'Cause then we'd put in stupid stuff for no apparent reason. Or a staff member like an admin and have everyone confused.
In short: *arf*, why not. It'd be fun. :P

Yeah... I've been wondering if a lot of the not-so-newbies had different names way back when.
Please don't make it so that Aaron can enter every single name change he has had. Database space problems and such...
EDIT: n/m, it's done.
Good job, Bleys. There's a "Formerly" field in the profiles but we can't edit it in "Edit Profile" or "Edit Options."
And y'know... it'd look better underneath the current name, not between Y!M and MSN screennames =P
And here's where I'll stay / For ten years and a day
We're on a quest to find hidden treasure / And mystery on The Wild Sea
Ditto Linus and Purgatory. *perfectionist*
Seriously, tho', it's annoying to have that field empty so none of us can put our old names in it.
I'm sure it requires hacking, but is it possible to allow the db to input the name whenever an admin changes it?
It would get too confusing if it allowed people to change it manually because there'd be a lot of jerks out there trying to confuse people.
OOC: EDIT: Aaron: It's nice that your going to back to your roots. *points to avi*
Yams, that would probably crash the board for weeks. You know that.
OOC: Aaron, he's had that av for like a month now, slowy.
I'm not sure what you're referring to here, but I agree wholeheartedly with the rest of your post. It certainly wouldn't make the boards crash, unless I'm misinterpreting what I'm SUPPOSED to get out of that.Originally posted by Yamaneko

Not sure I understand this, either.Originally posted by Linus

Ok, someone wants a name change (i.e. Yamaneko), they ask an admin, let's say Bleys (for the sake of sanity). Bleys changes it to Tooth Fairy. Can it be done so that when I become Tooth Fairy, the Formerly field will say "Yamaneko" without me or an admin inputing it manually. Y'know, the MB would do it.
OOC: I don't get Linus' post either.
EoFF doesn't have Tau on its staff, so I'll just say no in order to make what would be a frustratingly long and boring story short. Hell, not even Tau's name-change scripts wound up working particularly well, since I didn't get my old name included in my profile when I changed to Rand al'Thor. But eh, whatyagonnado.Originally posted by Yamaneko

Let's pick it apart word for word.Originally posted by Linus

Aaron = Identifier. This means I'm speaking to Aaron.
he's = Contraction for "he has." He meaning Yamaneko.
had = Verb indicating past tense.
that = Article for "av."
av = Short for "avatar."
for = Not a number.
like = Adverb, in reference to a number or amount of time, such as "about" or "approximately."
a = Article for "month."
month = A period of days, usually 30 or 31 days, sometimes 28, and rarely 29 days.
now = The current date and time.
slowy = An insult. It means you're slow.
I don't think that's what you meant.
O_o
That's exactly what I meant. That you've had your Link avatar back for quite some time and Aaron is slow because he just noticed it.
Aaron posted first, then me, then you. How could he have been commenting on my avatar?
