fanboyished that name was... duh  (i'm a moron, took me long enough)
The reason i'm quieter is because of school.. as in education. Obvioulsy i need some.. education that is, i get plent.. oh nevermind. Thats the randomest thing iv ever said/typed, this spell checking devise is handy. Wait i just toped myself in randomness. Go Me! F-f-fine mum ill get back to homework.
*whip cracks*
