Smile I'm open for suggestions / looking for a new user name

I realize "Villages PL" was not a good choice because there are too many people with "Villages" in their name. But I keep changing my mind about what name I should choose. I was thinking about "Food Police" but got cold feet on that one. Then I thought about "Your Majesty". I have another one in mind that I won't disclose at this time.

What's the maximum number of letters and spaces I can use? And how would I go about changing my name? Who do I ask? How do I get there? And would I get to keep my total number of posts?

You only have to contact the Admin to change your username...not a big deal.

I'd go with "FoodCop"

I tried to get a vanity license plate that said "NO TAG" but the DMV wouldn't issue it.
So it's all yours to use.

Skip

This way I'd either never get a parking ticket - or - get everyone elses that had no tag on their car.

"vpldude formally know as Villages PL" should do it. Everybody will remember you and it will resolve your gender identity problem to boot!

What's your hobby or burning desire. I like to fix things, and 'tinker' mostly with old cars and electronics, hence villagetinker. Just a thought.

What does PL stand for How about just using that? Or VPL, which is how a lot of people refer to you.

Pick a name that has meaning to you and you won't forget. Something that you and you alone like.

Everyone else can adapt. It should be no big deal for the admin as you will keep your number of posts.

Go to the bottom of the home page and use the "contact Us" icon. That will get you to the admin.

I am "2BNTV" and several people have asked me to change it to, "IMNTV".

I like it the way it is and won't change it but that's just me. :smiley"

With over 3,000 posts, I think we all recognize you by now as Villages PL! However if you do decide you need to change your moniker, MEMason's suggestion of "foodcop" seems to fit. Or maybe take DoubB's suggestion of "healthNUT".
