When you consider the vast membership that Bubblews had and how much material was actually posted there each day, it is not unreasonable that someone could have been there a long time without some of us ever noticing.

My account name here is different because I was a member many years ago and didn't make a new account. I haven't decided if that was a mistake or not. But my photo is the same as my other sites, so I think I am recognizable.

I keep my pen name, but not necessarily the same photo. I try to always be on the lookout for people I know, but lately a lot of people are changing up their names. Sometimes for good, sometimes just temporarily. I get confused there.

Yes I look at where they are from and that sometimes triggers a memory but it isn't always easy.

I hate when people change their photo. Because it is easier for me to remember the picture instead of the name.

I have a couple of avatars. A summer and winter one. I just changed to the winter face. I use my real name. Sometimes sites let you have a space between the first and last names and others don't. That's about the only difference.

I have not changed my avatar for some time, although I did have the habit of using seasonal ones in the past. I will probably revert to doing so again now that I am back at Mylot.

My name is the same in almost all writing sites.. Here you cannot have a user name with less than 6 characters, hence I had to use two additional characters. I use this names on sites which have these restrictions.

@BelleStarr I think so too. Most of the people from the B site have kept their name in one way or another but there are some that I didn't know who they were until they told me.
