I would like to change my avatar name (for privacy reasons) but without losing my post count. I have invested quite some time building recognition and wouldn't want to loose it. Possible?

You want to change your user name but doesn't want to lose the recognition?

PM me with what you'd want your new account name to be. i can always transfer postcount.

but if i don't like your new name, i reserve the right to lower your post count to -100 and change your name to 'SillyPants'.

IIRC, a guy named JoeG4 figured out how to do that a while ago. All you have to do is annoy the moderators by constantly posting crap just to raise your post count. Eventually they give you a negative post count as a punitive measure. However, if that was your intent in the first place...

I remeber the 'custom' .gif that completed the effect!

Now how would that affect my account? Wouldn't that create a name collision in the database?
Can I have my -100 post count, now?

Members are stored by member ID, not username.

EDIT: oops.

Since no one cares... I created a new account. Only problem is I can't use my main email address because there can be only one account per email address.

Let's see how many years it takes to get the post count back to 300...
