When you see a username on NG with numbers in it, do you automatically think, 'Wow, this guys a noob. Couldn't come up with an original name. LOLOLOLOOL *fap*' Since whenever you choose a name when you sign up and it's taken you automatically get a list of names with numbers and such. So when you see names like, 'User-name21', do you think he was unoriginal or just out of ideas?

lol my original name was dude4001

I Don't think there going to be a noob. I Just find it hard to remember and annoying.

Sometimes the numbers actually fit well into the username. Can't think of an example right now though, which also proves how rare those occurrences are.

Not as easy to remember, doesn't stand out as much, usually. So I usually don't pay them much attention. Unless they are supercool or something.

I wanted GreenFrost, but that account got taken. After it was inactive for a couple of months, it got deleted. But I've already submitted flash, gotten to lvl 13, and posted on the BBS frequently. I want a name change.

THERE IS NO MORE TO SAY.

It's ok maybe for a forum or something but if your a flash artist it's unoriginal and lame.
Example: Imagine if Adam Phillips' username was Chluiad23...? it just isn't as professional.

I just think numbers in an account name are visually unappealing, I've always avoided using them if I can. I originally wanted the account name Kamikaze, but I wasn't about to put numbers in it so I could get it.

Kamize works for me.

Well, my name is my name. I didn't want something original, I just wanted to be known by my name, Murad.

Don't know if i agree or disagree. But my numbers do add a meaning to my name, a very abstract one but that was what i intended to do. They also don't appear at the end and "TheDemon" or "Demon" seem unoriginal. I have also seen only one other person on the entire internet to use this alias, although he did use it multiple times.

I seem to get that a lot. The 14 just makes it so much better than, lets say, lunchbreak or hourlunchbreak.

Some people get pretty frustrated when they can't think of a good username so they just put a heap of numbers on the end, force themselves to remember it and then stick with it most of the time. It also depends on what the username is, methinks. If it is something like Supersaiyanr0x6213 you can tell that the person who has that account just plain sucks. I just use my account name. It's neat, and original.

An example of a unsername in which numbers are not unappealing ^

However, most usernames with numbers are.
I mean, I'm sure you can come up with something better than punkrocker342 or satan6666666.

It might have been because you were a new account. Before changing my alias i had asked a mod about it and they said that i might have to just create a new one. You do however have a lot of reviews and i would try again. I have heard stories before about people who have had to ask multiple times.

I'll try again, but I tried only like a month ago. Hopefully, it will work this time.

Thanks for the advice though =)

I don't think I could even fit any numbers into my username, anyway.

What about mine? 21 means something, and personally I thought we had to have numbers. But soldierofhentai is original.

if its obviously a date at the end of it then I dont mind, but if its like 1 or 2 or random numbers then they generally appear stupid

same as if i see someone on here or xboxlive with something like xX-EL1I3-SN1P3R-Xx
