So, quit bugging us for changes. You can change your own name on the Edit Profile page of your settings.

Other users will be able to see a username history so there will be less confusion about who is who...

If other people can find out who you are then what the hell is the point? (Other than for purely childish reasons)

We always operated under the assumption that people would know who were are anyways, unless they were retarded. Somethings we do just for fun, a concept that must be unknown to you.

"You last changed your username 03-18-2011.
You have changed your username 106 times."

Be careful there are rules about when you can change back... I just changed my name and have to use the Admin powers to change back now. :P

Also, if you don't grab your name back after the time lapses, it is available for others to use. I'm working out time limits, etc. Opening this option is going to open questions...

:D

this is what i posted in the board issues section to damo:




people taking established names could present a problem.

It would probably fall under our rule of impersonating other members.

If someone before this feature asked me to rename them the name of someone else on here, I obviously would have said no.

I would make it so no one can EVER steal any of your past names.


thoughts? O_o

Finally! On several occassions I had to ask my "lady friend" who was who. While always gracious, I did feel like I was bothering her.

I'd prefer that not happen. If the user asks us to change back to their established name just before the time runs out, we can ensure the name stays unavailable to others. We will not change any user to an established name of another user.
