Announcement April Fools 2022 - Reserve Your New Username NOW!

[HENS-and-MARES]

Can I change mine to just a symbol or emoji? Like or something?

I wanna be referred to by that symbol. I am now the poster formerly known as Auntie.

Oh yes does this update include the ability to use symbols? Can you use symbols? From my memory you cannot but that would be awesome.

Hello Peeps, we've got some important and urgent news to share with all our members.

We recently learned that we have to do an important security server and database update. This MUST be completed by the end of the day.

The good news: this will make our community 2x more secure and will reduce our spammers and trolls by up to 72%!!

The unfortunate (or perhaps for others, fortunate) part of this update: We will require everyone to choose a NEW username. For security purposes the new username MUST be something that isn't currently in use.

We regret that this is necessary, but it is something we must do to improve the security of our amazing community!

So, please reply with what you'd like your new username to be. This is a first-come-first-serve process and will reward the peeps that are online, active, and see this message. Once you reply with the username you want, this will be the system-of-record that you requested it first, and we'll reserve it for you.

We know for some this will be difficult, and we ask for patience and understanding as we go through this necessary process. We will eventually, hopefully, be able to convert usernames back to their original ones if members so choose, but it may take some time.

All BYC rules and terms apply when picking new names. Let's have some fun with this since we have no other choice. Thanks for understanding.

I was RevolutionaryChicken. I'd like to keep that, but I guess RevolutionaryChicken1

@casportpony Better kick that ride into high gear if you plan to keep up

Nahhhh, she’s splitten lanes… “Ridin’ the zipper”…. Drafting a wee bit & catchin’ the slipstream bubble from time to time in here….

All she’s gotta worry about is gettin’ bugs caught up under her visor. That can be really distracting!

From my understanding, no one including you can use your current name. Everyone has to pick an entirely new name that is not currently in use by any member.

Ah but that's wasn't implicitly or explicitly stated... So anything goes. You could very well be over_easy....
