Heh, are we (you ) automatically adding people to the group after they exceed a certain quota of struckout characters per day? 'Cuz that'd be awesome.
i kinda like the strike in my name. never seen it before on short media even in posts thats i've read from years ago. it goes well and hand in hand with my new/shortened name. i prefer to keep it like that. forever. 'cause really, that is so0o0o0o 1337.
wanna know if theres a way i can delete isiea268 from stanfords database. i mean i already submitted in finished wu's they just don't have to display my name with it.
anyways. got to start new someday. i wanna get my first cog first before i ditch the eggnog on this alias.
Stanford is too busy putting the research to actual good use to take the time to muck around with their database over matters like these. Many of us (including myself) Fold under names different than our forum name. I'd just leave it alone.
As for the Milestones, we honor members, not usernames. You'll get one per level achieved, regardless of what name it came under.
The question has come up before. I'd change mine if it was easily done. The thing to keep in mind is that with over 500,000 different users, Stanford would need a huge staff just for administrative changes like these. I'm sure you'll agree that it's better for them to focus their efforts on the science, rather than the stats.

actually its quite simple. i always thought of removing the 268 at the end of my name because the number made it seem unoriginal. i came up with the name isiea myself and i know i have an original username that was mine and i liked (i even googled isiea to make sure no one else had it and nothing came up). i just never had a "cue" to have it implemented on my names throughout the interweb. see now we have pilotwings who erm changed his name and so i lashed out and took the opportunity that was presented. during that time i got so excited i changed every one of my names from ebay to short-media and just started having too much fun....such that i overabused the strikeout tag and had my name 'struck out' for the next few days or so in the forum.
so there you go goat, thats how it all began. the flames just grew from there

You gotta admit. I was pretty creative with that one.

It's a highly technical issue.
I wish it was that.
by the way, yes for the short time here at short media i will enjoy my short strikeout usergroup name thank you. i'll have fun while it lasts.
and thrax, sometimes highly technical problems demand lowly technical solutions.
I'm going to go to my happy place and pretend that none of this ever happened. :bawling:
i'm going to unsubscribe from my name!

I think you're confusing people in here by talking about Work Units.
