why have our star names changed? [Merged]

Quackers

I'm not bothered either way.

Its just a change of 'poster title' thingymajiggy.

It really doesn't matter.

I got my third star yesterday and I was so chuffed - and now they've taken it away again!!!

That happened to me when I had 3 stars, it took me ages to build it back up again.

I hadnt noticed the namechange up until I read this thread, I wonder what else they got hidden up their sleeves

Hi folks

The notes in the mental health discussion were the catalyst not the cause of the name change.

It's been something I've been looking to do for a long time (originally I intended that I would change them regularly) - I've also changed how many stars are needed now the site's been going longer.

It really isn't a big deal - its not about banning language on the site - it just seemed a good point for a change

no martin maybe not to you but everyone who contrubites to this site and ultimately gives great advice many are offended. I have no problems with change but its when you basically have humiliated/offend/upset many with derogatory comments it kinda is a big deal. After all i dont think this site would be running if all these people you have labeled as 'have no real world/life' didnt contribute here. I must say i didnt think you/this site was like this i thought this site was about encouragement/caring in troubled times ~ obviously i have seen a different side of this site today.

Anyways that is my point, i have be faced with critasisum/silly comments all my life, i am sure i can rise above this last out pouring.

thanks pap

From Dictionary.com

"noun Slang. A stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person."

How rooood!

I quite agree. How very rude!

And it is going to cost me a lot to press the post reply button, coz instead of being the Mad Maverick MoneySaving Maniac I happily was, I'm likely to be a nerd, or worse, a supergeek!

From Dictionary.com

geek –noun
1.a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.
2.a computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)
3.a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken.

:eek:

As others have already said , it is the manner of change rather than the change itself which has disturbed me.

Pass me a chicken someone :rolleyes:
