Changing my forum name?
Heeeeey everyone... I didn't know who exactly to go to with this - I did the whole help/FAQ thing and I read the part about changing my login name and I submitted a form but it has been a month and nothing.

So I go to you, the hard working mods and administrators of this lovley forum (gotta love the suck-up ) for help. I would like to change my login name to BrendanC... I made up my current one a few years ago and it is childish and stupid and I hate it - I dont want to make a new one and lose the "Joined" date, or my posts or reputation.

And if I am in the wrong place, sorry, delete/lock/ w/e.

Thank you!

~Brendan

I would change my screen name to my original one (which is actually my real name) if they would let me bring Arty's post history with me... My real name doesn't have a very upstanding post history near the end...

Why? What's wrong with it?

The admins will probly get round to it eventually, but changing
usernames is generally pretty low on their priorities list...

But it was just as ****ed up 342 posts ago, too. And, that's not really very many posts, just walk away from it and get a new name.

As opposed to the upstanding post history of your current name

This is why I just make my online identity the same as my real life identity (save for gaming potentially) if they don't like me online they won't like me in real life and vice versa....
