I've been around for about two weeks now and while I have well enjoyed my time on this site there is one thing I've seen that angers me. The "Rate My Username" topics. Why this bothers me is when you sign up you are given the opportunity to chose YOUR username. You are given this right for obvious reasons however beside those reasons you are being allowed to come up with a name that YOU like and want to be known by. So what I don't understand is why right after you've chosen your username would you ask us what we think of it? It was the name you chose and it should be the name you like correct? So why should you care whether we like or don't like it. Honestly most members probably don't care what your username is if your posts are useful and you at least try to help others. Most of the time when you make a topic asking to "Rate your username" the majority of those who reply probably don't even think about it and just post a random #/10 to boost their post count. Adding on to this, when people do rate a username all you see is 4/10, or 1/10. And the reason given, "not even close to OG". First of all, enough with this idea of OGs. Most of the time the user asking does not have an original username and did not ask you to rate it as one. Second, if someone has numbers in their name or XxZzo or whatever it may be if they like it then why would you tell them it is horrible or unoriginal. Because one, it's not your name it's theirs, and two it is original they made it.

What I'm really trying to say is, for those asking if we like your username, it only matters if you do. And for those replying, not everyone wants to or cares to have an "Original" tag. Also, while their name might not mean anything to you it might to them. Don't get me wrong, I prefer one word usernames and gamertags without any extra letters or numbers. But you have to realize, not everyone else does.

You can agree or disagree with me, those are just my thoughts.

If you struggle with finding a name you like, or really want an OG name PM me and I'll do my best to help you find one. But if you like your name, keep it, no matter what others say.

Nice topic, shame people get to you like this, they don't for me.

I quite like the fact of OG Usernames/Gamertags, I think I have an OCD with it

Anyways, glad your sharing your thoughts.
