About UserName Change

Global Paw · 02-08-2005, 08:25 PM

In the past, we allowed users to change their username with the aid of an admin as they wanted. However, because of an increasing amount of requests for username change, and the growing confusion on who is who, and who was who, we no longer offer username change without substantial reason backing up the need for the change.

We still allow username change, but a viable reason is needed, no longer will we alter your name because you got tired of it, or you got a new kind of dog than the one your username denotes.

Thanks for understanding.

southerngirl/pitbullie, this choice has been coming for a while, feel lucky you changed your username to what you want before the door slammed shut.

I'm glad this happened too.

It would get way to confusing if people just kept changing their user name all the time. I use to frequent a chatroom where the people there seemed to have about a dozen usernames each and no one could figure out who was who... half the time spent in chat was - "Hey, don't you remember me? I use to be 'such & such' but I changed to 'whosit' and then got sick of that and now I'm 'whatever'. Wait, weren't you 'watchamacallit' last week?"

LOL Sad but true, I'm afraid.
