Is it possible to change a username? I’ve used this handle since my college days, but it doesn’t really suit me anymore. I think my “smoke weed every day” days may forever be behind me ---

Sure, what do you want instead? You’re not the first one asking for a username change due to growing up 😄 ---

Thanks @Canapin! I’d prefer to go by first name, Maximus. However, the name is quite similar Maxence, who I greatly respect for the helpful advice he’s given me and countless others on this forum. Because there may be risk of confusion, I wouldn’t want to move forward without his approval. @Maxence , would you mind if I used the username Maximus? ---

As long as you don’t use my profile picture, I don’t see any issue 😛 BTW, one of my cousins is called “Maxime”. When my family asks for “Max”, it’s always a bit tricky to understand whether they are referring to him or to me. But I guess this isn’t much of an issue here 😉 ---

How many active ones though? Max does seem to be the most common unicyclist name. Maybe cause unis have no maximum to things possible? ---
