in Introduce Yourself
A member who just accepted a friend request made me think about my username. I am not scam, I am human, I love using MFP, I am the guy from the picture and would like to make new friends here :)

    I just assumed you only wanted to be friends with other numbers and wanted nothing to do with people who have letters in their user name.

    If you are worried about it, MFP allows you to change your username once.:drinker:

    When I saw it, all I thought was damn I could have had the user name 'sevenATEnine'....so not scary, unless your '9' :noway:

    Numbers are fine, :-) A little dehumanised, but fine, :-)

    However...

    KitKat, your username makes me think of chocolate, which in turn makes me want chocolate... And since I'm trying to loose weight... Lol!

    I would suggest having more than one pic and filling out your about me section.

    I'm not a number, I'm a free man!

    But no, people shouldn't judge based on your username

    My husband has a lot of mathematical number patterns that he likes. He wouldn't use it as a user name. I don't know, it's late. I was just thinking about the number patterns he likes and why.

    I wouldn't worry about numbers in a user name, now if it was in the title of your post and it has to do with blackmagic you are in trouble....:laugh:
