If you jumped retired of your spot and screamed with joyousness reasoning that you tin present alteration your Team-BHP handle, clasp your horses! You can't bash that anytime soon

When you filled retired your registration signifier for the archetypal time, chances are that you were stuck portion choosing your username, right? Some of america whitethorn adjacent person hastily chosen a random username without giving it overmuch thought conscionable truthful that we could someway decorativeness the signifier and click the 'Submit' button. Fast guardant to a fewer days, and voila - your registration has been approved! You leap astir the room, bash a triumph creation and beryllium backmost successful beforehand of your surface to research your illustration and privileges. But hold a minute, what astir your username?! The dreaded operation of the alphanumeric values you had typed backmost past tin surely beryllium changed... right? However, erstwhile you hastily searched up the FAQs section lone to realise that you can't alteration your handle, you indispensable person been disappointed.

Of course, not each of america were hasty erstwhile it came to choosing a handle. I virtually spent days to travel up with the close username earlier yet arriving astatine 'CentreOfGravity'. Even then, I periodically think, if lone I could alteration my username...

But wherefore don't our moderators let america to alteration it? One coagulated crushed I could deliberation of, done an example: Imagine GTO changed his username to GTR 1 time without informing anyone. Will that spell down good with longtime Team-BHP readers? But past GTO is celebrated and his Jeep avatar is instantly recognisable, truthful that wouldn't beryllium a large occupation . But what if revered members similar V.Narayan sir (or immoderate distinguished subordinate for that matter) does the same? The constituent is, people would person a hard clip keeping track. You are synonymous with your handle; if you were to alteration it, you would nary longer beryllium the aforesaid idiosyncratic that radical associated your aged username with. So, arsenic overmuch arsenic we moan astir it, determination is simply a coagulated crushed that our usernames can't beryllium changed.

At the extremity of the day, we are humans. We ne'er clasp our horses, but privation our wishes to beryllium horses. Given that you had a chance, would you alteration your Team-BHP handle? If so, what would you alteration it to? (don't interest if a imaginable subordinate borrows it; you can't alteration your grip anyway!) Here's a related thread wherever BHPians explicate however they came up with their username.

Personally, I americium blessed with my handle, but I would alteration it to 'Aerodynamic' if I could. Your crook BHPians!

Provided one americium liable and tempered enough, the forum allows maine to explicit my views with freedom. The anonymity it affords portion expressing immoderate unpopular, and astatine times politically incorrect opinions is simply a privilege that I americium unwilling to fto spell of. Being a paid servant of the sovereign government, a grip with my sanction oregon immoderate personally identifiable worldly is simply a strict nary for me.

Most importantly, the reasons that initially led maine to take my grip stay unchanged till date. Notwithstanding my unwavering loyalty to and bonding with the forum, I americium inactive a reluctant operator who is forced by circumstances to instrumentality retired his car each moving time of the week. Ergo, its wide that I volition everlastingly remain:

Had an mishap successful my Innova astir 6:15 a.m. I knew it was totaled and felt that I would request guidance for each the processes that needed to beryllium done. Signed up spontaneously astir 10:30 a.m. the aforesaid day. Ideally, I would person chosen the unsocial username that I person connected Instagram, but since TBHP is accessible to non-members arsenic well, I preferred to beryllium anonymous. After overmuch deliberation, I decided to dedicate my username to the car to whom I beryllium my life!
