Either way welcome/back. If I changed my name for security/peace of mind/comfort I sure as hell wouldn't tell anyone my old name. That entirely defeats the purpose. I appreciate the fact that you posted this bc had you not, I guarantee people would have called you out for knowing too much or asking too much or being "new". At least now we know you're from around here and not to be suspicious if you post frequently. Basically your damned if you do, damned if you don't.
And really. If we want to make things super twisted, OP could have been a troll before, we still trusted her and she decided to make a new SN. None of it matters.
I guess I'm just saying that if i felt u comfortable keeping my SN, and went through the trouble of making a new one and having my history wiped, why on earth would i want to come back and hand out my old name?

Married my best friend 7/2/11 - Furbaby born 7/9/11
and brought into our home 9/1/11
BFP#1: 2/2/13 ~ exact m/c date unknown but
around 3/20 at 10 weeks ~ diagnosed with PMP ~ D&C on 4/5 ~ TTA for at
least 1 year due to PMP ~ cleared to TTC 1/14
BFP#2: 2/7/14 ~ m/c 2/20/14 ~ possibly due
to chemical pregnancy ~ TG no D&C is needed
Surprise BFP#3: 4/4/14 ~ super duper extra happy
(and nervous) about this one - EDD 12/9/14!!!
John Joseph was born on 12/12/14 at 7 lbs. 11 oz. He is the most beautiful rainbow baby we could have wished for!
@LadyThrice this coming from someone who posted a link to everyone's private info just yesterday. How nice of you to receive forgiveness and point a finger at me.
WOW. Really fucking rude.
You said this statement wasn't intended to be mean, but how can it not be interpreted as so? Did you even read all the threads that included information about the leak that was entirely accidental and not at all @ladythrice's fault?!
With all the drama that has gone on lately, you being a newb claiming to be a regular that won't tell anyone your old sn, is far more of a red flag than a very accidental mistake. I wouldn't come here, expecting a warm welcome when you start pointing fingers and creating drama.

So what do you expect people to ask when someone posts a thread saying "hi, I have always posted here, but here I am with a name you don't recognize"?
QBF--------//------------ I'd expect some of what was posted above but for several people to ask for a PM to tell them who OP is just seems a little extreme. I understand the curiosity but if she had to PM everyone it would defeat the purpose of changing her name.
Besides...she gave two VERY telling "hints" that made it incredibly easy for me to see what her old SN was. So...it shouldn't be that hard without bugging her for it.

@bvsbabymomma I gave you a huge hint in PM not the whole SN. But like I said I got tired of being called a Creeper. And thank you @perfectlove09 for recognizing me from my hints. Some still think I'm a creep but I care no more. And if someone didn't read my two sorries go back re-read and back off.
@JunkieBrewster The thought crosses my mind whenever there's a new batch of posters, but the crazy always comes out eventually. Unless someone has a personality transplant, I'm pretty confident we'd figure it out.
Pretty much. People come and go, and there are likely going to be new and questionable posts. Eventually trolls and trouble makers get outed, and on their way they go.

This makes me not want to make a reintro thread. Maybe the mystery will make me sexier.
Welcome back! Sorry I dont know who you are, and you probably dont know me. We meet for the first time again! The joys of the internet.
@Pinklepop, I could make some very good assumptions as to who you are. You have a ton of badges, which gives credence to your activity level and, above all else, I recognize your siggy.
Now I could be completely wrong and you could still be a suspicious character, but the fact that those two things exist give me more of a comfort level. I'm pretty sure I know what your old SN was! Well... I'd recognize it anyways. My memory sucks
Agree about how keeping your siggy definitely made you recognizeable even if we couldn't remember your SN. But then on top of that you gave very very obvious clues for us to guess your former SN. You were easy

But again, like pinklepop, you too kept your siggy making you recognizable and even more so by keeping your avatar. I honestly hadn't realized you had changed your SN @perfectlove09at all... I guess because I always associated you with the cute pic of your little girl as your avatar
@bvsbabymomma I gave you a huge hint in PM not the whole SN. But like I said I got tired of being called a Creeper. And thank you @perfectlove09 for recognizing me from my hints. Some still think I'm a creep but I care no more. And if someone didn't read my two sorries go back re-read and back off.
I can't help but feel like if you were around here a lot and posting/reading regularly, you'd know that our #1 reply to statements like the bolded one is, "You can't dictate how we react/reply to posts."
With everything that has happened here over the last little while, I don't blame anyone for being suspicious.
Exactly this.
I read every single post on this thread. You attempted to apologize a couple different times. That doesn't make your statement any less douchey. It also doesn't mean that I won't take offense.
BFP #1 5/12/12; EDD 1/20/13; Eliana Grace born 1/25/13
@krystrist2014 thank you she is pretty cute. But I think you misunderstood. I haven't changed my SN in over 4 years. I was forced to a long time ago bc of someone harassing myself and some others on another board.
@bvsbabymomma I'm not bothered by it. I was just pointing out that I wouldn't want ppl asking me for PM's after I just got done saying "I changed my name for comfort purposes". It seemed as though people were getting mad at her for not just saying who she formally was. I was letting her know that I agree with her if she didn't feel comfortable giving that information out. It's perfectly ok for us to feel differently about this.

Oh! Lol. Sorry about that! Clearly I have reading comprehension problems :P
It's ok, I'm not someone you wanna associate with given all the flaming anyways. I used to be a nice person, I had a bad day yesterday, and now I've developed a bad rep. Now I'm afraid to post anything, either I'll be perceived as a creep or have people come just to be mean.

I might have missed it but I didn't see an actual apology for the uncalled for comment to @LadyThrice...I get having a bad day but the self pity party is getting old. You have a lot of ladies welcoming you back and you choose to focus on how the rest make you feel like you can't post? Seriously, it prob would have gone a lot better if you 1) didn't go into the pity party about not being remembered and 2) actually apologized for the nasty comment. Instead, you choose to feel bad for yourself again about how people are just trying to be mean.
News flash, i did think the clues were a little vague but would have happily rolled with it were it not for the way you choose to handle the comments. I don't know who you were before but you didn't "develop a bad rep" based on one thing...it was a culmination of repeated actions that is now setting your rep. You can probably still turn it around but let's knock off the woe-is-me talk, that would go a long way for starters.
This makes me not want to make a reintro thread. Maybe the mystery will make me sexier.

I'm definitely suspicious! :P Yeah I really just felt that I needed to change my name after the emails were released, and was really glad they were able to wipe my post history. I'm gonna be more careful this time around about the info I give out in my posts. I know the BC people were probably just trolling, but I have a little one on the way to protect! I think a lot of us just felt like we needed to change. What with BC drama, not having a mod, and the email mix up. I was going to ask to have my account deleted like OP, but I found out we could keep our Loves and such by just changing the name and asking for the post history wipe. The siggy is probably my biggest clue, so I'm sure you know me!
@pinklepop you can do that? If they wipe your post history do you then become ungoogleable as far as your old SN is concerned? What happens to all of your old posts in that case? I need to learn more about how the bump works...

I'm sure my old sn is probably in some sort of cache thing. Nothing on the internet really goes away. But it makes it harder. My old posts are all gone.
SO GUIZE, I used to go here. I am not telling you who I am, but you should recognize e by my vague description of my old avatar, on a forum with the smallest avatar known to man that most people don't look at, a signature that is really generic because everyone has tickers, IF YOU'RE NOT MOBILE AND CAN EVEN SEE MY SIGGY and now I am mad because no one knows who I am and is taking the things I am saying wrong when we're all supposed to be old pals.
You may be emo about it, but it shouldnt be surprising.
@leosmom25 so are you encouraging her to add sex toys to the conversation? I feel like that would make this whole thread more awkward than the sexy intro thread.
Well shit, it might give it something!
