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).
