What do you know?? Not the full story perhaps.

Talk Board was specifically asked by Randy Petersen to look at this issue of name changes, and similar names etc.

We did. In great depth.

It was decided to split the issue (as there were indeed 2 issues) into 2 motions and vote on them seperately.

Both motions were comfortably approved by Talk Board.

The exact results you can see on the special sub forum above, and who voted for what.

I voted YES for both motions.

In short for new members the message is clear - to think carefully about the handle you choose. The wording we approved will become part of the TOS, and read by all new members.

If you initially call yourself FargoFlyer or FargoUnited1K and after 1000 posts and 2 years on FT feel that as you are now based in Tampa and fly AA or DL, and want to call yourself TampaBayAAFan and also feel that FargoUnited1K was not such a bright choice, you can change your handle (one time only) as long as you advise Admin to disable the FargoFlyer account.

And the new handle will now read:

TampaBayAAFan
(Formerly FargoUnited1K)

To ensure that no members can be misled or confused - most important in venues like Coupon Connection.

But your post count and date registered clock re-sets to zero. So - for all new members - think carefully about the handle you choose.
