Please, call me Matt.

Hey admins,

I have changed my username a couple of times, paying the $25.00 fee each time.

I remember when I changed my username to Matthew Sayle, I really wanted it to be Matt Sayle because that's what I go by - but it appeared to be taken at the time.

I had already spent the $25.00 before realizing this - so I went ahead and settled with Matthew, and didn't think much of it.

Now, every day I am being referred to as Matthew. I know it's not a big deal, but it bugs me.

I look forward to logging into Digital Point every day. I really enjoy it here - I just wish I could change that one thing (ok, maybe a few others but I'll pick my battles).

I have searched for this Matt Sayle character and can't find him. I know there is a popular celebrity photographer in the UK by the same name - could be an old account from him that's now been deleted.

Anyway, can you check on the availability of Matt Sayle? I know it costs $25.00, but maybe you could just chop a few letters off the end on the house, since I paid before with the intent of having Matt Sayle?

Thanks in advance

 

Hi Matt, I would address you as Matt next time if I remember.

 

Yea! "Matt" looks cool. Matthew is also cool but no! Who wants a long name?

The admins would be of help.

 

Hey! I must have created it way back in the day.

Any chance of deleting it and giving me the name?

I am a very unorganized person, which I'm working on. I hope you don't think I was trying to get over on anyone

 

Shoot! I do believe that this thread has landed you into a hole that you can't dig yourself out of. But at least I for one, will call you Matt. (hope it was all worth it)

 

A hole I can't dig myself out of?

A little extreme, no?

 

Well, if you don't get banned, lol, change your status line to Call me Matt.

 

I doubt I will get banned. There was no intent to deceive anyone, which is why the rule was created in the first place.

It's a simple mistake that anyone could have made. With the billions of websites out there, it happens.

 

Perhaps, but I'd be "buttering up" the mods right about now.

 

I think my thousands of highly valuable posts are buttering up enough.

I contribute to dozens of areas on Digital Point and help out hundreds of members.

Only a fool would ban someone over a simple mistake.

 

On this we do agree.

 

I still have to work, right?

This is a part of that.

 

I really appreciate that.

Any way to take over that old username?

 

Cha-ching!

 

I know the feeling. Whenever I get reffered to as "matthew" I shudder.
