Hi I'm "name" on VEXforum

Some of us have creative names that we use on the forum. (Yes, I do lack any creativity, so my forum name is my name). But I’ve found it helpful to wear a “Hi I’m Foster on VEXForum” (or Hi, I’m Foster on CD)

If you have access to a button / badge maker you might want to make one that makes it easier to connect to your favorite forum / discord posters.

I assume you mean for those attending the VEX Robotics world championship next week.

I did mean at worlds. I’ve worn mine at the local supermarket and I get strange looks. But so far nobody has come up and said “Cool, I’m Lacsap from the forum” :roll_eyes:

So yes, at Worlds, wear your forum/discord button.

Lol, I’ve done that before and nobody notices it, unless the button is the size of a Spin Up disk with your name printed in 128pt font.

I’ve found it more entertaining to get :heart: and :smiley: shaped stickers and exchange them with people while doing scouting or waiting in lines.

Most people are busy most of the time…

Hey… my forum name is plenty creative! Nobody would ever suspect that my last name is Evans and I teach, um… well… physics. :slight_smile:

And don’t even get me started on my alter ego “Evasnphysics”.

I can feel my OCD kicking in right now…


If I ever wore a badge saying, “hi, I’m gigahertz.t on the VEXforum” to SkillsUSA States (oh my gosh - clawbots galore), I would more likely be recognized if I included “… and starblast. io” (I love the new Aries).
At nationals, people would just say, “how much Massachusetts pins faw that Vecks Forum pin?”

The funniest for me was back when I did the VEXCast at worlds someone recognized me by my voice.

problem is… Since you can log in with either your forum account or your VEX account, I ended up with 2 different accounts over the years. A typo gave me the incorrect spelling on one of them. I’ve posted from both without realizing the difference until last year.

Now, if they can merge accounts…

Yup… two accounts… not confusing at all :confused:

Note to other forum members.

Do not try this for fun, moderators do not like alt accounts and will generally just delete both the alt and original.

Is there currently a way to merge accounts? I originally started off a long time ago with @Blazium, but I wanted to be able to access the certification forums and made that account with an email, hence this account was born. I have almost exclusively used this one for the past months, but if it is causing issues or has a potential for action to be taken on both my accounts I would much rather try and fix it now.

(Also I know I should make a separate thread but if you have a support contact for certifications that would be great, I am struggling to understand how to get certified through the newish system.)

Thanks!

Intro Courses are the new name of the old Certification courses. They are still free and available, but now live in the PD+ system within the free tier of PD+.

It it too early to declare this thread the “largest collections of turns” 2024? I’m thinking I’m at the Monster Mile in Dover at a NASCAR race with all the left turns. All it needs now is a code question and a random VIQ question to cover the rest of the bingo card.

If someone needed to buy a battery at Vex Worlds, would they have to pay to park in the convention center or could they take a train in to town first? I am looking at flights and trying to decide if flying there to pick up game element kits is worth the savings in shipping.
