Thread: Username change

    Talking Username change

    Hi all!

    Since when I first registered, there were a load of people with rather "creative" usernames. I am beginning to feel that my one looks too "generic" now.

    I would like my username changed to either:


    1. The Toxic Mite
    2. Beast of Death

    ... whichever one is available.

    Thanks!

    Re: Username change

    From the forums FAQ (please look at the bottom, in u-g's post):

    Can I change my username?

    No. Usernames can not be changed - dashes can not be added, lowercase cannot be made uppercase, etc. However, you may choose to create a new account and then request that we disable the original one. The only exceptions to this are extreme cases, such as when a user has been harassed by another user or when the username contains the member's email address or real name.

    Note: If you do make a new account, you will have to transfer all information yourself, as we will not do this for you. Also, we can't transfer your statistics (beans, account age and the like) to the new account.
    While we have already taken username change requests into consideration, on case by case evaluation, I'm sorry to say your request does not fit with any particular situation other than personal comforts.

    I would suggest you create another account, give us your new identity, and we'll deactivate the current account. Thanks.
