It works fine. It will take a little time for everything to catch up, but it will.

 

(note: that's changing your name, not creating a new account. That's been tried also)

I changed mine . . . and several other local cachers have as well.

 

Fortunately there is no "penalty" for doing so . . . although I wish my post count could have started over at '0".

I changed mine once. My old name used to be the name of a business that I owned that is no longer in business. Of course if I ever sell the Jeep, god forbid, I'll change it again.

A fellow cacher changed its name some months ago without any problems.

What happens to the old nickname? Can someone else then use it?

 

Farcical misunderstandings loom ahead!

 

Seriously, what does happen to the old nickname? Can you swith back to in the future, or is it recycled like some digital version of Soylent Green?

The old nickname becomes available for anyone to snatch up.

That's a good point. I wouldn't want some mean-spirited local to snatch up Enspyer if I changed my name.

Most cachers are generally friendly and wouldn't do such a thing...but there are always rotten apples.

If you were worried about that, you could always change your name to the new one, then log out and sign up with the old name for your "sock puppet" account.

I used to be Mitsu** (She who has no name.)

 

 

and then I toyed with changing my name to Oregone, but it was taken. (Just kidding.)

 

Seriously though, I did change my nick. In my first week here I discovered that I had spelled my handle wrong and changed it. Since then someone else has picked up the handle "Snoogins."
