Nope. While I stand by my opinion, it shouldn't have been posted in a public thread. Thanks (seriously) for pointing it out.

And, fwiw, I think the forum has been better in the past three weeks.

I probably could've made my point a little better as well. It's gone now, if you want to just remove all traces.

Agree. Scrapper1's prediction was true. As soon as we got our new rulebooks, and started attending our preseason meetings, the number of real basketball issues increased dramatically on the Forum.

I'm Thinking About Changing My Forum Name To Cretaceous Chuck ...

As noted in the title of my previous post, you should change your Forum member name to Nostra-Scrapper1-us. It's probably not too difficult to change your Forum name. Just click on the FAQ link, and follow the directions. I'm sure that you can handle that. Got any football predictions against the spread? I'm 0 for 6 in our office pool so far this season. Thank God, it's only five dollars a week. How about some stock market predictions? The market is costing me a lot more than five dollars each week. Has it bottomed out yet? What about the Red Sox in game seven? I know what ChuckElias would predict in his Annual Off Topic Baseball Thread? But, or course, he's biased. What's your prediction?

I don't believe it is possible, BillyMac. I wanted to change mine a few years ago (i.e., once I had been back in the saddle for a while, perhaps to SaddleSore or One With My Ride), alas there was no way.

This is my understanding too. Others have mentioned changing names in the past, but they had to totally redo their name, and their post count was restarted at 1 again.....

It would be a fairly trivial thing to do for someone with direct access to the database....but it would be a manual change.
