I originally went with the same name but have been using this one now since it’s new and the idea of starting fresh appeals to me.
My initial thought was to reuse my existing name so others who already knew me might see that I’m here since we never communicated outside of the given subs we were apart of. I’m not sure how likely that would actually be though. It’s not as if I was anyone popular or well known. So, my thinking is I’ll stick with my new one and move on.
What have you chosen to do? Start fresh or carry your username over?
I use this UN basically everywhere. Here is no different.
Same. I’ve been justinh_tx for 20 years or more on just about every site/service that let’s you have an underscore in your username. If I can’t have an underscore I’m justinh512tx.
Replying to you. I’m brand new here and wondering how in the fuck do I leave a reply to the thread? The only reply button I see is for other comments not to the post.
The comment box is at the bottom of the stack of comments, so you have to scroll to almost the entire bottom of the page to start a parent comment.

I…uh, went with a classic.
New name for me. I figured what the hell, new community new name.
I decided on a totally new name. New place, new name
I even did a new email since I didn’t want my username tied to my primary one!
New name new email also. This is my first comment.
I was pretty hyped to snag “daddy”
New one. And i had an extremely scientific observational method for coming up with it.
Ditto
Completely new name, I had like, 10 reddit accounts, I’d make a new one every year to avoid anyone potentially stalking me
This is one of three nicks I use all over the web. One for social media, one for shooters, and one for MMOs.
So yeah, kept my /u/ from Reddit.
It was a chance to get the username I wanted. More importantly, I’m loving the more free use of profile pictures. I can actually recognise people visually now instead of everyone looking like much the same snoo.
Reused…but this time with all the vowels. I am here for no character limit. Or at least more characters than reddit allowed.
New one. My 13 year old account has a stupid name and got banned for absolutely nothing.
New one I wanted a something that would make me look like the “cream of the crop”
Ooh yeah!
New name. Old name was a wayy different me anyways
Yeah, my reddit name was way different. Ths name is the name I’ve been using on various other platforms for the past few years, so now my main usernames are similar.
I did not. Sometime last year I changed my username to this across all platforms, but Reddit wouldn’t let me change it.
I’m using a new one. I like a change!
