Names Change
 

Eh, can we still do this? Can I change my name to Derivative.

That is a really bad name. And you probably can't change it.

Name changes haven't been cancelled or anything, but we want to get J2O back to normal first.

Actually I can. And I will. And I never go around talking about your names, so I would appreciate it if you didn't comment on mine. It's not like I think your name is cool or anything.

Name changes suck because then most people would keep changing their names and it'd be confusing and a waste of a lot of user accounts.

I'd like to request adding a space to Killerrabbit's name. It always messes up the formatting.

You should probably read the thread on this. There are restrictions, including time-based ones.

The thread was lost in the server crash.

Name changes are intended mainly as a convenience to users, and a deterrent to multiple accounts. There are restrictions to prevent people from abusing the system and\or changing names too frequently.

• Clan tags may not be added to names or modified. They can be removed or can remain.
• Name changes may not occur within 4 months of the user's previous name change or registration.

Name changes will be recorded publically in the name change topic, to record the date and to eliminate identity doubts.

As stated before, this will not be reinitiated until we get J2O back to normal.

Okay, J2O works now, can we get to the changes again? ;p

Since the j2o is normal now, can we change your names again? :p

anyway, i'd like to change my username to Snooze.

That's what I said, foo.

Now everyone goes changing their name. \o/.

I think the custom title of a user with a changed name should be something like "Formerly: PreviousName" for at least 2 months if someone changes his/her name.

Better yet, how about an extra Custom Title that says what you just said...

How about a line at the end of the signature listing all of the user's previous names?

Ahem.. I'd like to be Fawriel again. I got turned back into Piccolo when the server died.

Name changes are now occuring again. See the official thread for more information.

People who have their name changed will have a "Formerly" field in their profile and on posts for one month after the name change. This is done manually, so if we forget to remove it after a month just remind me. The limit has also been changed to five months.

Whee! ^_^

Yay, alas!
