Seriously!

I'm tired of seeing a reply by "XYZ" and this member has 9,343 posts, joined in "Oct 1999" and I've never seen their nick before. I think it's bulllzshit.

Anoniminity is one thing...but this is another. I propose the following:

If an Anandtech Member has had a nick for more than one year, than it's obligatory that a name change warrant an entry in the above proposed stickied thread.

Anyone with me?

Probably would be easier if the mods denied all name change requests.:p

Then again, do you really know who I used to be?;)

Yeah, that was the straw that broke the camels' back...I'll admit that much.

AFA name changes go, it's strictly a "buddy thing." If you're a "bud of Mod" then you're in there like swimwear...no different than a government or city job.

It doesn't necessarily have to be here. It can be stickied in Forum Issues.

But i don't see what's the big deal if a person has 1 post or 10k posts.

agreed, sounds like another useless thread idea to me; i certainly dont pay attention to names/# of posts regularly. only in longer threads where an actual discussion is taking place

and we all know that doesnt happen too often here ;)
