My post count does. I was at a bar last night, and this chick wasn't paying me any attention, so I had one of my friends tell her what my post count was on ATOT. She instantly smiled and came over to talk to me. I had to send her home this morning though, before I went to work.

If you didn't have the H capitalized it's be a lot easier to read... or a hyphen or something...

Nope.

BTW, I could do it at any time. I changed it once already (Was "AmusedOne" because "Amused" was taken at the time)

If I want to change ANY of my preferences or profile settings I have to change my name. I don't want to, so I haven't. I've just been dealing with everything being three time zones away :)

No I wouldn't change my user name. But if someone came along and changed my post count to zero, I wouldn't notice. Nor would I care.

I've been nakedfrog (short form, full form is "naked frog with a mallet") for seven years now, I feel no need to change. The only reason my website isn't nakedfrog.com is because some jackass squatted on it for a few years, and then since I didn't keep checking, it got swooped up and is now gay porn :|

I wanted to for a while when every other thread I would make would be full of comments about my name, but I'm ok with it now.

I don't even like Jello, it was written on a "get well" card I saw earlier on the day I signed up, and I thought it was funny at the time.... yeah....

Hi time to nef.

My legs are starting to get sore. So is my arm, I shouldn't have gone bowling today. What a waste of 8 bucks. But it was fun (although I suck).

No. People know me as mobobuff, and as stupid and tacky of a name that it is... I wouldn't change it. It'd be like being a noob all over again... even though compared to old timers, a lot of us are still noobs.
