Can someone change my username please?

Google matches it with this site and I would like this site to be private.

My new username would be: streetballer

Thanks guys, I don't know where I have to post this.

Thank you both Lightning and Dld. I greatly appreciate you both.

Never a problem in the Brotherhood!
 
While changing stuff, can someone change DLD's rep from "10" to something more realistic ... like 700?

Something about the system has to be broken..

With respect for any dedication and contribution, there are gangs of relative newbs .. like only back to last August, running around high-fiving each other every other time they post something, who have "17's", (much love, as a contrast just sayin') , -- and then there's people still on the rolls with 39 posts ever, and nothing in the last ten years, who have "13's" ... but DLD is somehow locked out at "10", wtf.

There is definitely a metric for auto-adding rep for length (and width? ;) lol) of membership .. for venerableness [commanding respect because of great age or impressive dignity; worthy of veneration or reverence, because of high office or noble character] .. but while this works for other members it -also- doesn't work for Mike.

Like eight or nine years ago I thought "10" was as high as anyone could ever go, cos that's what DLD was at.

And this much later he's still there.

That's across a twelve year active history, of more than 73,000 posts, by someone whom everybody reveres, and who who pretty much owns the PE field. C'mon, seriously, something's broken.

I saw a thread on this somewhere a few weeks ago, 'been noticing this kind of stuff ever since that, but never got back to it and it's clearly not been resolved. Can it be?
 
Had a thought ...

It's not a competition, it's just a matter of righting something that's inequitably messed up,

.. so if nothing else, how about just setting his rep from "10" to "DLD" ..? Fixing it, in a sense, by making it self-explanatory. :cool:
 
According to my Google password manager, my account was hacked by bigc779!! Must be someone trying to access my videos. All gave been deleted.

What name do you want me to change your account to?
 
I don't want to change my username. Whoever the person with the username bigc779 tried to hack my Google drive account!!

hack how? BigC was in charge of our fulfillment department but he recently died. I’m not sure how somebody would use his account in that way. But just to be sure I will go in and change the password for his account. I suggest you change your password also. Such a strange thing I have no idea how this happened but it hope it didn’t cause you too much harm
 
I have no idea either but my account was compromised. Somehow my username was changed from beared baldy to bigc779 and a password change for that name. Google password manager flagged this activity and warned me. I have no idea why a person would do this other than trying to access my Google drive account. Regardless of the reason its not acceptable. This leaves a very foul taste seeing as I left this forum in 2018 after a dispute with huge girth. I will attach a screenshot with proof of activity on Google password manager.

bugc no longer here. Be sure to change your password. If you want a name change I can do that also.
 
I understand that he's no longer with us which is a shame. My concern is that someone from this site managed to acces my account even though I have a 15 digit password with upper and lower case with numbers??? . I feel they did so to get access to my videos that where on my Google account. I may be wrong but it's the only reason I can come up with. I still to this day receive emails to access my training videos even though all where deleted when I left this forum. Where my videos that benificial for someone to do this? It certainly worries me about being part of this forum again. Security is massive for any site never mind one as personal as this.

Lightning and myself are the only ones that can get into someone’s account. I only go into someone’s account when they give me permission for name changes or email changes. Someone from outside must’ve hacked it for some reason. But I can tell you we had nothing to do with it. If you desire I can erase your entire account, change your name, put a new password in place. Let me know how I can help you my brother and I’ll do what you need done
