So, under the observation that I may or may not have noticed the nice new feature that DA has just added.... I'm going to go into some pros and cons to why I may or may not like this feature.
I guess the main pro to this would be the ability to change your username if you had it as something you didn't really like before, accidentally made a spelling error on it, or made a long time ago but want it changed now. So in that perspective I can see how it would be very useful and how many people would like it.
Now, the con may only apply to me in this situation, but I'm not really sure. But, on my watch list there are several people who do what I like to call "Account jumping" basically, they jump from one account to another every few months or so for absolutely no good reason! Now, I'm not pointing any fingers, but I will say this. Most of the time it's because of their username. That they liked it when they made it but have suddenly become bored, dislike, or have something against what ever it is now. So they move accounts. Now, you might be asking what my problem with this is... I CANNOT remember every new account name they come up with!! So how on EARTH am I going to rememebr who they are if they change their user name every five minutes like I know they're planning on doing? I've already seen a massive portion of the people I watch change their usernames to things that I am possitive i will NEVER be able to remember! So I'm stuck in a general abbys about who is who now. This is the EXACT same problem i have with Skype! i used to have a ton of people I knew on there, now I can't remember who anyone is because they change their name every five seconds.
I suppose this just people that I'm going to be stuck not knowing who anyone is. Maybe that's for the better? I suppose I should concentrate less on who they are and mroe on their artwork? But some of them are people I actually enjoy talking to on a regular basis and would like to remember who they are so I don't have to go searching for their new names every time I want to talk to them. *sigh* oh well. Looks like I'm stuck.
Needless to say i will not be changing my username. I see no reason to. I've had it since my very first day on DA and I plan to keep it until my last, whenever that may be. =w=
