Not a comment, rather a question. I didn't know where else to post... BUT...
Is there anyway to alter your username? I registered mine a long time ago (before I started posting regularly) and I now want to change it, or at least de-capitalize it. Is there anyway I can do this? Or do I have to register a whole new account and loose my # of posts & registration date?
Thanks!

I decapitalized it for you, but if you want a totally different username, you'll just have to register a new account.

what's the matter gzl? you could play ball and just change the user name if it is requested. Demon has set the precidence. Don't you ever speak to eachother? :/
it's just a username and it isn't like everybody is changin their names twice a day. (!)

we only change them when there's some real reason to do it. for example, when someone just registers a new account and then immediately decides they don't want the name, we'll change it. in general, however, we don't like people changing names because it's just confusing. people don't request their names changed because we've always refused them in the past; there would be a lot more of that if we allowed it.
Whatever. nayr x has so few posts that I'd be more willing to change it, in any case.

It'd be a total mess if everyone went around changing their usernames all the time... even if it was just once, it becomes confusing. Suddenly a member appears with 3000 posts and you just think... who the hell is this?
I just think that if a person doesn't like their current name, they can re-register... it isn't like A) the name really means much, nor B) any posts gained mean much either... it's the reputation, which could easily be carried over.
My two cents (four cents AUD).
