Question Username change (do you guys do it?)

[TheReturningVoid]

Hey guys,

Looking to get a username change. I've had this account collecting dust in the GBATemp databases for a while, and I don't really use this alias anymore. If possible, could I get a username change to TheReturningVoid?

Thanks in advance!

Why is message count relevant for changing username? Jeez I should've asked to change my username before I started posting actively again ..

It's not exactly relevant. It's more like a guideline. If you have a lot of posts, being a really active and well known user, and then suddenly change your username - a lot of people would be confused.

I wonder if I'm unpopular enough to name change. I don't want one, but I still wonder if I ever could.

I'mma jump on this boat. If possible, I'd like to have me username changed too. The one I have now is a really old one that I don't use anymore.
I've just recently became active again, so I don't think most people would even know. Plus, I don't think I'm gonna change this avatar for a long while...

Unless I find someone cooler than Big Band. Which isn't possible.
Still, if it ain't possible, I don't care much.

Is there a way I can see a list of users on this forum so that I may check the username I want is available? And does it matter who I message?

Any admin.

I've noticed really only three cases that mods will do a name change. If it's a minor change where people can still identify you, if your not that we'll known and no one will notice, or if you're such a fuck up that changing your identity is the only way you'll get another chance in the community (but usually we notice those and rip on you for it). I have seen a couple exceptions, but usually it's people that are tight with staff.

Any supervisor/admin can do it, but it's left up to that person's discretion whether or not the username change is granted.

If only it were so, apparently only people with less than 200 posts are allowed to change username now .. So what, I need to make a new account just to be able to use the desired username? In my case the username I wanted isn't even much different from my current one and would definitely not cause any confusion but nope, can't do it .. @Imacaredformy2ds As such you too won't be able to change your username cuz you have 380 posts ..

Dude, your username sucks. Just message an admin.

I was known as pinky for a time, but I think I've retired that name. I have no interest in changing my username at this time.

And then what? I was told by an admin that no member with more than 200 posts can change their username. If he gets to change his then so should I -_-.

Do not PM Global Mods about name changes. We can't help you.

He's referring to the Global Mod rank. They can't do anything to change your username. You have to PM a supervisor.
