@newbie308 is no longer a newbie. His forum name is misleading, therefore I propose a name change.

Here are a few ideas. If none of these seem fitting, select #7, and post up with your contribution.

    2. CardboardSkateboard2
    3. F2nut
    4. NickSpuht

    GiggleyBitsMcKenzie is inspired by a scene in the film Goon. I'm obscuring it with spoiler. NSFW, and not for those who don't like team locker room humor spoken in French.

    John, I believe that the correct spelling is"Hawk Tuah".

    ....BTW, I like the way you think.
    It's diverse AND inclusive !

    Come up with a moniker that suits you. I don't know if Vanilla supports this kind of change but it should be easy. (In theory)

    Yep! @xschop That was the original impetus for my user name. My first big game hunting rifle as a teenager was a 308 Win. I used that username for some hunting and reloading forums and just stuck with it when I opened my account here.
