: Public Service Bulletin: I hate changing your username

I'm not sure what it is, but for the past month, I seem to be getting two requests per day to change people's usernames - and in some cases to change them back. People are generally justifying the request due to them not thinking of a decent username in the first place. The funny thing is that in half the cases the new username is far more absurd than the original.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of my username either, but it's tolerable. Next time you sign up for something, make sure you have a decent username picked out. I'm really getting sick of changing people's usernames, and I think I might start charging just to make people think twice about bugging me about it. Either that, or I'll butcher your username request and make you regret asking. I'm a busy guy and going back and forth about your username that no one cares about is taking up too much of my day.

All the best,

You should just charge $20 for it or something. I know you've turned down some requests as well so simply charging would probably work best...

Yeah, charging would work. Money in your pocket.

I doubt it'll get so ridiculous that we have no idea who anyone is anymore, and a 20$ charge will make that even less likely.

Kooldino
06-13-2011, 01:52 PM
Yeah, maybe the $20 thing will actually work. It will either slow down the requests or at least give me money towards the airfare to Northish Ohio fund.

I was wondering when this message would come out -- It has definitely been a mass username-change-fest around here for the last month .. I used to think it was confusing when people would change avatars to make it the same/similar as someone else, but that doesn't even come close to the confusion of username changes

06-13-2011, 02:04 PM
Well if you are charging for name changes then I get a few freebee for sending back the flanges :yay:

Btw, this is not a proposition it is a demand :jedi:

I'd pay 20 bucks to change mine. Apparently people in NH (I'm from Pittsburgh) are all SUPER REDNECK NASCAR FANS.... I've had a few conversations in which people are like "EN HACHE EVO TWENNIE FOUR? SO YOU FAS LIKE DALE URRRNHART?"

Is there an alternative to username changes?
Like deactivate an account and let the user register for a new account?
I think this should be far less work for you.
Unfortunately I haven't found a way to deactivate an account without administrator's help.

Our local forum uses the funds for dyno day prizes. Dino could use the funds to buy and give away EvoXforums t-shirts or something cool if he wanted to. The forum does run those monthly contests.

On the contrary, for 20 bucks, if people paid you they'll expect it to get changed, you'll make a lot of money sure (maybe) but you'll probably get swamped with requests to change it and in a timely fashion. That'd piss people off more than merging hotdog, mlomker, and murlo's account into 1 and forcing them to share. HA! Now that I'd pay to see.

It really is getting ridiculous. People just have to live with their choice.

Only queers change their user name.

The kool kids get it changed without having to ask ;)

If you guys need a central account to deposit the money in for this, just use mine. I am planning on a build but I promise your money will go to username changes

hotdog, mlomker, and murlo's account into 1 and forcing them to share.

The locals still confuse murlo and me at times. All RR Xs look the same I guess.

The same thing happened when I was big into Airsoft. The state message boards were used to coordinate games. Our college team (yes, we had a club team at school) had some stupid "callsigns", but we kept 'em. The rest of the local teams changed theirs every few months, to the point where we just stopped calling them by their "callsign".

What difference does it make if you love your forum handle. People know you by something, stick with it, else you become "that guy I remember because he uses the same signature picture (JDAVID, looking at you).
