Username change

Kitteh · Mar 2011

Well, as you can plainly see, Kitteh is a pretty stupid ass username. I'd like to change my username to gabester. I've sent PMs to administrators and stuff about this before and not gotten any response, so I figured maybe I'd get a yes/no if I made a thread. I want to change it for professional reasons too, I go by gabester on a lot of other forums and my name is Gabe, so I wanna make sure people know I'm me.

conte · Mar 2011

but why, Kitteh is such a cute nickname!

disanski · Mar 2011

I love Kitteh too

Stinger88 · Mar 2011

Are you sure you don't want "The Gabester" (with twin guns action in person). Sounds much more professional :P

XenoKratios · Mar 2011

HI KITTEH!

Puppeh · Mar 2011

agreed with Kitteh, its a bit silly name for a professional.

glottis8 · Mar 2011

you should make a poll to see what the general polycounters would like better. My vote stays with Kitteh...but if you wanna be more fierce, you could be "EL kitteh".

Wahlgren · Mar 2011

You will now forever be known as Kitteh! Rise Sir Kitteh of purr and join the polycount army!

conte · Mar 2011

meow ^.^

greevar · Mar 2011

How about "Kitteh in Galoshes"?

Noors · Mar 2011

My steam nick is "puppies", and people like it

Joshua Stubbles · Mar 2011

You have to get down and do a dirty favor for one of the admins. See, I used to be called Vassago, but I ble- oh wait, TMI. ;P

whats_true · Mar 2011

"gabester" is a pretty stupid name. Id keep Kitteh.

HitmonInfinity · Mar 2011

Put up a funny cat avatar to go with the name. You can't back out now.

glottis8 · Mar 2011

EDIT: You could totally use this website http://placekitten.com/

It's our programmers favorite place to get place holder art haha

r_fletch_r · Mar 2011

ENODMI · Mar 2011

MOW!

EVIL · Mar 2011

I love kitteh, are you a kitteh hater?

xXm0RpH3usXx · Mar 2011

maybe "el kitteh diablo"?
gabester isnt better imo...

EVIL · Mar 2011

anyway, kitteh isnt bad, its better then gabester or theЯapist

Mark Dygert · Mar 2011

On a side note I had/have a wow character called Kitah and since you haven't produced an avatar for me to associate a name with you're now a little female gnome mage wearing a purple dress and a pink beehive hairdo...

You run around with another little gnome (lorbert) talking about how the bank in stormwind swindled you out of all your money in a ponzi scheme. You create mechanical squirrels in hopes of digging into the vault to get your money back. You try to recruit other people but Lorbert is your only friend... People think you're crazy...

Sorry but this is what happens when you don't come up with an avatar...

Pseudo · Mar 2011

This thread was worth it to spread the good word of www.placekitten.com

ScoobyDoofus · Mar 2011

Maybe change it to Pusseh?
Seriously though, Gabester isn't nearly as cool as Kitteh.

thus says Morpheus.. lol

MartinH · Mar 2011

does anyone actually call you gabester?

Joopson · Mar 2011

Kitteh is a cool name. Very unique. Gabester just sounds generic- like everyone named Gabe ever has been called that at least 8 times each day.

this made my day.

Props to whoever had the idea to do that.:)

disanski · Mar 2011

I rushed back home from the bar to see how this was going

So what did you decide?

Are you going to keep it?

Muzzoid · Mar 2011

Ruz · Mar 2011

I think Gabester is ok man, go for it

D4V1DC · Mar 2011

Go gaba gaba!

Purplepaint · Mar 2011

I 2nd pusseh

Makkon · Mar 2011

I'd remember you for your name Kitteh.
But gabester? Who is that? He does art? Never seen any of his stuff.

Sean VanGorder · Jul 2011

You'll have to contact a mod and they'll do it for you.

one serious question..how can we actually change our username if we want to?

its unlikely you'll be allowed. most forums don't allow it. so long as your names readable just stick with it. the way you act and the art you make will define you not some shitty internet nickname

I also doubt mods will want anything to do with this. Once one person gets the change lots of others will start asking.

Ben Apuna · Jul 2011

I think I've seen a more than a few people change their usernames over the past year or two(?).

I'm thinking it's not a major problem, maybe just an inconvenience for the mods...

Ace-Angel · Jul 2011

You should have directly asked the Mods, it would have saved alot of time.

Also, what's wrong with Kitteh? Can't you just name yourself Kit instead when saying people you're on PC?

"Yeah, my username is Kitteh, but friends call me Kit".

Kot_Leopold · Jul 2011

What's wrong with your username? I have "Kot" in mine which stands for a "cat" in Russian. I don't mind it at all; it is sort of unique, too. Besides, a username and an avatar won't get you noticed. What will, though, is the kind of art you produce as well as your attitude towards other artists.

xXm0RpH3usXx · Jul 2011

"Kot" in german means "poo" interesting that that means cat in russian...

Lmao that's nice to know. Well, "kot" stands for a male version of a cat in russian. There's also "koshka" which is a female cat, and "kotyonok" which is a baby cat.

sneakymcfox · Jul 2011

I thought Koshka(кошка) was Russian for cat?

EDIT:beat me to it

LOLOL I grazed right over this the first time. Hilarious.

Seriously though, This is an industry where people can say, "oh yea...I saw that sweet tutorial from 'Poop in my Mouth.'

Of course, Gabester or Kitteh...doesn't make a huge difference...but I like Kittys

Gabester sounds like a frat guy's name.
