Do We Have A Thread on Who Is Changing Their Name and Why?
 

Been off the forums the last few days, holy cripes, what the [censored] is going on? Apparently you can change your name, I have just asked for a change, anyone else? Can we get a thread to record those who have?

There was an upgrade done yesterday so some new features. I wasn't aware this was one of them. Why would anyone want to change their name?

Re: Do We Have A Thread on Who Is Changing Their Name and Why?
 

This would be a good thread for that. Is there list somewhere that lists the changes?

Re: Do We Have A Thread on Who Is Changing Their Name and Why?
 

How long before one of the mods decides it's funny to start changing people's names w/o telling them?

Re: Do We Have A Thread on Who Is Changing Their Name and Why?
 

The name change stil has to be approved by a moderator. So how is this different from before?

Only very high profile folks had name changes (MajorKong, fossilman) but it was still possible.

I hate my name, I never thought I'd even post on here. My name basically declares me as a pretentious music guy who's not pretentious enough to know that declaring oneself as Indie is gayer than richard simmons eating a banana. Most people know my alter ego anyway, so I'd like to use that.

Re: Do We Have A Thread on Who Is Changing Their Name and Why?
 

How do you go about changing names? I wouldn't mind changing mine as well.

Re: Do We Have A Thread on Who Is Changing Their Name and Why?
 

This is something that is currently being discussed amongst the mods and admins. Is it possible? Yes. However, we don't want to start changing people's names because of possibly inciting forum chaos. At present time, it's not happening. If it ever happens, it will have to be personally approved by Mat. Changing names at will is STRICTLY verbotten. Also, any change you make to your name would almost certainly have to leave your new name recognizable as to who you were, ala MrWookie47 --> MrWookie. Don't hold your breath about this, however.

I can definitely see why you might think about changing that... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Dude, why not just start posting under the other name?

Not like we'd treat you any differently based on post count.

Not to be a nit, but apparently you haven't seen some of the name changes already, I don't want to call anyone out specifically, but I have seen quite a few that are nowhere near the parameters you say/believe exist.

Edit: Also what forum chaos would there be? The boards will riot because of what precisely?

It's not that important. But if the option is there to do it, I'd like to.

I got a PM from Mat this morning telling me it was approved, so I guess it's ok by him.

Re: Do We Have A Thread on Who Is Changing Their Name and Why?
 

Looks like your best bet is to PM Mat and see what's up.

Re: Do We Have A Thread on Who Is Changing Their Name and Why?
 

All you need to do is just go into "my home" and make the change. Then a mod has to approve it. They either do or they don't.

For some reason I thought it went Bottles -> RollaJ -> Death Valley. I have no idea where I got that. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

What you do is change and submit. I assume Mat see's this and says yay or nay. Again, I have no problem following protocol. Also, I am way too lazy to delete PMs I may want to save, so for now I don't have any PM access.
