    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 :)

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

    The admins would be of help.

    It's taken, if that's what you are asking. You can search for any username in the search box here btw.

    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?

    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.

    I'm left wondering if you are human.
    3 kids, one is only days old and you have the mental energy to be worried about your username?

    I still have to work, right?

    This is a part of that.

    I really appreciate that.

    Any way to take over that old username?

    I'm guessing that Matthew falls into the same category?
