I thought we had a rule about this, but I can't remember it so I'll just make up a new one.

Yes you can change your name, but everybody only gets 1 change, and they have to be super sure. So, LMK if you're definitely on board and it's yours.

I remember us floating that idea last year, but do not recall if it was formally adopted.

Well, as you can all see, I went for it and JT approved it. Although you can all still call me TT or Trek or trekkie or whatever, much like we do with AU even though he goes by Misanthrope Prime now. And I answer to pretty much anything anyway.

Yeah, I've gone by many names over the years. I was even known as Spiderman at one point.

I wanna be Miles Hasselhoff!

That's a joke nobody will get.

That sounds familiar, but I'm drawing a blank as to where it's from.

It shouldn't be from anything, at least as far as I know.

Several years ago, I was a mod at another forum, and one day the admin decided that all the mods and admins would get fake names. I forget what anyone else's was, but I ended up with Miles Hasselhoff.

After about a week, he changes everyone back, except for me. I ended up being Miles Hasselhoff for like two months.

All I can think of is Knight Rider starring David Hasselhoff and co-staring Edward Mulhare as his boss, Devon Miles.
