New name
For a while now, I have thought that Cheddite Cheese was a kewlish name. I recently thought of a better name: Metacelsus (Paracelsus was taken). This
name better reflects my interests in chemistry (it's not just about blowing stuff up).
With the help of Polverone, Cheddite Cheese is now Metacelsus.

Noted. But I will probably forget.
Maybe you could do what zephyr did and put something in your mood or sig -- "formerly known as" kind of thing.
What is the significance of Metacelcsus?

Paracelsus (Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim) was a famous alchemist.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracelsus)
Metacelsus is a play on Paracelsus: changing the "para" to "meta."
I put "formerly known as Cheddite Cheese" in my Bio, but I'm not sure anyone reads those.

So many people with new names... I've considered changing mine, simply because zts16 is boring and not meaningful, but I decided that with as many
posts I have and being a moderator now it would be too confusing at this point. So I'll stick it out. I do think though that if I even take a
significant hiatus from SM, I may come back and make a new account with a better name so that my old posts would remain attached to this one.

Let me get this straight: If I want a new name, do I just message one of you and say what name I want?

You'd have to talk to an administrator, moderators don't have that power.

Really? as it stands you have a post count of 4, is it really worth wasting an administrators time over? just make a new account

i dunno but zts16 always grabbed my eye balls because it reminds me of zits at 16.really though i think its because both zts16 and cheddite cheese
names have never been tied to bullshit. names from alot of members here draw our attention as soon they appear because of their knowledge.
