Apparently, people seem to have the idea lately that changing names is the cool thing to do around here. Sorry, but this is getting ridiculous. I've set a precedent that I never should have.
I am no longer accepting requests for forum name changes unless someone's life or career is in jeopardy (in the case of one of the recent changes, it was career).
DO NOT ASK ME TO CHANGE YOUR FORUM NAME. YOU CHOSE YOUR NAME. DEAL WITH IT.
I'd like to change my name to Panda.
Just so people can go 'hey panda'
sorry, i think i may have started this whole thing
I started it all, way back when
crap, I was planning to change it again to "the poster formerly known as Jack Sawyer" :p
Id like to go with symbol, however not the word but the essense of the word. Ill leave how youll represent this with text up to you, but if you can not think of anything you may simply go with "the poster formally known as boost"
my thanks in advance.
nope, I didQuote:

Bidip, inturresting
i started it all, sorry people. my original name was 'Gabriel.' look up my old posts and you can see where people quoted me as 'Gabriel' in '04
And I think I changed my name from dwarfman1990 to dwarfman right after you.Quote:

You could have slid quietly into the night...Quote:

i guess i dont see the sense in not letting something like bigspenda73 not change to spenda if he wanted because its the same name but better and easier and all the good things. now if he wanted to change to 'crackwhorejones' then just tell him to fuck himself.
imo the forum looks a lot better with names like dwarfman than dwarfman1990, but i happen to have a super keen artistic sense.
i mean is not 'wufwugy' the most beautiful looking, and even sounding, word????Quote:

Historical data is ruined when forum names are changed and a name change mid-season completely invalidates that player's points and ranking.
That, and we had some issues with pranksters impersonating other forum members. But the main reason is for the Gauntlet automation.
I'm not just being a dick about it.
OMG YOU WINWIGGYQuote:

I was hoping to slip under the radar to avoid exactly what happened. Sometimes we need a change and not just because we are Gemini. I didn't want it to effect others chances when they feel they really need one, not just because "it's the thing to do". Keeping the avatar kept it on the down low I thought.Quote:

if i want my name changed i'll just threaten to leave if i dont get my way and X will be like 'noooooo i ruv you!'
i would like to change my name to 'Nut Seen Yo' so people know how to say it and when i meet them irl they dont give me a blank look when i tell them my online name
my first user name like foreverrrrrr ago was lineof7s but I think it got deleted when all this fancy stuff came in. I took a long break inbetween that name and making this one. but still, maybe I was the original?!
edit: just went through 50 pages of names and found lineof7s is still there, and I was even worse at poker than I am now. made/quit ~Aug 2004, so not that long of a break, almost a year though. Can I get my join date changed to Aug 2004 to make me feel cooler? :)
Not really mad, Mike. But a bit annoyed, yes. Nothing personal.. and the tone of anger was somewhat in jest.Quote:

its alright X you're doing a great job keep it up
I want to change my name to Johnny Wad
Thank you, O Great Lukie, kind sir.Quote:

Yea that's what me and rent agreed on in our sweat session the other day.
Also if your screenname is RANDYBOY or similar we will assume your a donkey. Especially if you tack some random numbers on to the end.
Could I get my name changed to dale cooper (with a space)? Or daleCooper? I'm just concerned that people think my name is Dalec Ooper, which is just stupid.
Barring that, could my name be changed to Triptanes Jr.?
Can I change mine to Guyapogos? Sometimes for short, people refer to me as "Gal". And I don't like that, sounds kinda fem or faggy, and that's not what I'm about.
I wanna change my name to lamevash.
because washing is lame
We get it, man, we've been disturbed by your avatar every day.Quote:
