Please choose your user name carefully.

For anyone who's thinking about registering to participate on TheSkiDiva.com, I have a bit of advice:

Please choose your user name carefully.

You only get one shot; user names can not be changed after registration. It's too confusing if someone signs up with one name, then later decides they want to be known as something else. People won't be able to keep track of who's posting what, so in the interest of keeping everyone straight, we have to be a bit hard line.

There are some user names that are unacceptable: a user name that represents a business, organization, group, blog, or other website, for example. Or one that's offensive or obscene. Also, if you don't want your real name out there, please don't use it when you register.

I guess what it all comes down to is this: Think long and hard about your user name when you register and choose it carefully. It's yours for the duration.

I like the creative names, like @tinymoose . There's a story behind it, just waiting to get told.

Mine is a very old, geeky nickname ;) I use it on most forums :P

I would have changed mine to ski mouse the week after I registered in 2008, and many of you address me as that anyway, but the policy had just changed to the above way back then...
