"Toasted legs from side pipes" Is that alright Brent.
No ,only joking as Our friend may not see the funny side of that...
Think that would be a bit long for a user name. I could see yours as "broken record" that would be shorter, "Toasted legs from side pipes" would be to long.

1bad32 changing that you would loose you old post, pictures could be replaced cause you have those files. Changing a username and keeping your post would require some fancy software foot work, hacking would be another term.
But you never know depends on the application being used, my guess is the answer will be negative.
Gotta be easier than a tattoo with the wrong girl's name on it.
" Broken Record " would be an excellent name for me as I am caregiver for my Mum who has Dementia and by the end of the night,I'm so tired of repeating everything, I feel I am a " broken record " So, mate, all is good in the name calling business.

Whiplash23T will always be "Whip" to me, even if he sells the T and builds something else at some point - sorry Whip, I can't think of you as "Broken Record", but having dealt with that dementia monster with my Mom I truly feel your pain. I guess no one asked for opinions on this, but I don't see the value of switching UserNames with the winds. Seems like a lot of work for Brent with little or no value to anyone, other than creating confusion. Anyone else remember Don's story of how he got tagged with "Itoldyouso"? :LOL::LOL::LOL:Quote:

No the T Bucket will never be sold so I'm happy with Whip. IToldyouso came about when he was Donshotrods and due to having hassles with that name changed to Itoldyouso. I think from memory that is the story behind Don's name. On the Hamb he is known as Donshotrods. and his building of his A Roadster pickup is moving along real good.
Roger, maybe George is just going through an identity crisis. :cool: Since he's changed his gorgeous Bad '32 with the new pipes and the upcoming Killer Paint (no pun intended) real flames from the Washington state flame master himself, it's time for a fresh start. :toocool: When I had traditional hot rod flames painted on my Harley Springer many years ago, the better half gave me a new nickname, Flaming Idiot. It's all good. :LOL:Quote:

Don complained, but the problems were selective, for a while... I think his DonsHotRods account got "lost", and he went in and started a new account, using "IToldyouso" as his name out of spite. Problem is it established his new name, and the easy fix was to roll his old data into that new name - the software was unforgiving, as I understand. Might not be 100% but it's what I gleaned.
:LOL::LOL::LOL: Mike, I've never met Terry, but I can all but hear her saying that!! "...messed up a perfectly beautiful bike!! Flaming Idiot!!:LOL::LOL:;)"Quote:

Can't disagree, Pat, but Don's not the only guy who has made the choice to spend their 'puter time in another locale and there's not much anyone can do about it. Life goes on, right?Quote:

I troll through some other forums occasionally, just to see what's going on, but very seldom do I post on others. Just my choice.Quote:

Change My User name??
I've tried to contact the "mods',,but nobody's Home??
Thanks
To my knowledge it's never been done on this forum. You would have to register under a different user name which has happened to a couple of old timers, IC2 in particular.
Thank You!
Did you check the older thread you started on the same subject????
Yeah, I gotta agree. Brent replied to you before,Quote:
