The great namechanging thread! v2
Hello there,
this is the place to change your nickname! We're going to do some things differently compared to the old thread. Here's how it goes:
- You can only change your name once every 12 months
- You'll get a 2 week try-out period. If you don't like it, we revert it, but you still loose your chance to change your name for 12 months.
- You can change your name to a name that has been taken by an inactive account. This means a user who hasn't logged in for at least 24 months, has 0 posts and is < junior member.
- Please keep your old username in your signature for a week or two for people to get used to your new name. (Something like "Formerly known as nielsie95" will do).
- We hold the right to revert the namechange. If we do, you'll get another chance.
- Use common sense! Namechanges to nielsie96, administrator1, Pasta Magician and the likes will not be allowed.
- Capitalizations are allowed without a time limit, but keep it reasonable and make up your mind.
If you want to request a namechange, use the following format: [old name] -> [new name]
If the change is not clear, please clarify it a bit (what exactly needs to be changed).
Examples:
nielsie95 -> HenkDaVries
"Wizzup?" -> "Wazzup!"
Happy changing!
As of 07/13/2013 you will need to do a password recovery (Click Here) after your username has been changed. This is due to our new encryption methods using the username as part of the hash generation.
For admins: please add a user note the account with the date and before+after name (not needed for capitalizations).
