Just change it to something positive mate and forget about it.

This is a colorful place... I think someone probably will turn up with that name eventually! It would be like the Sexyboxer controversy all over again.

I PM'd back saying i'd look after the avatar and i'd think of something more positive for my nickname... Maybe I will go with Sunshine!! and have an avatar with candy and lollipops and rainbows..

I'm just think it's going to be a little bit tacky calling myself "MrSuccess" or something,,, even though it would probably do good logging in and MrSuccess every day...
I personally wouldn't have connected someone's avatar name, with the level of positivity & motivation on a forum, and some ie MOST Mods are total power hungry, control freak, turd munchers,,,, but I get where they are coming from... and certainly not going to kick up a fuss.

Sadly, from an observers perspective, most of my life probably IS best described as a Dizaster at the moment. So it's perfectly fitting, but perhaps not the image I need for myself...

RIGHT, SO be is THEN!

My job now is to think of a new name..!


I think a name change could be fun mate, a new beginning and a new way of seeing yourself.

What about something like Diligentz, i.e working diligently to reach your goals or go do a google search on a latin or native american language convert and find a cool sounding word that means something significant to you.

quaestio questio means seeking, searching / inquiry, investigation in Latin for example.

You could find what's native american or greek for journey, or quest, or maybe Tibetan for studying higher knowledge or something.

Give yourself a cool esoteric and mysterious name that means something important to you.













Or you could do what I did and think of the shortest, oldest, uncool fantasy character and name yourself after him
