Change user name

I think the forum status ranking is all wrong anyway as it gives the impression to newcomers that an elite roboteer knows exactly what he is talking about, reality could be that its 1000's of useless posts thats been written.
where also gilbert grimm should be classed as elite for his experience but on the forum he has only written 2 posts

Or as in Mattsdragons case, asking the same question 1000 times. Or posting a sale thread then changing your mind.

I'm sorry Matt but you struck me as a good example.

I have made 2 robots (the first out of chopping board and wheelbarrow wheel inner tube) and apparently I am an advanced roboteer.

Quite flattering, really. I wonder what I'd be if I had the posts here that I do on the other forum I visit, on which I have 7,400 posts and joined this time in 2008.

To be fair, it has always related purely to the number of posts of a user (going back to the discus(?) forum days) and has no connection whatsoever to the quality and/or reliability of what's being posted. But I can see why it could be misleading to newcomers; I'm certainly don't consider myself elite when it comes to all things robot.
Elite babbler, I can do though

Toying with the idea of changing mine as it references a team name my 16 year old self was cool for ten minutes five years ago (as opposed to the current name, which my 17 year old self thought was cool for twenty minutes four years ago)
