I'm here for a while to test it. Whatever idiocy is going on with the (?|?) PR disaster is driving people away, I spent the better part of my afternoon looking for a replacement. Your post led me here. I decided to retain my username, though. Cashews are pretty fucking good.

Interesting. I personally (almost) never use the same username for multiple websites.

I stick with CashewGuy for a lot of websites, I even bought cashewguy.com (and threw a video of Malcom Tucker from The Thick of It on there, NSFW language). Mostly I do this because I'm not very creative with names, but also because I've gone by CashewGuy on IRC for years, and it's just easier. Also, cashews are awesome. They've never let me down, and I won't let them down.

CashewGuy I'll eat this bag of cashews in your honor then. Cashews for the cashew guy!

I too, kept my username.

Agreed. Cashews are really nice. I also decided to keep my username, makes it feel more like a migration.

Same, but I'll still be on reddit, these are two fairly diffrent sites and can't really be compared in my opinion.

I'll be on reddit off and on for a while I suspect. Mostly because it's just a hard thing to break away from something so ubiquitous. For instance, I've got AlienBlue on my phone and iPad (whereas, Hubski has no mobile app, and the mobile link doesn't work for me). I also moderate a smallish subreddit, and I'm hesitant to leave the few that I'm active on behind (writing, gay, writingprompts, a few others).

My sticking to one has more to do with me wasting enough time online as it is than anything else.
