Forum name changes - UPDATES NOW DONE!

Hello forum peeps.

OK. A few of you have messaged me to ask if you can change your user names.

This is not something I would normally do for two reasons:

1. It can get confusing for both admin and other forum users if you have been dealing with or keeping an eye on someone and their user ID suddenly changes for no apparent reason.

2. Once I do one, everyone wants a change! And then it gets stupid with people wanting to change all the time for no reason.

So, it isn't normally done.

BUT ... as there have been a few requests, I will open this thread up for ONE WEEK ONLY.

If you want your name changed, post on here, stating CLEARLY what you want your new ID to be.

Please don't fill the thread up with chatter as well, if you want to do that, start another thread. When I come to do the name changes I don't want to be ploughing through pages of unrelated crap to weed out the important stuff.

THIS THREAD WILL BE LOCKED AT 18:00 GMT ON TUESDAY 17th AUGUST. ID's WILL BE UPDATED BASED ON THE THREAD AT THAT POINT. THE WINDOW IS THEN CLOSED. IF YOU HAVE NOT POSTED ON THIS THREAD, YOU WILL HAVE MISSED YOUR CHANCE.


If you have previously PM'd me an ID change request, you still need to post on here. ONLY posts on here will be actioned.

Please think carefully before changing. If I change it, and you decide a week later you want your old ID back .... you won't get it.

Changes will be PERMANENT until/unless I decide to open a window like this again .... and thats not likely to be anytime soon!

Thank you .... commence posting!

Indeed!

Thats why we don't do it very often, this is a one-off opportunity ... for the moment.

Thats also why I'm doing it like this. The thread will be stickied in here for a little while after I put the changes through, in case anyone want to refer back to it.

No problem with the off topic ...... back to topic now .....

** EDIT **

lol @ deleted posts (you know who you are)

Back on topic again ....

forget about that, sorry

please rename me xiao, don't ask me how ...but I meant xiao and somehow, I messed up somehow on my username when I made this account. xie = xiao

This window will CLOSE tomorrow evening. (GMT)

If you want a change, and haven't already done so, you need to post before I lock the thread.

Please make sure you've read post #1 before requesting a change as I'm not changing everyone to something else a week later .... this is a one off opportunity.

Hey bob i dunno if you saw my post but im pretty sure i wont be able to have the same name as a older member so i would like the name CypriaN as i said
just wanna know if you approve of the name

Of course, you can't use a name thats already in use (or an obvious attempt to sound like an existing user).

Other than that, you can change it to what you like. I don't mind what as long as it's not offensive.

ok illl stay with CypriaN

CLOSED!!!

Will review the posts and make the user name upates sometime in the next few days. Please don't start PM'ing me asking me when .... I'm kind of busy with house stuff just now so it'll get done when it gets done!

If you suddenly find your existing username no longer works ... try the new one you requested!

Thank you.

OK. Changes made as follows:

radu >>> Radu
Lemonade >>> LEMO
ricotamanora >>> Rico
rAyS >>> rayS
6.aii >>> F.B.I
gaufferhoof >>> Rouchien
gaviel >>> Gavy™
Firedracax >>> Teapot ... (lol)
xie >>> xiao
maori >>> CypriaN

...and thats it.

No PM's saying "I've changed my mind ...." etc etc .... you were warned this was a one of chance so your new username stays unless I open a new change window.
