How does one change their "name"?

i would like to change my site name to something less motorcycle oriented...  Is there an admin that can be contacted to do so?

    One does not change their name.  One makes another account.

    One has to be careful when selecting a name.

    Very true.  Wolverinespoon does not have the same ring.

    ...and creating an account name of Noob or such doesn't instill confidence one will progress or plan on staying on the forum.

    :)  I was under the impression that you can only change your name after you piss off a bunch of people?  Also, once you do, it's imperative that you reply to every single comment so your post # goes up and you can establish your street cred...

    Piss the Buffalo off bad enough and you will have no option other than changing your name :D

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    You likely know, but just a caution against the practice of reusing passwords. A lot of us do it for convenience, but it's risky. In the event of a breach, having obtained your credentials, a lot of unauthorized third parties will simply try your email address and password across other properties, sometimes with great success. In these circumstances, as the subject individual whose info was compromised, it is often very hard, if not impossible, to trace back where the initial breach occurred.

    This is why an organization's encryption of passwords is so important. This way, if your info is compromised, it's still unlikely the third party will decrypt your password, to be used elsewhere.

    It's actually quite easy to be resurrected under a new name.  Folks here do it all the time.
    I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way.

    First, change your signature to tell readers what your new name is going to be.
    After a while, when you "reveal" your new moniker, put something in your sig line to reflect who you "used" to be.  Keep the same picture so we'll know.... come to think of it, the picture is vital... most familiar members here I identify by picture, not name.

    What are you thinking of changing to?

    You fill a ridiculously cool Growler with a habenero laced beer and share it with brethren.  And then ask someone who knows the answer.  Enjoyed meeting you along with @possumtrot this weekend!  Nice times brother.

    This is exactly what I'm getting at. A lot of breaches of innocuous sites like message boards can then lead to much more significant consequences when those compromised credentials are then tried against other properties (which can then have financial implications).

    Sorry I'm geeking out. Breaches are a bit of a passion of mine.
