Name changes

Since there are a few people wanting nickname changes just now, if anyone wants their username changed, please post here within the next week. A reason as to why you wanted it changed would help your cause. Sometime next week I will change the nicknames requested, unless I have a reason not to.

Note that this will not become a regular occurrance. For now at least, it's a one-off due to many people asking for this.

will you keep the postcounts?

orudge · **Posted:** Fri Aug 27, 2004 10:02 pm

Yes, it's just your username that will change. Everything else will remain the same.

ThorRune · **Posted:** Fri Aug 27, 2004 10:24 pm

Well, you know i want to... Reason?

Well, Zetor was a misstype of Zatan, and it's a tractor. Both of thoce i don't like too much. (OK, tractors are fun...)

ThorRune is my real name. I won't grow tiered of that.

(Eventhoug i have suden pop-ins for stupid random words like "Tha potato" or something

)

I'd want mine changed to Metalcore424, but you wouldn't allow it anyway (because you still think it's a soddy nickname), and my name is already an established member of these forums. Not me, just my name.

I would like mine changed to DominionSpy.

1. To aid people in reading it.
2. I can't create a new account to do this (I would reset my post count and join date willingly).

i vill like to change my to trust OKF2000..

becouse the transport make my okf2000 chat and forum name to long.

I think Zetor2003 is pretty famous under his existing name. I can understand why he might want to change it however. I bet we'll soon find him anyway even with a new name.

Zatan, though? That sends the wrong message I think.

The rest of the requests look reasonable, basically spelling and typo-editing.

sounds too much like Satan (ie, the devil)

nd how can Zatan be misspelt as Zetor (o and a are nowhere near each other)

After a few years i feel my nickname is rather rediculous, as it stands for nothing really. I'd like it changed to.. "Raptor T13". if a space inbetween is impossible. add a "_"inbetween

Its a mix of my old nick and a nick i have used in other places, dont worry. i wont change

GoneWacko · **Posted:** Tue Aug 31, 2004 7:25 am

That sounds a bit strange.. Raptor T13

Please remember you'll be stuck with it [dramatic voice]for ever and ever[/dramatic voice] :roll:

orudge · **Posted:** Tue Aug 31, 2004 3:08 pm

In my opinion, "Raptor T13" sounds more ridiculous than "raptortycoon", but that's just my opinion.

krtaylor · **Posted:** Tue Aug 31, 2004 3:11 pm

Yes, personally I think RaptorTycoon is much better than some number.

Dan · **Posted:** Tue Aug 31, 2004 3:38 pm

I would prefer RaptorTycoon or Raptor T but not Raptor T13

How about changing it to Zlatan? :lol:

There should be some rules to this. People should have like 300 or 500 posts, so you aren't changing someones username, and the next day they leave. People should only be able to change their username once every year or so.

I think you should go with rules like these, but you can edit the numbers.

Can you take the underscores (_) out of my username please Owen? Thank you.

I'm assuming it's a simple database edit to change someone's name?

You can't change Zetor's name. Otherwise, we'd have to change the Zetorpedia too, and all the old posts that talk about it and him, and...

Lilman424 · **Posted:** Wed Sep 01, 2004 1:33 am

actually name changes are provided in the admin panel. no database hacking needed
