Matt H Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 How do you get on when phoning up a trader etc from the site? When you PM a trader, then for instance follow up with a phone call, your have to let the other person on the end of the phone know who you are. I used to always say, “Hi its matt from the supra club, and 9/10 you get,…….matt……. then you say “Matt H”, for which they click as that’s the person they have been talking to via PM or something. I couldn’t imagine for the life of me ringing up and saying (for example) “hi, its supra orgasm here from the supra club”. Lol, I’d feel like such a bell. But those with silly user names must have to do this? How do you get on? Can you get around having to use your user name for which everyone affiliates you to?

keancy Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have no problem with giving my name lol. It's made up of mine and my kids names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 This is why I avoided the whole issue. I used to walk up to people and say, "Hi I'm errrr... Rogue...errr Pete...Errr.." and they'd say something like "Hi I'm Supra Racer Nut Job" or similar. All very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Lol, just being going down the new posts lists and having a giggle about phoning up and say, "hi, its...xxx" would make a good reality t.v show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have no problem with giving my name lol. It's made up of mine and my kids names yours seems like it could actually be a first name so its not that bad.... but something like, supra big cheese surfer, would love to hear someone introduce themselves on the end of the phone trying to be all serious in the process, as you do when you talk to someone for the first time!!

p111ddy Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I cant stand mine tbh but my first name was already taken (Michael) & my surname wouldn't register even though I've not seen anyone on here with the name Power??? So I had to stick my old nickname from school. Is a pain when calling or meeting new people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I just used my initials but didn't really know what I was doing when I registered as never been on a forum before this one and do wish it was just my name now. Never mind too late now and I have got used to it and its my number plate as well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Mine used to be SupaSupraGZ, but it was awkward at meets (JAE) and when ordering on the phone too, so after the first year I just changed it to my name. So much easier for everything, and for every forum I've joined since. No one seems to have that name, even AOL! Nice and simple. Hoff - You can request a mod (Mawby) to change your username for you, but watch what you then choose, as we don't want another 'KittyClaws' showdown again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
