Kinda split about changing accounts...

General
Hey, guys. Been a while since I last wrote a journal.
Basically, I'm facing kind of a dilemma : I'm considering changing accounts in order to use another username.
The reason is, "Skianous" is actually just a username I came up with for the Playstation Network when I got a PS3 years ago. I then proceeded to use it for my FA account because, hey, why not ? Never bothered to change it after that.
Thing is, I don't really feel much of a connection to this name. Sure, I grew somewhat attached to it since I've been using it for about 8 years now, but I don't feel like it really represents me as a furry artist. On the other hand, it *is* truly unique to me, while the other name I had in mind is not. I mean, there are like 1 page and a half of Google results for it, which is insignificant, but you get the idea.
There's also the issue of starting again "from scratch". Of course, I'm planning to notify my watchers (through notes, Discord and by leaving a "moved !" notice on my frontpage) but I'm also aware that rebuilding my community on a new account will take time. Which is why I want to be *absolutely* sure of my decision before I go through with it.
I'm still in the process of making my mind up, and I was curious to know if any of you had an opinion on this or went through a similar experience ?

You could consider just waiting for that and using it to change your account name instead o:
