Thank you for the welcome OldWarrior. I have just nipped over to your board to have a nosy and read a handful of posts. I love your wife's username, lol. And many congratulations on your 20 year anniversary.
Thanks. It does NOT seem like 20 years either. And, I doubt my wife will ever read this post. lol

Welcome, Tech Challenged, to Bible Notes!
I will certainly testify that my wife's user ID is very appropriate!
I actually suggested that user name to her at the time, because she was drawing a blank. She thought it was a good one for her!

Re:
It's nice to know your policy on removing dead boards LG. That's so much more user friendly.
I would imagine there are also quite a few that have test boards like myself and Spherical have set up, whereby it gets to a stage where only rarely will a post be made. It would be awful to suddenly lose a test board if one is storing codes and skin on it.
I remember OldWarrior when I first started using social systems I also simply couldn't think of a username. In the end I chose a mixture of my real name Sandy Ann. Sandranna was taken on AOL in those days so I just changed the S to a Z, making it Zandranna. I've used that for so many years now it feels almost like my real name. Although most just call me Zan.

Re:
I tried to get a screen name with Susan in it and everything Susan was taken and I didn't want to add numbers after it, so I chopped off the "n". My whole world opened up!
On the test boards, I make them Premium boards and then set it so that none of the Premium credits are used up. That way, they will never be deleted.

Re: Just Wanted to Say Hi
Yes, test boards are another kind of board that wouldn't be posted on or visited regularly, but the owner would want to keep. Some of our skin boards have actually been deleted by the system, so now I try to go around and give premium credits to those to keep them from being deleted, and give them the same settings Susa uses to keep those credits from being depleted.

Very clever indeed! I like that!
By the way, I have almost always thought of "Susa", the user ID, as male! I DO think I remember Susa(n) correcting my perception.

When I first saw it, I thought of the ancient Persian city.

The skin boards I have done this for are the ones listed in the "Skins" forum of this board. If we're going to dedicate a forum in our official support board to skins, and provide links to boards where those skins are in place, the links should lead to actual boards and not "Oops! Not found!" messages.
That said, I gave your test board and Spherical's test board each 10 credits today, and enabled ads for everyone so those 10 credits will never be depleted unless you change that setting. They can still get flagged after 6 months of inactivity, but the premium will prevent them from being deleted in case you're ever sent an email but don't receive it.

Re:
Oh my! Thank you so much LG. I wasn't expecting that.
As for guessing usernames being male or female I tend to subconsciously go by the avatar. I've been tricked a couple of times with that though.
Sometimes you can also tell by the way a post is written. I can't pin point it, but men and women mostly have a different way writing.
