I hope this introduction message finds you all well! I chose DoctorVenkman as my user name because he was my favorite character in the movies and in [the Real Ghostbusters](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/the-real-ghostbusters-activison) cartoon. As an adult, I’ve grown to enjoy all the characters for what they brought to the stories. I was fortunate to receive an ecto 1 toy at the earliest memory of Christmas to go with my standard set of figures. I still have it with what survived from those first couple waves of figures- some parts missing. I definitely know I still have my original toy [pke meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter), and I think my trap and proton pack might be in storage. I recently joined the GN fans Facebook page and have truly enjoyed seeing posts and interacting with fellow Ghostbusters fans. It took a little over a month, but I fondly realized this forum and the site associated to it was relayed to the Facebook page. I actually had visited gb fans website and forums and read topics over the years as a casual fan. The enthusiasm and hobby of Ghostbusting has enthralled me into finally collecting a Ghostbusters uniform and I am in the process of acquiring the gear; for the most part I am all set! I am going to rely on a spirit pack and a homemade budget pack this Halloween, but have already ordered a vac pack kit that I am excited to build. If you’ve read this far along, I admit I’ve always been bad at introductions, my name is Levi. I joined a local Ghostbusters franchise on August 2nd and still need to get my patches on my [flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform) after I pick it up from the local army surplus. As far as long introductions go, I’ll stop typing your electronic ears off and look forward to talking [proton packs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack), ecto plasm, the movies, cartoons, and even [slimer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/slimer) with you all soon. Thanks for the admin,moderators and webmaster of this website and community. Keep on bustin’ - Levi DoctorVenkman ---

How has DoctorVenkman not been chosen as a user name until now? Maybe everyone just assumed it was taken?

Your message had me hyped, and I completely agree; I didn’t think it would be available, but alas as it’s been pointed out; someone had essentially already chosen the name in 2004 unbeknownst to me. I really like the name, but I don’t want to take away from the other Venkman’s time here or cause confusion. I private messages the other Doctor Venkman to see if he’s okay with me keeping it or if he wants me to change. I entirely respect if he wants to be the one and only. ---

In all honesty it’s not about wanting to be the one and only, but moreso wanting to avoid confusion. Maybe just adding a number to the end? People won’t always recognize the space and may confuse us but if you’re DoctorVenkman1984 or something, that won’t result in as much confusion. ---

I was just looking in the FAQ if I could change my username. I agree on the confusion being an issue, but if I can change my username, it will be without numbers and I would like something [Peter Venkman](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/peter-venkman) related. ---

I know Doctor Venkman with the space is technically entitled to the name since he was first but here’s a thought. Maybe we could devise a contest of some sort. A trivia challenge or something. If both agree, whoever loses adds the number or whatever. But again, first come first serve so I would totally understand if the original Venkman would rather just keep the user name he’s had for…15 years. ---

How is it ridiculous or odd? Also, why did you have to go that route? Why couldn’t you just say “Nah that’s ok. I like the user name” but no. You had to be a bit of a jerk about it. ---

It’s obvious why it’s ridiculous and odd to suggest that I change a name I’ve had for 15 years. Frankly, the suggestion was more than a bit jerkish. I honestly debated not even responding cuz it was more of the usual with you and I figured you were probably baiting me; which you probably were. It’s not jerkish at all for me to call a ridiculous and odd suggestion “ridiculous and odd.” ---

You have an attitude problem & I don’t know why we can’t talk with more respect. I never bait anyone on here ever. All I do is give my opinion. I said you are entitled to the user the name and I also said I would 100% understand if you turned the idea down. Which you did. But instead of doing it in a respectful way you get jerky about it. It seems you have a problem with me. I don’t know what I did to deserve that but if I’ve insulted you or disrespected you in a previous post I truly apologize. Or rather is it my opinions that you don’t care for? Whatever it is, block me or we can make nice. I have zero problem with the latter.
