...and if so, to what?

Everybody else seems to have the name changing bug these days, and now I'm starting to think about it, too. This morning, I got the third PM so far during my time here at SO from somebody asking me if I'm the real Chad Michael Murray. The first time I figured it was just a fluke, the second time I thought it was a coincidence, but now the third time around...

Well, I just feel bad, having somebody think I could be him and taking the time to write, then having to disappoint that person by writing back and trying as nicely as I can to tell them that I'm not him afterall.

So, I just thought I'd see...what do you guys think? Should I change my name? And if so, what funtastic ideas do you guys have for me?

Thanks for your help!

if you wanna change it, go ahead.

AHHHH I CAN'T HANDLE ANYMORE NAME CHANGES.

Change it to "Czas na ______." And in the black, put in your favorite beer brand. :D

The name change thing is getting a bit out of hand.

You're a new member Chad, stay with your current username a bit longer.

I wouldn't change it.

That's pretty pathetic that people actually think you're really Chad Michael Murray.

Well, in their defense, I believe they were all from foreign countries (with possibly the exception of the first one, I can't really remember) so I just figure maybe they think since this is an American forum, maybe the real Chad could be here.

Anyway, it makes me feel pretty bad to have to write them back and say I'm not him, like I'm crushing their dream or something. :(

AHHHH I CAN'T HANDLE ANYMORE NAME CHANGES.

I think I'll change my name to...

Kay Scarpetta.

Well if that name doesn't tell my life story right there, then quite frankly, I don't know what does! :lol:

I don't even know who Chad Michael Murray is. :eek:

yup, AND i heard a rumor that he had EXTENSIVE plastic surgery done to make him look like Gene Rayburn :nod:

Please for the love of everything holy....STOP THE CONSTANT NAME CHANGING PEOPLE!!! I wish TJ would enforce a rule that once you have a username, you can't change it 51,000 times in a course of a year.

I've only had one name besides this, but it was in the very beginning of my time at SO and nobody knew me under that name anyway. :(

yup, AND i heard a rumor that he had EXTENSIVE plastic surgery done to make him look like Gene Rayburn :nod:

i dont get why people get so ticked over it. its just a username. people usually put their old names in their sing anyway

Yeah I think they should delete some of those people who haven't posted in 2-3-4-5 years. I'm sure there is a reason why they dont.

I agree, if a member hasn't been here in over 2 years, then they should be eliminated. Odds are they aren't coming back after two years, and if they do, they have to re register. And if their old username was taken by somebody else, tough cookies.

On a side note, I really like your name All I Want Is Your Clutch. It's very original. :)

Maybe bring that up to TJ or Seth?

Does he have the long microphone too?

I think there is an underlining reason why those non existant members remain. I think it looks better if the site has a higher total number of people registered. I could be wrong, but I think that may be a reason.

Kinda what I thought when I said there is probably a reason. But still thats cheesy.

I totally agree.

And if they're being kept just to say the board has sooooo many members, then that's like stuffing you bra or your pants...it's pathetic.

*Mr. Belding voice*

Hey hey hey kids...WHAT is going ON here?!

All I want to know is whether or not I should create something for my name that won't deceive people from other countries. :(

P.S.--I didn't even know anything named a Smurftractor EXISTED when I posted this!

They probably died.:eek:

Heyyyyyy!! Cousin Blaiw bumped up my old thread!! :rotflmao:

Also, going back and looking at this thread...I'm aware that a certain other member believes that I made up the thing about people thinking I was CMM just for 'attention'.

I do still have 3 of the PMs in my inbox, but anyway, I just went to go look at them again and realized that NONE of those members have ever posted here. At all. They all have 0 posts.

Now I just wonder if somebody was trying to mess with my head! :lol:

also they should delete people who have never posted.
I don't even know why someone would take the time to register if they aren't going to post. :lol:

AHHHH I CAN'T HANDLE ANYMORE NAME CHANGES.
Ditto. Just when people have a certain username, I get used to it. As I get used to the username AND the person, their username and often their avatar changes. At that point, I am back to square one trying to figure out who is who. pissed:

...okay, seriously, is somebody screwing with me on this board?

I got ANOTHER one of those letters from somebody today. And as usual, the person has no posts and has just registered today, which is the same trend with every other PM of that nature that I've gotten, after looking back at them again.

Oh, that is fishy. I would just PM the admins/mods to check out the IP address of these "users." It seems a little odd based on that pattern you have been noticing....

I'm thinking these people googled the name "Chad Michael Murray" and there was a link that came to this site.

And then in order to try and directly contact SO's CMM-thinking it might be the real guy- they signed up and PMed him.

That could be, but I mean...they'd have to search really hard for that, since if you do a search on him there are tons of fansites that come up first. They'd probably have to dig really deep.

I think I'm just going to have somebody I trust check them out for me, just to see if there's any relation.

No, I like it. Let the admins check it out.

You only wish you were getting screwed by someone on this board Chump. :o

Don't flatter yourself, Sharky. ;)
