I don't know where else I could ask this, so I'll ask it in here.

Could I have my name changed to SpiltCoffee, just like it says in my avatar and signature? You can keep my username the same, I just want my nickname changed.

If you do it for him you have to do it for everyone!

Actually, there is an option in SMF to allow nickname changing, but it's been turned off on this forum.

Anyways, it's not that much of a hassle. It's just clicking into my profile, typing in my new name and clicking "Save".

And why would they have to do it for everyone? I don't go by the name elbow_man anymore. In fact, I first intended it to be my username, not my nickname. Lol.

Yeah but you are stuck with elbow_man because you are an idiot, and I am stuck with my name because I am an idiot. A lot of people are stuck with their names but they are stuck with theirs, and if they do something nice for you, to be fair they should have to do said nice thing for everyone.

I'll do it for you just because 4-year-old is being an asshole to you.

Just since this is a small question I've always never really been bothered to ask, and this is a relative topic; why is there no option for changing your nickname?

ChromedGun · « **Reply #8 on:** July 04, 2007, 04:07:07 pm »

Because then chaos will reign the forums. I'm a member on a forum that used this feature, people changed their names and avatars like every 2 days. You simply can't recognize them.

As a summary, this is so Chakra can't ninja himself into a major and spam the forums. Okay, he can, but thats not the point.

PANZERCATWAGON · « **Reply #9 on:** July 04, 2007, 04:08:27 pm »

Well I'm not going to know who spiltcoffee is now. Not that I actually did know or cared but that's not the point.

That's pretty much the reason, yes

Imagine this, but all users, constantly. "Hmm, I want some random numbers here", "This name doesnt sound cool anymore"-after 4 hours, "How about I change my name into 1337-speek?", "I want more waffles", etc.

Why register if this feature was enabled? Everyone could aswell be guests

PANZERCATWAGON · « **Reply #11 on:** July 04, 2007, 04:14:47 pm »

Yes, I understand that. My point was that how come Flies has allowed whoever he was to change name.

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #12 on:** July 04, 2007, 04:46:50 pm »

like I said, because 4-year-old was being a prick

SpiltCoffee · « **Reply #13 on:** July 04, 2007, 07:24:32 pm »

Thanks, FLAB! And thanks, 1-4-y-o for being unnice to me! xD!

I don't know you either... :S

Shadow G-Unit · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2007, 06:42:25 pm »

Yeah, I would like it if my name was changed to SlapsLikeAPie, but it seems like people know me more as Shadow G-Unit, but I would still like it to be changed to SlapsLikeAPie.

Plonkoon · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2007, 06:51:28 pm »

I doubt there will be much more name changing. SplitCoffee just got freakin lucky.

Shadow G-Unit · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2007, 06:54:41 pm »

I hope F.L.A.B. just changes it.

Edit: Because this name is getting old. Shadow was my first ingame name (not Major) and G-Unit was supposed to be my first clan.

Coolio · « **Reply #17 on:** July 08, 2007, 10:05:59 pm »

Hey F.L.A.B. can you please change mines too please. I want it to be Stealthyogurt. Please.

No, I guess you didn't read the whole thread.

I get tons of these requests and I have to turn them down because we can't have a forum full of people changing their names.

It would be cool if your display name was different from your username and you could change your display name whenever you want.
