Preserved Topic: Speaking of changes

Thank you all for your guidance and help over the past year or so.
When I first became an inmate here, I was also new to the internet, having not more than 2 or 3 months experience online. I had used PhotoShop in a very limited way at university, but I was smitten by it and determined to learn more.
I can?t remember the exact reasoning I had for deciding to join the Ozone Asylum. I think it was the excellent ?Hands On Tutorials? coupled with the general vibe of the forums, I felt ?at home? here.
Since then I have learnt much in PS, and now feel confident to learn more. I have even begun to learn how to make my own website; this was something I never thought possible. I know at times I must be a pain, for I am in nature a slow learner and sometimes the obvious eludes me, but with your help I have grown.
With growth comes change. I had decided a while back that I wanted to change my nickname ?Taobaybee? for lots of reasons that I won?t go into here. Rather than give you any of the more prosaic explanations, I shall describe it this way.
Taobaybee has grown and evolved into???.

Love that sig too!!!

I believe we have a place for changing your names right? so that you won't have to re-register again? where is that? I seem to have seen it somewhere in the faq.
Nice motives though Tao...a lot of people have grown to calling you Tao anyway. I don't know what I'm talking about, must be the tireness. Sorry.

It felt like the right time, so I went with it I've had the idea in the pipeline since November.
Thanks Bugs, it's a little on the large(file)size. I'm hoping to refine it further.

Oh I see, I know how you feel. I've been having the feeling about changing my username since I registered.

Hey how come "Tao's" registered since November last year? And you just hidden him the whole time?

Yannah, thanks for the thoughts you gave too, it helped me I sometimes do take things too seriously
As for changing your username, right at the top of the Asylum's first page, the homepage, where it says
"profile

Thank you for that compliment, however, I swear we have them somewhere in the faq.
I'll try finding it, just wait...
Found the cell but it only says:
Can you change my username? - 363


Yes but it is just enough hassle that we'd ask you to really consider if it is vital. It can cause some confusion for people who have got used to you by another name.

I think that statement;

is true though don't you? We have all come to know and luv you as Yannah.
For me it was more simple, as you say, ppl were used to calling me Tao. I bet If I hadn't pointed it out it would take a while for ppl to notice.
The fact that the postcount gets reset diddn't bother me either, hides the fact that I'm a bit of a blather mouth.

[edit] to make the [quote] I didn't expext two more posts as I was writing this, i a slow typer too[/edit]

[This message has been edited by Tao (edited 03-30-2004).]

I was a slower typer too, but I got used to the keyboard and learnt the right way. Which is right anyway? all you have to do is know how to type, that's all.

Yes that's right, I'm used to calling you "Tao".
don't set out expectations without considering criticism. oh god, i don't even know what I'm talking about.

Deviations

You mean that Tao used to have a suffix?
I always thought it was Tao is as Tao does or something.
I've often wondered about nicks.
Buncha, where are you? Drac, are you there?
'Nax will be 'Nax and Izzay will be Izzay, I guess. Funny that.
I've tried being warjournal at other forums, but it just didn't feel right.
I've thought about changing my nick here, but that wouldn't feel right, either.

He used to have Taobaybee as his username.

Deviations

Just heard about the change Tao, and you've gotta tell me the truth- Did it hurt much?

That's why I use my real name, so I'm never going to want to change it.

You mean Tao isn't his real name....? I thought we all used real names here! I have to admit that I got a bit sneaky and spelled mine with a lowercase 'n' so I would be more difficult to track down.

lol, that is sneaky.

Happy graduation Tao!

I use my real name too. My friends call me "Perf." Sometimes people overhear it and think it's "perv," but you know what? They're right.

...um.

Veerry classy sig there Tao!

Thanks guys
Hardly hurt at all thanks norm, the anesthetic was optional, so we all had some, Nursey, Dr Nic "hi everybody" Riviera and myself.
The flag sig is not quite finished yet, if that is the one you meant Ian. I've spent over a month trying to get it right, and Mahjqa was a lifesaver pointing me in the right direction. I'm in the process of writing up the steps I took to make the animation, over Here in the "Big Sig" forum if anyone is interested.

Yep I use my real name too (or at least an alias which is the equivalent to my real name).

Little side story: My Dad was amused to find out (at his birthday meal) that my brother is known (at least to my friend's some of whom have known us ) as "The Emperor's Brother" and his girlfriend/partner is "The Emperor's Brother's Bird" I think he was just grateful he hasn't got a nickname
